What to expect
You'll depart Rome in a private vehicle and drive south towards the Bay of Naples. Upon arrival at Pompeii, skip regular queues and enter the site. If you've booked the all-inclusive option, your guide walks you through ruins for three hours; otherwise, you explore independently. Mid-tour, head to a vineyard on Vesuvius's lower slopes for lunch paired with local wines and a mozzarella tasting. The drive back to Rome takes several hours. Suitable for all fitness levels, though the site involves substantial walking on uneven ground.
Good to know
The driver provides general commentary from the vehicle but cannot join site walks. Wine tastings require guests 18+; soft drinks substitute for younger visitors. The light option shares transport with up to seven other travellers but costs less. One infant seat available on request. Tipping is discretionary.
