Rome To Pompeii: The Ultimate Day Trip Adventure! 

Excellent, We were there in March and it was amazing. The food at Suisse was great, the entire atmosphere was serene and somewhat eerie. I did enjoy getting a class picture with the ruins and Vesuvius in the background. Your video makes me feel like I'm back there again. This will be great for my students who weren't able to make the trip. We're in Ohio.

@@AureliasMyth1 I think there's a tour where you can climb Mount Vesuvius. Don't know the details of this though.

@@AureliasMyth1 Thanks for watching and for sharing your experience. It is an amazing visit - I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Hello Mirko!! Thanks so much for remembering me. I had a wonderful time on that tour and you were one of the reasons. You really brought the place to life for us. I realize how hard it can be to try to share such a vast place with so much to see, but you helped us see the highlights and also allowed us to imagine what life must have been like for the Pompeiians long ago. Thank you again for a brilliant tour and thanks for watching the video!

That was also one of my favorite parts of the visit!!

Yes, it really is amazing - and as brutal as that eruption was, it also preserved so much of the city which is why we can still see so much of it today.

@@Romewise Shure! A glaring contradiction. For some it was a tragedy. For us this is an opportunity to their brilliant the past. Such a life!

Thanks, Peter! Wow that's amazing that you had lunch where we did. I was worried it would be touristy but I thought it was quite a nice lunch and the pizza was excellent! Yes, Herculaneum is another must, of course! I think it's amazing you can see all this from Rome. It's one thing to visit from Naples or Sorrento, but it's great that you can even go as a day trip to Rome, and it was not even that tiring! Thanks as always for your comments!

Does the food stops have Dieter options e.g.gluten free (allergy)

@@faehse47 Hi I am sure if you contact the Ristorante Suisse which is outside the entrance of Pompeii will answer all you dietary questions, the food was really good when we ate there, hope this helps.

@@faehse47 I am not sure, however, when you book, I suggest letting the tour company know right away of any food intolerances or restrictions. When we got on the bus at 7:30, almost first thing, our tour leader told us what was on the menu and had us choose so that the restaurant would be prepared. So first, I'd check with the tour company either before you book or when you book. Second, when you order your food on the bus, you have another chance to let them know about any restrictions.

I agree, Walks of Italy is one of my favorite tour companies. They consistently offer excellent small group tours. Here is the one from Rome to Naples with Amalfi coast drive that you mention, if anyone wants to check it out: tinyurl.com/rome-pompeii

Thanks for your compliments! I am grateful! Yes, it's one of those sites you need to visit many times and even then, it's hard to "see it all"!

Glad you enjoyed it!

First of all, thank you so much for your very kind comments. I'm glad you enjoy my content and find it helpful. Second of all, I think ending up in Positano is not such a bad thing :D. Positano is also beautiful. There is so much to see, and it's hard to "see it all", even when you live here, and I always say that anything you do see will be wonderful I'm happy to hear you had such an enjoyable trip! Thanks again!

@@Romewise Positano was great we were not disappointed. The time spent there was a little short but it is a long trip for one day. I look forward to more content and more inside information. I am glad that you have such a passion for doing it.

@@Danny-hm6vk Yes, even a short visit to Positano can give you a sense of how beautiful it is. Thanks for letting me know you enjoy my content! I've got lots more coming to the channel!

Oh I think you would love Pompeii! It's truly an amazing, fascinating site. But it's also huge and I think one would need multiple visits there to see it all! I'll take any excuse to eat pizza! Glad you enjoyed the video - thanks as always!!

La pizza non si mangia per il formaggio fuso quello lo puoi fare in altri momenti e con altri cubi. La pizza, la mangi proprio perché è la PIZZA 🍕

Yes, that's true! But I was going to Pompeii with a tour and wanted to make the video anyway. I'll try to make another one where I show how to go on your own. Thank you for your comments and suggestions!

Thank you so much! All of these day trips from Rome to this region involve a long day. So if that's ok with you, then yes, it's fine. Also, to visit Positano and Amalfi from Rome as a day trip means you won't see a lot, but like in this video, you will see something! In the description of this video, I link to a tour that includes Naples and Amalfi: gyg.me/NCU3gm2R. Here is another tour that includes Amalfi and Positano: gyg.me/rJsiTIeR. Enjoy!

That's great - you will love it! I tipped our Pompeii guide 10€ and I paid the bus driver + tour leader 15€. We really enjoyed all the staff, including the driver (who didn't say much but we felt in good hands - it was a very smooth ride!)

Thank you 🙏 I appreciate your help! Now going back to watch more of your videos!

@@mjkaplow My pleasure, I hope you enjoy the Pompeii trip, and I hope you enjoy my other content!

Yes, this is a popular way to go, and yes you will find licensed tour guides outside the ruins and can hire one. In very high season, you may have a harder time finding a guide but it should be doable.

Last week, April 6, 2024.

The beautiful mosaic that shows Alexander the Great in battle was once in the House of the Faun in Pompeii. It, along with many mosaics, frescoes, sculptures and other art, is now housed in the National Archeological Museum of Naples, one of my favorite museums in the world and very much worth a visit! mann-napoli.it/en/home-english/ Unfortunately, the mosaic has been removed from the wall and replaced with a facsimile while the original undergoes a long restoration. They do not yet have a date for when this work will be completed. You can learn about the restoration here: mann-napoli.it/en/the-restoration-of-the-mosaic-of-alexander/

@@Romewise That's disappointing. That mosaic was really good too. So what happed to the House of Faun? Is it still open to the public? What in this house now? I feel like that's the reason why people go in this house.

@@Romewise Btw, I'm surprised you didn't video the Colosseum and the house where the gladiators train. Maybe make your videos longer. I love watching your vidoes, they are very informative.

@@Romewise I remember when I came to Pompeii, it was so dusty. I had to cover my eyes numerous times when I was in the Forum. I also ate lunch inside Pompeii which was so expensive. I should've ate outside but my ticket won't allow me to get back in.

@@Romewise I was in Pompeii for about 3-4 hours and then I drove to Amalfi Coast. What a ride that was!! I wished I stayed in Amalfi Coast for a night. I wanted to go up the monastery but I didn't have enough time.

Yes, there is now a direct train service that goes once a week on Sundays. You can check train schedules and pricing here: prf.hn/l/p3Wp128

@@Romewise Thanks might do that

After Pompeii, I went to Amalfi Coast

Sounds like a lovely trip!

@@Romewise it was. The lanes are so narrow but the view is awesome. I'm surprised no one had an accident during the time I was there because some cars were going so fast.
