1.Discover the Ancient Ruins of Pompeii: Day Trip from Rome

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 2,247 reviews · 13 hours (approx.) Our pick

Review of the Rome to Pompeii day trip, with guided ruins, lunch, coach travel, Naples traffic, and practical advice before booking.

“Great, knowledgeable guide, good lunch and amazing Pompeii. The only reason I have taken 2 stars off is the added tour of Naples. They just drove the bus through Naples without stopping anywhere which was a shame. Instead, they stopped at an useless factory where expensive ornaments are made out of seashells. Also it is better to sit on the right hand side of the bus to enjoy better views of Naples. Previously, we have taken a viator trip in UK to Stonehenge and Bath and liked it a lot.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 103 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $461

Explore Pompeii and Herculaneum with a private guide, included entry, flexible timing, and vivid stories across two remarkable Roman towns.

“The guide was excellent and knowledgeable and prepared to work at our pace and interests. Very disappointing was that we thought in buying a private tour, the least we would have expected was that the entrance tickets to both Pompeii and Herculaneum would have been pre-purchased and we would not have to join queues in the sun to buy our own tickets. Secondly, the transportation between Pompeii and Herculaneum should have been provided as part of the service. Again disappointing to have to get our own train tickets to get to Herculaneum and then return to our hotel in Pompeii. The travel from hotel and between sites should form part…”

“This experience was great! Our driver was awesome, and we had the best tour guide, Maria. Loved her! She was very passionate and knowledgable, and she was so attentive and helpful when one of our family members got very sick in the extreme heat/crowds. Also, we didn't know we needed to bring a passport for our minor child, and they took care of everything for us so that our experience was seamless. We appreciated all they did for us that day, and it was a really great tour. We learned a lot and had a great time. Thank you!”
