This full-day bus tour from Rome lasts about 12 hours and covers Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius. The trip starts with skip-the-line entrance to the Pompeii Archaeological Site where a licensed English-speaking guide leads a two-hour tour through streets, houses, baths, shops, and theaters of the ancient city. Guests choosing the lunch option stop in Ercolano for a three-course meal at a traditional Neapolitan restaurant overlooking the Bay of Naples. The meal includes pizza, an appetizer, and dessert. After lunch, those who select the Vesuvius option continue to Vesuvius National Park. Here, there is a choice between a roughly 20-minute uphill hike at a 14-degree incline to the crater with an English-speaking leader or a gentler walk guided by a professional geologist. The hike offers views of Capri and Sorrento and the chance to learn about the volcano’s features and geology. The tour includes round-trip transport in a private, air-conditioned coach with Wi-Fi. Options are available for group, semi-private, or private touring, with the latter including hotel pickup and drop-off. This flexible itinerary allows visitors to customize their experience of these historic sites.
