Explore Pompeii and Herculaneum from Rome with skip-the-line tickets, lunch, wine tasting, and a buffalo mozzarella tasting.

About this tour

Travel from Rome to the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum on a full-day journey that pairs remarkable archaeological sites with flavors from the slopes of Mount Vesuvius. With skip-the-line tickets and hotel pickup and drop-off, you can focus on the experience rather than the logistics.

Explore the UNESCO-listed parks, then pause for lunch and a wine tasting at a restaurant on Vesuvius’s slopes. A buffalo mozzarella tasting adds another local flavor. Your professional English-speaking driver provides general commentary from the vehicle; the driver does not accompany you on foot. Choose the Private All-Inclusive option for a licensed guide for 2 hours at Pompeii and 2 hours at Herculaneum. The Private No Tour Guide option includes the driver and vehicle, tastings, lunch, and tickets. Guests under 18 can have soft drinks instead of wine.

Discover the ancient sites and regional tastes on this Rome Pompeii and Herculaneum tour, and choose the option that best suits your day.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.95 from 20 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.7. Top 18% in Rome means it ranks in the top 18% of tours in Rome by this score.
