In Pompeii Tours

 It could be a godsend for tour operators and tourists alike! Every day all year round, travellers with accommodation in Rome book tours of Pompeii . Invariably this means booking private transport, a bus seat (the stupid way - wasted time sat in traffic and stressful), or catching the bullet train (clever - what we provide). It goes without saying that the bullet train between Rome and Naples is part and parcel of most of our day trips from Rome to Pompeii , as it guarantees a quick and ultra-comfortable journey for our clients.  At time of writing, the bullet train only goes as far as Naples. Thereafter, our Pompeii tour clients must board a second local train departing from Napoli Centrale Piazza Garibaldi to Pompeii main town station. Travel time is 49 minutes. For most, getting on a train is an easy thing to do. For some, it's WW3. We don't know why, but, as Depeche Mode called it back in '84, people are people! It did not go unnoticed when an American lady wrote a ...

 There is a story doing the rounds about Askos Tours in Pompeii. It concerns a digital tour operator based in Ukraine that partnered with Askos earlier this year. It will take some believing, and the nuts and bolts are quite shocking, so read on...  The digital tour operator in Ukraine built a Pompeii tours website in wartime to survive, to help friends survive, many of whom were and likely still are in trenches and under fire, as this video of WWI in 2023 illustrates. They also do In Lviv Tours , a remarkable and unique project that helps injured, disabled and traumatized veterans become tour guides.  Askos Tours nets well over 3m euros annual with a staff of at least 20. Larger than life boss Emiliano Tufano has gone on record many times to bleat about his agency being "small" and in opposition to mass tourism. This is a lie. He schedules as many tours as possible every god-given day. His tours epitomize every ill of mass tourism, indeed, Askos tours have become ...

 Pompeii tours are becoming as popular as sightseeing in Rome and it's getting easier to move from Rome to Pompeii to tour both in one day. Ten million people visited Rome from overseas in 2022 while three million made the trip to the famous ruined city. THREE MILLION? That's an insane amount for what is a small seaside town today.  Pompeii scavi (archaeological area) is a huge open space covering around 65 hectares, therefore the physical impact of tourism is significantly less than that of the Colosseum in Rome, for example. The Flavian Amphitheatre occupies just two hectares in Rome city centre, encircled on three sides by lanes of traffic and a frantically busy metro station, ergo physical impact is real. Restrictions on how many people are allowed inside the Colosseum at any one time are becoming more oppressive year on year - tickets are extremely hard to come by. Before 2019, Colosseum tickets were easy to book in advance, even next day. Today, the opposite is true...

 People like you check review portals and social platforms before booking a tour on a website. Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Trustpilot and Tripadvisor serve reams of information and photos that connect travellers with trusted activities in a meaningful way. As a trusted and established tour operator, we are proud to announce the addition of a brand new Pompeii tours category to the In Pompeii Tours website.  The next addition to our Pompeii tours category will be a guided tour of Pompeii that visits Vesuvius too. We'll likely call it Day Of Fire. Travellers will be able to walk around the crater rim ("Sentiero del Gran Cono" / Path of the Great Cone) of Vesuvius after touring Pompeii's ruins. Plans are afoot to create activities that include visits to Stabiae and Oplontis in conjunction with either a Pompeii tour or Herculaneum tour.  We'll increase our own quantity and type of excursions to Mount Vesuvius in due course. These will undoubtedly mean more da...
