# Rome to Pompeii Guided Tour with Wine & Lunch by High Speed Train

**Guidekin's take:** Picked for the comfort: the high speed train to Naples instead of a long coach ride, a fully guided skip the line Pompeii, then a winery visit with lunch and tasting where children get soft drinks. Train, transfers, guide and lunch are included at €216 per person, tips are not. The group is capped at twenty, and it involves a lot of walking.

**First day trip?:** Choose Pompeii first: rail, entry, guide and winery lunch at €216 per person; allow 9h and expect extended walking. Rated 4.8 from 1629 reviews. Trade-off: Requires extended periods of walking. (last checked September 13, 2026)

In our comparison: #43 of 75 in Day Trips from Rome, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Most day trips to Pompei from Rome take 12 or more hours and involve 6 to 8 hours sitting on a cramped bus.

This all-inclusive tour by high-speed train is the utmost in comfort, quality and convenience. Reach Naples in one hour, and from there in only 35 minutes by coach we arrive at Pompeii where your expert local guide will amaze you during a walking tour of this city devastated by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in AD 79. 

Experience a world frozen in time as you stroll along the cobblestone ancient roads where perfectly conserved ancient bakeries, shops, stalls, residences, public baths and even brothels remain! Take in the tragic plaster casts of the Pompeiians who were immortalized on that devastating day by pyroclastic flow and ash.

Upon conclusion of the guided tour you'll enjoy a tasting of four of the wines produced in the fertile volcanic soil of Mt. Vesuvius followed by an abundance of antipasti, a first course and dessert before returning to Naples for your return trip.
