Your driver handles transport; you handle the discovery.

What to expect
You'll spend most of the day on your feet exploring Pompeii's archaeological site—comfortable shoes are essential. A guide or driver will walk you through residential areas, forums, and kitchens, pointing out how daily life unfolded. Afterwards, you'll sit down to regional food and wine that echoes what residents ate before 79 AD; this isn't just lunch, it's context for understanding the city. Sorrento appears as a stop, likely for views or a brief wander. The tour moves at a measured pace, mixing physical exploration with seated tasting.
Good to know
Pompeii admission (€16) and the lunch with wine tasting (€30) are not included in the base price. The vehicle is air-conditioned and wheelchair accessible; prams and specialised infant seats are available. Bring water, sunscreen, and wear sturdy footwear—the archaeological site is uneven and partly exposed.
