Best guided Pompeii tours from rome
The easiest way to see Pompeii on a day trip from Rome is to join a guided tour. This way, you can relax while in transit and listen to your guide explain history and significance of the site before you arrive. Your guide will then help navigate you through the huge site that is Pompeii and show you the main points of interest and the stories behind them.
The site itself is very poorly marked so you need some sort of information with you to fully appreciate what you are seeing. Choose a tour led by a qualified archaeologist and you will be in the best hands to discover the stories and history of Pompeii.
During the peak season from May to October, Pompeii can get very crowded. An expert guide will know how to avoid the congestion and show you the highlights of Pompeii.
We think the best Pompeii tours from Rome offer an additional stop to make the trip down from Rome very worthwhile. This would be harder to manage if you tried to do the trip on your own in a day. And the best thing is you don’t have to worry about logistics getting back to Rome because that is all taken care of.
LISTEN: New discoveries in ancient Pompeii
Day trips from Rome to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast
If your itinerary just could not stretch to spending several days in the south of Italy but you really wanted to see Pompeii and Positano then Walks of Italy’s Pompeii and Amalfi Coast tour is a good choice.
Leaving early in the morning from Rome, this tour includes a guided experience of the ruins of Pompeii with an archaeologist who has in-depth knowledge of the excavations. You’ll take a peek inside private homes, villas and even an ancient restaurant to discover what life was like before Vesuvius eruption froze the city in time.
After visiting Pompeii, you’ll take a scenic drive along the Amalfi Coast to picturesque Positano. Here you will have time for lunch and exploring before returning to Rome.
Note – many people use this tour as a transfer service to Positano. Simply make a note on your booking if you wish to do this.
This is a full day (13 hour) tour departing from Rome at 07:15 am. From November to March this tour visits Sorrento in place of Positano where many of the shops and restaurants have closed for the season.
Why we like this tour
If you only have one day to reach the southern part of Italy while visiting Rome, this tour gives you a taste of the salty sea air of Positano and the history of Pompeii. It’s a small group tour so you won’t be part of a big crowd.
Tour Highlights
- Guided tour of Pompeii with an archaeologist
- Skip the line entry
- Scenic drive along the Amalfi Coast
- Free time for lunch, shopping or swimming in Positano

This is a well designed (but most of all fun) tour delivered by passionate guides who bring the stories and history of Pompeii to life.
- Tour leader plus archaeologist led tour of Pompeii

CityWonders – Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius
Join City Wonders Pompeii from Rome day trip (available on GetYourGuide) from Rome and not only are you able to explore Pompeii but in summer you can also climb Mount Vesuvius the volcano that destroyed the city.
This tour combines history and outdoor activity for a full day of fun exploring the destruction of Pompeii. Your group of 24 people or less will transfer by air-conditioned coach to Pompeii where your guide will walk you through the main sights, explaining the events of that fateful day in 79AD.
In the summer months, you’ll then be taken to Mount Vesuvius where, after a 30 minute hike, you’ll enjoy views of Pompeii, Naples and the bay before the journey back to Rome. After mid-November the hiking trails on Vesuvius are closed so the tour continues in Naples after a panoramic drive.
This is a full day (12 hour) tour departing from Rome at 07:30 am. This tour runs daily in summer, with a reduced schedule in the winter months.
There’s nothing like getting perspectives from nature and humanity to appreciate the force of Vesuvius. Seeing the preserved city and getting up close with its destroyer are unique experiences you cannot have anywhere else in the world. City Wonders (formerly Dark Rome) are a highly regarded tour operator with expert guides.
- Guided tour of Pompeii
- Free time in Pompeii to explore at leisure
- Climb Mount Vesuvius for views of Pompeii and the bay of Naples
How to do a day trip from Rome to Pompeii on your own
If you’re on a budget or simply like traveling on your own steam, this section explains how to organize your day trip to Pompeii from Rome on your own.
You will need to think about transport, tickets and tours – recommended because the site is poorly marked. We have outlined the options for all of these factors below.
READ: our guide on How to buy tickets for Pompeii
DAY TRIP FROM Rome to Pompeii by train
With several departures per hour, the fast frecciarossa trains from Rome to Naples followed by the local train to Pompeii is the best way to do a day trip on your own. Your travel time from Roma Termini to Pompeii is around 2 hours and the station for Pompeii is right outside the main entrance.
Take the fast train to Napoli Centrale from Roma Termini – this takes around 70 minutes and will cost from €13 one way and €27 return if you purchase tickets with a set date and time in advance. You can purchase tickets on your day of travel but you will often pay a higher base fare.
We recommend Omio to book your train and transport travel within Italy because it is has schedules, pricing and tickets for both major train operators in Italy and is easy to use
In Naples, you need to transfer to the Circumvesuviana Naples-Sorrento local railway at Napoli Porta Garibaldi station (downstairs from Napoli Centrale) to get to Pompeii. This is a local metro system train which you will need a separate ticket for. The fare is €3.60 one way and you can buy your ticket at the office next to the platform. There is no need to buy these tickets in advance.
The Circumvesuviana trains start running at 06:10 am with departures every half hour or so. The journey takes around 35 minutes. Please note this local train can be crowded and is not air-conditioned. It is also notorious for pickpockets so keep your belongings safe.
You need the Pompeii Scavi – Villa Dei Misteri stop. It is a bit confusing because there are several Pompeii stations. Please ignore those, this is the one you need. For timetable and ticketing information visit the Circumsvesuviana site here .
Returning to Rome from Pompeii
When it is time to return to Rome simply take the return Circumvesuviana train from Pompeii Scavi – Villa Dei Misteri stop and get off at Napoli Porta Garibaldi. From there head upstairs to the intercity train station. Services to Rome from Napoli Centrale depart regularly until around 20:15 pm. The last fast train to Rome is at 20:30 pm.
READ: our Italy train travel guide
DIRECT SERVICE FROM Rome TO Pompeii (LIMITED)
From August 2023 a new, limited service direct from Rome Termini to Pompeii is available. Running only on Sundays with one return trip available, it leaves Rome in the morning and returns 9 hours later. We recommend including a side trip to Naples or Sorrento as 9 hours is a bit much for even the most enthusiastic Pompeii visitor.
Shuttle bus from Rome to Pompeii
If you don’t want to bother with train transfers and ticketing you could always take a shuttle bus service from Rome . The bus leaves at 07:30 am from a departure point close to Rome Termini station.
Please note – this is simply a shuttle and not a tour so there will be minimal to no commentary.
The bus shuttle service operates daily – > click here for prices
Pompeii opening hours
1st April – 31st October
- 09:00 – 19:00 [last entry at 17:30]
1st November – 31st March
- 09:00 – 17:00 [last entry at 15:30]
The site is open daily except for 1 January, 1 May, 25 December. Exhibit and other closure information can be found here
Pompeii tickets and tours
Like most of the major attractions in Italy, there can often be long lines for entry. While Pompeii is not as crowded as the Vatican Museums or Colosseum, if there are cruise ships in port in Naples you can still wait a long time for tickets. If you want to skip the line at Pompeii it is best to book these tickets in advance.
Here are the best sites to get your tickets for Pompeii:
- Pompeii Scavi official website – ticketing is managed by Ticketone – a booking fee applies
- Pompeii fast track entry on GetYourGuide – authorized ticket partner – a booking fee applies
- More ticket options for Pompeii
Note – Adult ticket prices start from €18. The site is free to enter for children of all nationalities under the age of 18 – you will need to show passport or ID for this. Other discounts and offers apply for EU nationals. Check the Pompeii website for details
Do I need to join a POMPEII tour or can I explore on my own?
We think a tour is a good idea at Pompeii. The various buildings and highlights are poorly marked and described so without a tour you’re basically wandering around not knowing what you are looking at and likely missing some of the most important and interesting aspects of Pompeii.
You will be offered tours when you arrive but you really have no way of knowing if they are any good. If you choose this option be mindful to look for a tour guide with a badge issued by the Region of Campania or book at the information desk at Porta Marina or Piazza Esedra. Note that these tours are private tours as the site itself does not offer tours.
We recommend booking your tours in advance and meeting the guide when you get to Pompeii. That way you can read reviews and find one that suits you and your plans for the day. We suggest:
- 2 hour walking tour of Pompeii – departs at various intervals from 9.30 am, including the afternoon until to 3.00 pm, so you don’t need to be up too early in Rome. Prices from €43 per person
- Archaeologist-led Pompeii tour – tour starting at 9:00 am, into the afternoon until 3.30 pm giving you time to explore Naples before returning to Rome
- Small group tour of the Pompeii ruins – tour running at various times from 9.30 am through to 3.30 pm, guided by a professional archaeologist with no more than 20 people. Prices from €53. Spanish, German and French tours also available.
Another option is to download an audio guide. We suggest Rick Steves audio tour of Pompeii – more info but you can also rent an audioguide when you get there.

What else can we do before returning to Rome?
As mentioned above, many group tours offer an extra stop in Naples, Sorrento, or even a climb up Mount Vesuvius. If you wanted to do this yourself, that is possible too however it does make for a long day. Here are some options:
Pizza and sightseeing in Naples
Take the Circumvesuviana train back to Piazza Garibaldi. Then head straight for Antica Pizzeria da Michele [Via Cesare Sersale, 1, Naples] where your Margherita pizza is made to perfection by the Condurro family – 5th generation pizza makers.
After a delicious lunch, you can explore Naples on foot before returning to Rome. Don’t miss – the grand sweeping Piazza del Plebiscito, the National Archaeological Museum, Palazzo Reale and the Duomo (Cathedral). Luckily if you need another slice of the delicious pizza before you go, your lunch stop is right near the train station.
DISCOVER: the best pizza in Naples
Climb Vesuvius
Buses to Vesuvius depart from outside the Pompei Scavi Circumvesuviana station. Buses run every hour from 08:00 am to 15:00pm. It takes about 55 minutes to reach the Vesuvius ticket office and costs €3.10 each way. You can buy tickets from the bus driver.
Once you reach the ticket office it is a 30 minute hike to the crater. There is an entrance fee of €10 to access the park which includes a guided tour. You can read more about the hiking trails and visitor information here .
Make sure to bring sturdy shoes, a hat and a jacket in the cooler months as winds can make it quite cold at the crater. The last bus departs Vesuvius for Pompeii at 17:40 pm
Wander Sorrento
Continue along the Circumvesuviana line from Pompeii to Sorrento. The journey takes around 30 minutes. In Sorrento , you can wander the town and enjoy views of the Bay of Naples and Vesuvius rising above Pompeii. Or, if you’re hungry, take the elevator down to Marina Grande and enjoy a seafood feast by the sea.
Famous for the delicious liqueur limoncello, in Sorrento, you can visit a secluded lemon grove where you can try and buy some to take back with you to Rome.
LISTEN: to Limoncello – Simply the zest!
FAQ and Tips for visiting Pompeii
How much time should we spend visiting Pompeii?
The minimum amount of time to spend at the site is 2 hours. This is enough to quickly see the highlights but not much more. Remember that Pompeii was a city home to over 17,000 people and the site itself covers 64 to 67 hectares (170 acres). You can easily spend 4-5 hours here if you are a history buff.
What are some of the must see highlights of Pompeii?
The amphitheatre, Villa of the Mysteries where you can see one of Pompeii’s famous wall paintings, Stabian Baths – richly decorated Roman bathing house, Temple of Isis – an incredibly well preserved temple dedicated to the Egyptian goddess, House of the Small Fountain with gorgeous frescoes and paintings. I really enjoyed the reconstructed vineyard which actually produces wine.
What should we wear and take?
The site at Pompeii is exposed with very little shade and cover. Check the weather before you go and make sure you are prepared. In summer you should take a hat, sunscreen and wear light, loose clothing. When it is cooler bring a rain coat and umbrella.
No matter the season you will need sturdy shoes suitable for walking, plenty of water and snacks. There are minimal facilities at the site to purchase food and drinks.
Please note – bags, backpacks, luggage, or cases with dimensions exceeding 30x30x15cm are not allowed. You can leave large bags (but not your luggage) at the cloakroom services provided at the entrances.
Is the site suitable for children?
Yes, it is. We took our then 4 year old twins to Pompeii and enjoyed our time there. The site is great for exploring and safe for little ones as there are no cars. We were there in Spring and the weather was perfect. I’d probably reconsider with little ones during summer when it gets very hot.
You can bring your stroller and there are specially marked routes suitable for prams as well as three baby change facilities – Via dell’Abbondanza, Via di Nola, and at the corner of Via Stabiana and Via della Fortuna.
Older children will no doubt be fascinated by the history of the volcano and city. If you think you need some help firing their imaginations, you could join a family friendly tour of Pompeii with guides who know just how to bring the site to life for little minds.
Enjoy Pompeii!
Your Pompeii day trip from Rome will no doubt be one of the highlights of your trip to Italy. One of the most unique historic sites in the world, it is such a treat to see this city frozen in time.
We are sure your visit to Pompeii will stir in you a curiosity to find out more about the cities and culture of Ancient Rome. There are many Roman sites to visit throughout Italy however Pompeii is no doubt the most famous and intriguing.

A rest stop is included part way through the tour which was perfect for food, drink or rest. The guide to Pompeii Gianno was brilliant and we saw a lot of the site in the 90 minutes we had there.

Dina (our guide) and Max (our driver) were absolutely fantastic. My wife and I chose the private tour and it was very much worth the extra money. There is a lot of driving on this tour and Dina and Max made sure that time flew by with their engaging stories and humorous banter. Pompeii was fascinating and the local guide (we think his name was Antonio) was so full of incredible information it seemed as if he had grown up there and had witnessed the volcano himself. The stop in Positano was also very enjoyable. Many cool shops and a delightful lunch by the sea. This was far our favorite tour out of Rome (and we did many). Go private!

First, it is a long day so be prepared. The buses were comfortable and they make a stop each way for a bathroom and coffee break. Our professional guide at Pompeii was awesome and made the entire ride worth it. We did drive into Naples and get to see some of the city from the bus and get a picture of the ocean but it wasn’t totally worth it, at least for us. It was good to say we saw it I guess but Pompeii was the star, and totally worth it Mark-United States (Read More Reviews on Get Your Guide ) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I knew this was going to be a long day with lots of driving, but the bus was great and comfortable for us (couple in mid 30s) and my parents (couple in late 60s). Really didn’t have much expectation of Sorrento, but it was spectacular! We used the free time to check out the water front/beach clubs and my parents checked out the churches! The lunch spot was unforgettable and the view was a highlight for all of us! Pompeii was also great despite the heat of the day. The guide there (different than the one on the bus) was thorough and kept things moving along nicely, finding shade to help keep us as cool as possible.

Just wonderful. Our driver was very nice and very prompt which was great. Our guide at Pompeii (romolo) was just fantastic. He was highly knowledgeable and clearly loved the site. He had humor (which we greatly appreciate) and made it a fun two hours. We saw a ton, but as he admitted not everything. BUT that was perfect! As he showed us and was wonderfully honest about ….you don’t need to see every restaurant remain to know what they looked like. We got the Pompeii experience without spending the entire day there. Sorrento was lovely but given the horrid traffic getting there, I wish we had gotten more then basically two hours. The time lost to traffic was sorely missed. Also in Pompeii…maybe find a way to allow 10min in the bookstore? As folks who collect things from trips to make memory boxes, we would have loved to be able to stop in.
Beyond Amazing!!
My husband, teen daughters and I enjoyed an absolutely incredible morning exploring Pompeii. Our guide Claudia was fantastic and knowledgable. I have been to Italy before and have missed out on Pompeii. If you are traveling in Italy, POMPEII should NOT be missed! I will never forget it. Our drivers, Andreas and Claudia (a different Claudia) were friendly, helpful and safe. We had an excellent lunch in the adorable town of Sorrento.

Begin your private Amalfi Coast tour from Rome with a pick-up directly from your hotel. Your chauffeur will take you down to southern Italy in a luxury car to the picturesque coastal paradise of Positano—one of the most iconic towns on the Amalfi coast. As you near Positano, look out the windows and across the winding roads to admire the views of cliff-side towns that have left travelers in awe for centuries.
Positano is a picture-perfect town filled with shops selling handmade sandals, ceramics, and even one-of-a-kind perfumes and fragrances. Make unforgettable memories as you wander along the charming streets offering seaside views; stop and taste limoncello—the local renowned lemon-infused liquor made with lemons grown in the hills nearby; eat some fresh fish at one of the many seaside restaurants; and gaze out into the magnificent deep blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
After wandering through this seaside town, your private chauffeur will pick you up and take you to one of the world’s most famous and well-preserved archaeological ruins—Pompeii. Upon arriving do not hesitate to tell your expert guide your interests so they can truly customize this experience for you. Enjoy priority access to the ruins allowing you to make the most of your day.
Your private guide will transport you back in time as they explain the history of this once-active ancient Roman port city. Conquered in 80 BC, it faced devastation nearly a century later in 79 AD when Mt Vesuvius erupted, burying the city in ash. Untouched until 1599, excavations began, and it remains an active excavation site today.
Your guide will highlight the prestigious mosaics found in the House of Vetti and other exclusive residences of the rich and famous, where you can admire its advanced engineering. Details like central heating show us how advanced the Romans were, not to mention how much it must have improved the daily life of the Pompeiians, paving the way for many modern engineers.
