Pompeii Half Day Excursion

Maximize your time in Italy with this best-selling tour which doubles as transportation to or from your hotel!

We’ll fetch you right from the train station and take you on a two hour private tour of the ancient city of Pompeii led by our local expert. This UNESCO world heritage site is one that simply can’t be missed. With this tour, you will not only see Pompeii, but you will come to understand this ancient city nearly 2,000 years after it was swallowed by volcanic eruption. In 79 AD, Italy’s Mt. Vesuvius erupted raining destructive volcanic ash on several cities, hitting Pompeii the hardest. The city and about 20,000 of its inhabitants were completely buried in the natural disaster. Growing up with Mt. Vesuvius in his backyard, our licensed guide is deeply connected to this region and will provide an in-depth look at the impressive structural ruins, preserved mosaic tiles and vivid frescoes left here! Following the tour, we’ll stop for lunch before a scenic drive to your hotel. Please note this tour can also take place in reverse, beginning at your hotel, then stopping in Pompeii, and ending at the train station.
