Our tour guide for Pompeii was great! She gave us so much information and you can tell she had a passion for the site. Merica pur coordinator and guide to the site was fun and kept us all in order. I would definitely recommend this trip.

Firstly excursion was advertised as minibus and implied would be small group. Did not sign up for 48 people. Recommended optional lunch was very poor. The time at Vesuvius was insufficient to reach the top making for a rushed and stressful day out.

The tour was great and really enjoyed visiting Pompeii. As the site is so large - having a map of the site prior to arrival ( perhaps passed out on the bus) would have helped. The tour route could also be marked out on such a map, We would have spent more of our time at the site and not outside over the lunch period - perhaps offer this as an option.

You can enjoy transfers from Sorrento on a deluxe air-conditioned bus. The first stop is at the archaeological site of Pompeii. Here you will visit some of the city’s most famous spots, along with a licensed guide. You can see the Civil Forum, which was the center of all trade and administrative activities in the city. Next up is the Temple of Jupiter, with Mt Vesuvius rising in the background. The Via dell’Abbondanza is the main street of ancient Pompeii, and runs east-west through the city. Once buzzing with shops, workshops and restaurants, it was one of the hotspots of the city. You will also get a chance to visit the Forum Baths, the house of the Meander, and the Large Theater of Pompeii.

After about 2.5 hours, you will be taken to the slopes of Mount Vesuvius. From here, you can enjoy a beautiful trek to the edge of the crater, at 1280 meters. Note that the surface is uneven, and that trekking shoes would be ideal. From the top, you can catch panoramic views of Pompeii and the Gulf of Naples.

You will return to Sorrento in the afternoon to complete the trek.

What to bring

  • Be sure to wear comfortable shoes that are non slippery. The walk to the top of the volcano is a short trek, and trekking shoes are ideal.

  • Bringing outside food and drinks is allowed.

  • Photography is allowed.

Accessibility

  • The uneven surface of the tour makes the tour inaccessible by people on wheelchairs or those with back problems.

Additional note

  • The duration of the tour varies based on traffic conditions and other circumstances.
  • Your voucher will be emailed to you shortly.

  • Display the voucher on your mobile phone with a valid photo ID at the meeting point.
