Italy · DAY TRIPS IN ROME
The good day trips in Rome fill up weeks ahead and the best go first. Below: the 15 to lock in early, what each includes, and where they differ once you are on the ground.
Rome to Pompeii, Amalfi Coast, and Sorrento in one long day, with skip-the-line Pompeii entry and a limoncello tasting plus Wi-Fi coach.
“Everything was perfect. Our guide Robert was super friendly and a great stroryteller. Pompei and Sorrento are both beautiful places to visit, in their own ways. I recommend this day trip.”
Skip-the-line Pompeii plus the Amalfi Coast drive and Positano. Comfort coach, expert guides, and real time to wander for about $99.
“A perfect day trip. Heather our trip leader was amazing, very funny and very good at organising us. Our guide in Pompeii was Enrico, a great Al Pacino/Robert De Niro looking guy that gave us an excellent and funny experience and answered all of our questions. And props to the other Enrico, our driver for the whole day.”
Skip-the-line Pompeii with a guide, plus Amalfi Coast views and free time in Positano from Rome, all in one long day.
“This is a great way to visit Pompeii and Positano if you’re on a time crunch and want the experiences during your Rome trip. However, the whole thing felt very rushed and a little stressful. They push many reminders to get to the meeting point early, only to make you wait for the latest arrivals anyway and then rush you to the buses which are a few blocks away. The seats on the bus are tight - if you are tall or on the larger side they are not comfortable, your knees dig into the seat in front of you and there’s nowhere to rest your head since the seats…”
Guided Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius day trip from Rome with skip-the-line entry, optional crater hike or geologist walk, and pizza lunch.
“Tmstarting with the negatives. The travel is a bit of a slog, unavoidable when traveling so far but to be considered, the coach is not greatly comfortable but, again, to be expected when transporting 30 ish people for a 12 hour round trip. That said 100% utterly worth it for the history in pompeii alone. The tour guide was delightful and engaging The geologist walk was fascinating and ultimately made the trip worth it all on its own. The female geologist our group had ( forgotten her name ashamed to say) was brilliant insightful and excellent, clearly passionate. If you are at all interested in volcanoes and the science behind…”
Rome to Tuscany day trip with Montepulciano and Pienza. 3-course farm lunch, Brunello tastings, and an air-conditioned coach.
“The lunch was mediocre at best. 5 measly sips of wine. Probably one glass of wine total. They really needed to have some bottles in the tables. The drive itself was nice and the tour guide was great.”
Skip the line at Pompeii with an expert guide from Rome, then choose lunch and Vesuvius crater views or a geologist walk.
“Pompeii was amazing! It is incredible what has been preserved and uncovered. Valentina was friendly and knowledgeable and gave good suggestions afterward. Max was a fantastic driver. Climbing Mt. Vesuvius provided amazing views. Definitely worth the trip.”
Amalfi Coast day trip from Rome with Positano and Amalfi free time, coastal cruise (Apr to Nov), and limoncello tasting.
“Had a wonderful time the guide and the driver were really nice and helpful”
Skip the line to Pompeii with an archaeologist guide, then ride the Amalfi Coast to Positano or Sorrento on a long Rome day.
“Very bad direction given for meeting point. When checked on the link for google map it shows us to wait at McDonalds. We were there 30 mins before meeting time according to the email sent out by tour operator but it happened to be the wrong place. Tried calling and chatting with them … no reply’s or no answers over the phone. Made a very bad choice.”
See Hadrian’s Villa and Villa d’Este on a guided day trip from Rome, with coach transport, steep walking, and fountain time.
“Had a fantastic day with Marzia touring two spectacular sites near Rome. Had not heard much about these sites but Hadrian’s Villa is truly amazing and we have seen a lot of ancient sites throughout Sicily and Turkey. And Villa d’Este and it’s amazing gardens and.fountains rival anything we have seen. The tour is very well run and an easy day trip.”
Rome to Pompeii day trip with skip-the-line tickets, Sorrento limoncello tasting, and an air-conditioned coach along the Amalfi Coast.
“a fantastic day from start to finish, we all enjoyed it and I would recommend this to anyone, great service”
Pompeii skip-the-line with Sorrento time and limoncello tasting on a full-day Rome coach trip, with guided or ticket-only Pompeii options.
“The whole experience was absolutely amazing we both had a very good time and were very well looked after. There was so much to see learnt a huge amount of knowledge about Pompeii. I would recommend this to everyone!”
Small-group guided day covering the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St Peter's Square.
“Actually really enjoyed this. The guide at the Vatican was probably my favourite, he was quite funny! We saw all the main parts and he was incredibly informative without rambling. The break between the Vatican and the colosseum gave us enough time to go find somewhere for lunch and catch the metro to the next stop. Only part I didn’t like was that the second tour seemed to be less organised, we had to sign in again and get sorted into another group and then wait for late comers to come and fill the group to the max. Went on one of the hottest days of the summer so wasn’t…”
A full-day Rome trip to Civita di Bagnoregio and Orvieto, with a Tuscan farmhouse lunch and 5-wine tasting near Montepulciano.
“Francesca was a wonderful guide providing a wealth of information. Fantastic day out. Bagnoregio is not for the faint hearted. A long steep climb there and back. Elderly mother unable to manage it. Thank you for a great day”
Day trip from Rome to Pompeii and Naples with skip-the-line entry, optional guided or audio Pompeii tour, and free time in Naples.
“It was so much fun! I ended up upgrading my tour to a guided one and had a local guide! I went at the end of November and it was perfect. There were not a lot of crowds and the views were gorgeous.”
Rome to Pompeii with an archaeologist guide, then an Amalfi Coast drive and free time in Positano. Expert-led, all-day value.
“It was great! Cosimo was wonderful and explained everything so well along the way. Would for sure do another trip with him if I can!”
Pick a city, or pick a kind of day.
