Rome - Naples - Rome by bullet train
Naples - Pompeii - Naples rail transfers
Guided tour of Pompeii

 The ultimate day trip from Rome to Pompeii with ultra-fast bullet train travel that will get you to the port city of Naples in about an hour.

 Comfortable scheduled rail transfer to Pompeii town from Naples (beneath Napoli Centrale station) is the second leg of your journey, before a fully guided tour with an archaeologist. All transport connections are pre-booked to deliver comfort and convenience.

 It is said that by 2024, there'll be a direct bullet train service between Rome and the archaeological site of Pompeii. This being Italy, we're not expecting to make the trip until 2034 at best. In the meantime, day trips that transport travellers from Rome to Pompeii via Naples and back continue to be bucket listed.

 This full day VIP tour from Rome is our most popular Rome to Pompeii trip. Pompeii Express comes a close second while new activity Slow Tourism day trip from Rome is for travellers who don't like to be rushed.

 On arrival at Napoli Centrale station from Rome, take your time with a cappuccino and cornetto then head downstairs to Napoli Piazza Garibaldi station beneath the main concourse. It's easy to reach by escalator then a five or six minute walk to the platform. From there, board your scheduled train to Pompeii station.

 Try and relax on the way to Pompeii, as Mount Vesuvius will loom in and out of view en route. It's the same colossus today as when it erupted and will likely do so again in the near future, if vulcanologists are to be believed.

 At the Pompeii meeting point, locate your guide and enter the ruined city. Understand why the eruption happened and feel the fate of the Pompeiians. What have we learned and what is yet to be discovered?

 You will tour streets torn asunder by the violence of nature, enter buildings wherein vivid frescoes adorn walls that have not changed since Pompeii's last day, and feel at one with antiquity.

 Upon conclusion of the tour and time inside the ruins to roam free, walk back to the station once again for the return train back to Naples and then on to Rome.
