What to expect
Your driver collects you from Naples or Sorrento and heads inland toward Vesuvius. At Pompeii, you'll step out for a guided walk through the preserved Roman town—enough time to see key structures and understand the eruption's impact, though not exhaustively. Expect moderate walking on uneven ancient streets; wear sturdy shoes. The minivan is comfortable and climate-controlled for the road sections either side. Total journey covers roughly 240 kilometres with the archaeological break in the middle.
Good to know
Confirm your exact departure time and flight/train details when booking. The site involves standing and walking on cobblestones; those with mobility concerns should mention it upfront. Water and shade are limited at Pompeii—bring both. WiFi is not available in the vehicle.
