Itinerary

Pompeii is an ancient Roman city located near modern-day Naples in southern Italy. It became famous due to the volcanic eruption that buried the entire city of Pompeii under several meters of volcanic material, instantly killing its inhabitants and preserving the city in a remarkable state of preservation. Pompeii is famous because it was destroyed in 79 CE when a nearby volcano, Mount Vesuvius, erupted, covering it in at least 19 feet (6 meters) of ash and other volcanic debris. The city's quick burial preserved it for centuries before its ruins were discovered in the late 16th century.
 
Start your adventure with an early morning departure from Rome. Sit back and relax as you travel comfortably to Pompeii, anticipating a day full of historical discoveries and breathtaking scenery. The journey sets the stage for the amazing sites you will explore. Arrive in Pompeii for a guided tour of the Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk through the remarkably preserved ancient city, buried in 79 A.D. by a catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
