What to expect
Your driver arrives at your hotel at the agreed time and drives you southeast towards Pompeii. The archaeological site sprawls across a hillside—expect to walk among stone streets, houses, and public buildings frozen by ash nearly 2,000 years ago. Your guide handles the history; you absorb the scale and detail. After 2–3 hours, you head back north to Sorrento, perched above the Tyrrhenian Sea. Here you'll sample local limoncello, then have leisure time to drift through narrow streets, visit the municipal park, or grab an espresso overlooking the coast. No rushing.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes—Pompeii's uneven ground demands them. Bring sun protection and a hat; shade is sparse. Gratuities aren't included; tip your guide and driver if service warrants it. Public transport runs nearby if you prefer independent exploration. Prams and specialist infant seats can be arranged in advance.
