24th of August, year 79 AD: the ground begins to tremble, the sky blackens and Vesuvius unleashes its wrath. Join us on an excursion to relive the history of Pompeii at its fascinating ruins.

Day Trip to Pompeii

We'll pick you up at your hotel, the port, or the train station at 10 am and head out on the bus to the archaeological remains of Pompeii.

After a drive of approximately 40 minutes, we'll arrive at the remains of the ancient Roman city. On the 24th of August, in the year 79, emperor Tito received one of the worst pieces of news during his reign. Vesuvius had unleashed its fury upon Stabiae, Herculaneum, and Pompei. We'll learn of the devastating effects of the volcano on this last city, passing through its streets, and marveling at how the ashes covered a large part of the urban center.

The city was totally buried and forgotten until the 18th century, and we'll explain the story of how the town was rediscovered thanks in part to the excavations sponsored by the future king of Spain, Carlos III. On our tour we'll pass through the forum where the Romans met and traded, as well as the remains of the public buildings such as the Lupanar (brothel) with frescos of erotic scenes, providing an insight into their way of life. And in the majestic House of the Vetti, we can appreciate the luxury with which the most powerful families surrounded themselves.

Having finished our guided tour of Pompeii we'll begin the return journey to Naples, where we'll arrive around 1:30 pm.

Important

Please note that pickup service at the port of Naples is only available for cruise ship passengers. If you're staying in the city, we'll pick you up at your hotel or at the train station.
