From Rome to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius
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 day trips from Rome to Pompeii and its environs. Don't expect the now generic "wine tasting on the slopes of Vesuvius" rubbish - file under mass tourism / overtourism. Every outbound tour operator on earth uses the same vineyard (Bosco de Medici), the result being that everyone sips wine on the same production line as all the big groups from every possible country. Have you ever tasted wine with coach fumes and Russians for company? It's not pleasant.
We'd rather our clients spend their time with a working vulcanologist right on the edge and perhaps a little inside the crater, crossing boundaries and taking risks to make the experience truly unique. If that means bringing a few bottles of wine, so be it. Wine tasting on the edge of Mount Vesuvius is a niche we will probably own at some future time. Visiting Vesuvius after touring Pompeii is the de facto adventure tour from Naples, and this type of activity with a focus on the volcano is something we very much look forward to developing. At time of writing we are working on new tours that visit several other active vulcanological sites in the Naples area.
It's not usual for us to commend another tour and activities website, indeed, some might say we condemn other websites and perhaps one or two competitor websites once too often! Anyway, many years ago, Volcano Trek caught our attention at a time when even tours of Pompeii were thin on the ground. Back then, Volcano Trek (excursions to Mount Etna, Stromboli and Aeolian Islands) was leading the way with volcano tours in Italy and their website was slick. It hasn't changed and the old school feel sits as well now in 2023 as it did in 2006. Its prehistoric design would be very difficult to get away with in any other business area, but for vulcanological trips it's perfect.
By now you will have realized that our interest in the archaeology of Pompeii has competition! A vulcanological excursion after seeing Pompeii is a fantastic way to make your day trip from Rome truly memorable.

Surely the most exciting day trips from Rome? I've not seen anything quite like these Pompeii tours from Rome in over 30 years of travelling to Italy, specifically the Naples area. Salute Private Pompeii Tours!
