Description

Begin your day with check-in at Rome Termini Station and board one of Europe’s finest high-speed trains to Naples, arriving in just over an hour. Upon arrival, meet your local guide and take a shuttle bus to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pompeii.

Enjoy a two-hour guided tour of Pompeii’s ancient streets, where remarkably preserved bakeries, shops, residences, baths, and brothels remain. View the plaster casts of victims trapped during the eruption almost two millennia ago, providing a unique glimpse into ancient life frozen in time.

After exploring Pompeii, have lunch at a historic pizzeria offering authentic Neapolitan pizza, a specialty with strong local competition as this is the birthplace of Italian pizza.

Following lunch, return to Naples for sightseeing. Take in the panoramic view of the Bay of Naples from Posillipo, with Mount Vesuvius visible in the background. Continue with a scenic drive along the seaside promenade past Castel dell’Ovo, then explore Naples’ city center on foot, including Piazza del Plebiscito, San Carlo Theatre, and the Royal Palace from outside.

Sample a Neapolitan espresso and the traditional pastry, sfogliatella, during your free time to shop or explore. See the Quartieri Spagnoli’s narrow alleys and the Umberto I Gallery before returning comfortably to Rome by high-speed train.
