Description (350 words max in 3 to 5 paragraphs)

Your LivTours Pompeii and Naples Tour from Rome is a private day trip via high speed train starting in Rome’s Termini Train Station where you will meet a LivTours greeter who will have your train tickets and prepare you for your day.

Your Premium Class seating allows you to enjoy snacks and wi-fi during your one hour journey to Naples. You will be traveling at a maximum speed of 185 miles/hr, so you will be arriving in Naples Central Station in just over an hour!

Your LivTours local guide will meet you upon your arrival to Naples and will accompany you on a local train on the Circumvesuviana to the famous Pompeii ruins, with Mount Vesuvius getting closer. Arriving in Pompeii, you will head right to the ruins where you will enjoy exclusive access, avoiding the often long line. Your guide will take you on a journey through this incredible ancient city, weaving through its ruins, visiting different parts of the city like the Pompeii Forum, Houses and Baths. Discover the many still-standing structures, mosaics and frescoes, remaining here even after it was buried in 4-6 meters of ash and rock after the eruption.

Once you have finished investigating Pompeii, you will travel back by train to Naples where you will have a chance to admire the juxtaposition of beauty of this spirited city, strolling old narrow streets with graffiti ridden walls, washing lines and locals going about their business and then suddenly find yourself surrounded by elegant architecture and impressive buildings like The Royal Palace. This is of course the birthplace of pizza, and so, your next stop will be for a delicious Neapolitan pizza at a local spot. Savor every last bite, before making your way to the promenade for a walk along the seafront with magnificancent views!

Naples enjoys about 1.5 miles of pedestrianized seafront that runs along the coast. You will enjoy wonderful views of the bay of Naples, the Island of Capri and Mount Vesuvius in the near distance. Along the path are also two lovely waterfront castles, parks, villas, restaurants and bars. The gorgeous sunset lighting makes this path particularly pleasant at dusk and you will find many locals here at the end of the workday.

Your guide will accompany you back to the train station after your seaside stroll to catch your high-speed train back to Rome. You will arrive back by early evening.
