Pompeii was an ancient Roman city near modern Naples, Italy and provides outstanding information on the art, customs, trades and everyday life of the past. Our tour experts can tailor your tour to include official guides of one of the world’s most engrossing archaeological experiences. Students can also visit Herculaneum; the sister-site of Pompeii. Herculaneum was buried in molten lava from Mount Vesuvius back in AD 79, instead of the ash that covered Pompeii. This protected site for centuries, meaning priceless details, ranging from buildings to artworks, can still be seen today.
Pompeii Italy Education School Trips highlights include:
- Guided tour of Pompeii
- Mount Vesuvius
- Amalfi Coast (Amalfi to Positano)
- Guided tour of Herculaneum
- Naples Science Museum (inc. planetarium)
Geography students can experience the sights of Mount Vesuvius, the only active Volcano in mainland Europe. Although the last eruption was in 1944, it still represents a great danger to the cities that surround it, especially the busy metropolis of Naples.

A visit to Naples including the Citta della Scienza, the first Italian interactive science museum can be organised for your students.
