What to expect
You'll be collected from your Sorrento hotel or transport station and driven toward Rome with a substantial detour to Pompeii. The driver will escort your group to the archaeological site where a specialist guide takes over for two hours, walking you through the remarkably preserved Roman streets, domestic quarters, and public spaces buried by Vesuvius in 79 AD. Expect to be on your feet navigating uneven ancient stonework; bring water and sun protection. After Pompeii, you'll continue to Rome or return to Sorrento depending on your booking direction.
Good to know
Book Pompeii tickets separately or arrange pre-purchase through the operator to avoid delays at the gate. The five hours covers driving and the guided section only; factor in extra time for crowds at the site itself. Child car seats must be requested when booking. Tipping the driver and guide is not included.
