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

About this tour

Travel from Rome to two remarkable archaeological sites on a private full-day outing, with skip-the-line entry and a taste of local food and wine along the way. This Rome Pompeii and Herculaneum tour gives you time to explore the ancient cities before pausing for lunch on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius.

Visit Pompeii and Herculaneum, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites, with entrance tickets included. A licensed local guide leads two hours at each site when you select the guide option; otherwise, your professional English-speaking driver provides general commentary from the vehicle and does not accompany you on foot. The day also includes a buffalo mozzarella tasting and lunch with wine tasting at a restaurant on Vesuvius. Guests under 18 can have soft drinks instead of wine.

Private, air-conditioned transport and pickup and drop-off at your Rome accommodation make the long day easier to manage. Choose this Rome Pompeii and Herculaneum tour for a convenient way to pair ancient history with regional flavors, and select the guide option if you want guided visits inside both parks.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 2 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 7.2. Top 40% in Rome means it ranks in the top 40% of tours in Rome by this score.
