Pompeii and Vesuvius from Sorrento with lunch. Climb to the crater, eat Neapolitan pizza, then tour Pompeii’s baths and forums.
“A great way to see Mt Vesuvius and Pompeii. The hike up the volcano was moderate and you need to be pretty quick to get up and back in the time they provide. Make sure you wear good footwear too. Getting to see the crater with smoke coming out was incredible! The tour at Pompeii was great, the place is huge so it was nice getting shown all the most interesting parts with a guide. The lunch was a simple pizza bust very tasty. Only downside was the bus, it was quite old a bit cramped, the aircon was also freezing for everyone on board.”

Skip lines in Pompeii and Herculaneum with expert guides and a light lunch with wine, departing from Sorrento for 8 hours.
“Both sites are spectacular and worth seeing. However, while our guide was fine, 32 people in a Pompei tour is more than double what is ideal. Too many people with head set problems - guide was hard to hear- having to wait for people. I recommend a private or semi-private experience. Also, on the way back our bus was pulled over in Piano di Sorrento and documents examined by the police. The bus was not carrying enough insurance and was immediately sent away with all the hot and exhausted passengers standing in the street trying to get back to Sorrento in rush hour. You might think the company would reach…”
