Drive Pompeii Sorrento Mozzarella Making

About this tour

An eight-hour drive linking three stops across the Bay of Naples: the volcanic ruins of Pompeii frozen in ash since 79 AD, the clifftop town of Sorrento with its coastal views and artisan quarters, and a working buffalo mozzarella dairy where you'll watch cheese made from milking through to curd. English-speaking driver collects you from Naples Centrale and returns you there, covering all transport costs. Pompeii entry fee and lunch are separate; you'll need your ID document for the archaeological site.

• Walk Pompeii's streets preserved by Vesuvius' eruption
• Watch buffalo mozzarella production from start to finish
• Explore Sorrento's old lanes and limoncello shops
• Air-conditioned car with all tolls and fuel included

What to expect

Your driver will meet you at Naples station early morning and drive you to Pompeii, where you enter independently (arrange tickets beforehand). Expect to spend 2–3 hours wandering the forum, homes and streets of the buried Roman city at your own pace. From there, it's a short drive to Sorrento, where you'll have free time to wander the pedestrian centre, browse small shops and grab lunch. The final stop is a mozzarella farm where staff walk you through the production—milking, heating, stretching and shaping the curds into fresh cheese. You'll likely taste the result. The driver then takes you back to Naples for your evening train.
