Overview
Pompeii and Herculaneum are two of Europe's most extraordinary archaeological sites, yet reaching them can be challenging. Traveling by high-speed train, we've removed the stress so that you can spend your time visiting incredible sites and making memories, not sitting on a cramped bus!
Pompei was a large and diverse city with a healthy mix of wealthy elite, merchants, artisans, and slaves whose lives you'll get a crystal-clear glimpse of on a 2-hour walking tour.
After some rest-and-recharge at an authentic pizzeria, a short transfer will take us to our second destination.
Less than half the size of Pompeii, Herculaneum was a small coastal city characterized by remarkably preserved wooden structures and vibrant frescoes. With an expert guide by your side, walk in the footsteps of the noble Romans who once called this lost city home.
Upon conclusion of your tour, a short transfer will bring you back to Naples Station, where your fast train back to Rome awaits!
