Bullet train from Rome to Pompeii ruins

 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 negative review in the high heat of August, 2022, blaming us for a busy platform and just having to move... Honey, it's Italy in peak season. Several million travellers visit Pompeii each year and that number will only increase.

 Come 2024, or likely 2034, the Rome to Pompeii high speed rail link will be real, but please be patient... When we've experienced the service for ourselves, we'll include it in all our guided Pompeii tours departing Rome. See you soon!
