5.From Rome: Pompeii and Naples Day Trip by High-Speed Train

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 234 reviews · from $259

Travel from Rome to Naples in about 70 minutes, then tour Pompeii with an English-speaking guide such as Rosa, Vincenzo, or Chiara. You’ll see bakeries, baths, homes, brothels, and plaster casts before pizza lunch and a quick Naples visit covering Posillipo, Piazza del Plebiscito, San Carlo Theatre, and the Spanish Quarter.

“We liked seeing Pompeii. Our guide was very knowledgeable. She had a lot of strategies to stay ahead of the crowds. I feel we saw a lot. Lunch was great at the restaurant. I didn't love the drive through Naples's traffic. The stop at the Galleria was fine. The train was an hour late because there was an earthquake in the area. I would recommend this experience.”
