What to expect
You'll be collected at your Rome meeting point and driven south towards Sorrento. About halfway through the journey, your driver will pull into Pompeii, where you have two hours to explore the ruins at your own pace—bring water and comfortable shoes. The site entrance fee isn't included, so factor that into your budget. After Pompeii, you'll complete the drive to Sorrento, arriving refreshed rather than exhausted. The road winds through the Campania region; expect occasional traffic near Naples. Throughout, your air-conditioned vehicle provides respite from the heat.
Good to know
Entrance to Pompeii costs extra and isn't pre-arranged. Wear sunscreen and sturdy walking shoes for the archaeological site. If you need a private guide at Pompeii, request this when booking. Infant seats and stroller space are available; mention this at booking. The journey suits all fitness levels, though Pompeii itself involves walking uneven ground.
