Rome to Naples - Pompeii
The train carries you south to Naples, a city that's been shaped by centuries of different rulers. Your guide walks the group through the historic center and Spanish Quarter, then you'll taste authentic Neapolitan pizza (it's literally where pizza was invented).

You'll see beautifully preserved villas, temples, theaters, and markets that show how Romans actually lived 2,000 years ago.
