Day Trip to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius from Rome

Step back in time and walk through history on this unforgettable day trip to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius, two of Italy’s most iconic landmarks.
Your journey begins with a guided exploration of the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, frozen in time by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. As you stroll along the cobbled streets, you'll witness remarkably well-preserved ruins—homes, temples, theaters, baths, and even ancient graffiti—providing a vivid glimpse into daily life nearly 2,000 years ago.
After Pompeii, ascend the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, the very volcano responsible for the city's destruction. A scenic drive takes you up to the national park, followed by a moderate hike to the summit. From the top, peer into the steaming crater and take in breathtaking panoramic views of the Bay of Naples and surrounding countryside.
Standing on the rim of one of the world’s most famous volcanoes is a surreal and humbling experience—a true highlight of the tour.
