- Pompeii Archaeological Park - Pompeii was an ancient Roman city located near present-day Naples in Italy’s Campania region, within the comune of Pompei. Alongside Herculaneum and numerous villas in the vicinity (such as those in Boscoreale and Stabiae), Pompeii was buried under 4 to 6 meters (13 to 20 feet) of volcanic ash and pumice during Mount Vesuvius’s eruption in AD 79. Many residents were unable to escape and were also buried. The journey from Rome to Pompeii takes approximately 3 hours.
- Vesuvius National Park - Mount Vesuvius is a somma-stratovolcano situated on the Gulf of Naples. The eruption in 79 AD led to the destruction of the Roman cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis, Stabiae, and other settlements. Vesuvius has a rich historical and literary background. During the AD 79 eruption, it was revered as a Genius-type deity, depicted as a serpent in the decorative frescoes of many lararia, or household shrines, found in Pompeii. An inscription from Capua to Iovi Vesuvio suggests that it was worshipped as a manifestation of Jupiter, known as Jupiter Vesuvius. The time mentioned includes the tour of Vesuvius and transportation between Pompeii and Vesuvius, as well as from Pompeii to Rome.

Travel back in time and experience history on this remarkable day trip to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius, two of Italy’s most renowned landmarks.
The adventure starts with a guided tour of the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, preserved in time by the devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. As visitors wander through the cobbled streets, they will encounter remarkably well-preserved ruins—homes, temples, theaters, baths, and even ancient graffiti—offering a vivid insight into daily life nearly 2,000 years ago.
Following the visit to Pompeii, the journey continues with an ascent up the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, the very volcano that led to the city’s demise. A picturesque drive leads to the national park, followed by a moderate hike to the summit. From the top, visitors can gaze into the steaming crater and enjoy stunning panoramic views of the Bay of Naples and the surrounding countryside.
Standing on the edge of one of the world’s most famous volcanoes is a surreal and awe-inspiring experience—a true highlight of the tour.
