Rome to Pompeii day trip by high-speed train with skip-the-line guide, Vesuvius winery wine tasting, and lunch in a small group.
“This was just an absolute top-notch, professional, well run tour. Everything ran like clockwork. We had a friendly guy, Lucas, who handled all the logistics of trains and buses. Our other guide was extremely knowledgeable of Pompeii and all it has to offer. The site itself is stunning. We were there a solid 2 1/2 hours, and you felt like you'd only seen 20%. The lunch at the winery was super nice as well. I highly recommend this tour for those looking to do a day trip from Rome to Pompeii.”

“Really great day trip! Taking the train was the way to go as it was so fast. The guide did a great job avoiding crowding. Did leave a few ppl behind a two times tho so maybe more stopping and head-counting is needed when doing long stretches of walking, espeically across roads and by exits. The lunch was fantastic! Great location and wine.”

“Excellent day well organised and fantastic support with messages before and on route to check we had got on the high speed train, Anelliesse was waiting for us on the platform in Naples where we were taken to their offices to be given return information, tickets and to wait for others to join our group. We were then accompanied on the next train to Scavi station and Pompeii entrance then introduced to our guide. Pompeii was amazing however we felt our guide needed more enthusiasm plus we didn’t get the full 2 hours probably due to the downpour of rain. Despite the weather we decided to stay in the site…”

“Pompeii was a great tour. The assigned assistant had a plan and did not adjust. We were on time yet treated as if we were late. The air conditioned bus broke and others without AC were substituted. People were added to our group throughout. The “tour” of Vesuvius isn’t a tour - guide walked off. The facilitator sent us into gate to find a guide and then return.”
