Begin your half-day trip with pickup from your hotel or cruise port in Sorrento. Meet your guide and travel to the massive archaeological site of Pompeii, where Mt. Vesuvius spewed tons of volcanic ash in AD 79, burying the prosperous city along with 20,000 of its residents.

Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, hop out of your coach and explore the preserved ruins 2,000 years after the eruption. Follow your guide past preserve locations like the Forum, Thermal Baths, and the famous Lupanare brothel. As you go, hear the history behind the ancient city and each of the surviving locations.

Afterward, enjoy time to spend at your leisure. Purchase lunch, shop or people-watch before making the return trip back to Sorrento.

  • "If a really good tour of Pompeii is required, based on my other experiences in Italy, the full day private tour might well be worth the extra money." See review

Great half day tour
Yaz90
, Oct 2020
The transport collected us on time from the hotel and the driver was very professional. We arrived at Pompeii in good time and as a larger group, we were given a radio and earpiece to listen to the tour guide through. The tour guide was great and I could hear her clearly throughout. Due to covid regulations we were unable to go into the smaller buildings but it was still a wonderful experience nevertheless. The “half day” allowed plenty of time to have a good look around, any more time and we may have found it a bit overwhelming. Would definitely recommend.

A lot of the view seem to be guide dependent, but our guide was fantastic! Informative, funny, and very accommodating. She gave us lots of notice and information about snacks, bathroom, meeting places, and the general gameplan. The tour was very cool - lots of good information, and we definitely experienced Pompeii in a more informed and organized way than if we had gone in blindly. You are picked up in a smaller passenger van, depending on where your hotel is, and then meet up with a large group. At first, I was concerned that the group would be too large, but with the earset piece, it was easy to listen to everything, while stopping and lingering for a few moments at personal points of interest.

Disappointed
Maureen S
, Nov 2019
Many issues with this tour- supposedly in English but leader had heavy accent making it hard to hear her, it was hard to follow her as the umbrella was at the level of her head, the audio reception was poor, the leader failed to give heads up on leaving ( ie we are leaving in 2 minutes), there was no toilet break, or even how to access the toilets and catch up. The tour group was too large for the area and the number of tours. The leader did not have the skill for this size of group. With her choice of clothing, was she really a professional group leader!

The pickup and drop off was great. The tour guide knew her stuff and was very personable. The tour group was too large for navigating the old narrow streets. Time to explore on our own was also nice.

The tour was great. We got picked up and dropped off from our hotel, had an air conditioned van to Pompeii, and a great tour. The tour itself lasted about 2 hours and we saw all of the highlights of the ancient city. We had about a half hour for food and shopping at the end before heading back to the hotel. Great way to see the city!

Visit to Pompeii
babakkhamsehpour
, Oct 2019
My wife and I had a wonderful visit to the Pompeii site. We were picked up in a mini bus from our hotel and returned back. The return travel to the site lasted about 2.5 hrs. We spent like 2-2.5 hrs at the site led by a knowledgeable tour guide. The only criticism we had was the lack of courtesy by the fellow who rounded us up at the end of the tour to take us to the driver waiting nearby ... we would have liked to use the toilet and buy some snack but he said no with an impatient attitude! That kind of behavior “ruined” the whole thing at the time.
