About this activity

A fun day tour to meet new friends and backpackers aged between 18 and 39 to discover Naples and Pompeii with local guides. Hop aboard your train in Rome in the morning, then head to the historic city of Pompeii. Along the way, listen as your guide sheds light on the horrific eruption that ended life there in the city in 79 AD.

On arrival in Pompeii, enjoy two hours to explore the site at your leisure. Use your map to explore at your own pace and take in key landmarks such as the Forum, the temples and markets for which the site is famous. Entry tickets to the site and maps will be provided. You will be able to hire some audioguides or organise a guided tour with a licensed tour guide with us. In Pompeii you will also be able to join your tour leader for lunch and eat the famous Italian pizza.

Travel onward to Naples — widely considered among Italy’s prettiest coastal cities. Follow your guide through the historic streets and squares before leaving you for some free time to wander around and soak up the atmosphere or visiting some of the famous museums at your own time. We will walk through the the old city centre passing by Spaccanapoli street, San Gregorio market and Piazza del Gesù. If there is still time we will continue towards Piazza Plebiscito, San Carlo's Theatre, Umberto I the gallery, Maschio Angioino and lots more. There is a lot of walking involved so be ready to sweat your pizza off.

As you explore, gain insight into Naples’ rich history and colorful culture, and perhaps give yourself a sweet treat with the famous Rhum Babà. When your time in seaside Naples is at an end, return in comfort to Rome to conclude your tour.

We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He showed up on time, was kind, caring, personable, knowledgeable and showed us a lot of great places in napoli. Including an introduction to deep fried Mac and cheese and amazing €5.00 pizza. He provided a bunch of interesting facts and really tailored the tour to what the 6 of us wanted to see and even gave us time to shop for souvenirs and snacks/drinks. In the end, he offered to show us the castle by the Marina and accompanied us in the metro back to the train station. Overall a great tour. Unfortunately we didn’t feel we had enough time in Pompei but that just means we have to come back!

Eduardo our Tour Leader was very personable and knowledgeable. During our train ride gave us a very informed overview of Italian history and Pompeii. We later went to Naples where he showed us various points of interest along with some free time shopping. I highly recommend when booking this tour to request Eduardo, you will not be disappointed. Thank You Ed and Renata Szymczak

Great tour to these two destinations via fast train. A short commute which is great. Pompeii amazing which we had more time however you can spend an entire day there and you won’t see it all since the city is large. Naples was fun, especially eating at the Antics d Michele for pizza. Gabriella our guide was fantastic, sweet young lady full of information about Pompeii and Naples. Thank you Gabriella for making our tour a blast!

We went around city of Napoli on foot, saw a lot of things, went through many small alleys (best way to explore the city is by foot I reckon). Pompeii is great. Our guide is Alessandro. There were only 4 of us in the tour, small and personalized - the other 2 were these very nice young Canadian couple
