What to expect
You'll start with a scenic drive to Pompeii, where you have free rein to wander the ruins. Take as long as you need inspecting homes, forums, and amphitheatres—no guided script. Mid-tour, you'll head to Sorrento for a proper lunch stop; your driver can point you toward good local options or you pick your own. Afterwards, explore Sorrento's compact town centre before the return journey, which includes stops at scenic viewpoints where the driver will suggest photo opportunities. Throughout, expect conversational commentary from your driver rather than formal narration.
Good to know
No archaeologist guide included—book one separately (€150) if detailed Pompeii history matters to you. Meals and drinks are your cost. Strollers are restricted in some Pompeii areas; caregivers must accompany pram users. Infant car seats available on request. Suitable for all fitness levels but involves walking uneven ancient streets.
