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.

Customer Service Died In Pompeii
Paul_C
, Oct 2021
I had THREE conversations with the company telling them that I had 2 friends from Rome who wanted to join me. I told the company that I would buy the tickets but they did not need the bus to Pompeii because they were going to continue home to Rome when we were done. Once we got to Pompeii, the tour guide (Francesca) was rude and very uncooperative. I ended up leaving the tour and walking alone with my friends. The only thing I got out of this tour is a round trip to Sorrento. Never again.

Dear Sir you asked for your friends the day before and we replied that you could add them to the tour paying the price on spot. You never confirmed it. Our guide in Pompeii has to manage daily a large group and she is unable to arrange for specific cases on real time while she is working, maybe you had to confirm your request to our office the day before at least. My best regards

Exceptional tour!

We were delayed in arriving because the last couple were late. Upon our arrival, there was a great deal of confusion in separating the groups by language. Once that was settled, the tour guide was excellent! He provided so much historical information as well as being very conversant about Pompeii! Fantastic tour!

Tour very well organized, pick up slightly early, was on road very quickly, into site within 15 minutes of arrival. Our tour guide, super stylish Francesca, was funny, very knowledgeable, highly entertaining. I thought tour was perfect length to get appreciation of Pompeii. Some people might want a few more hours on site, but for us this half day trip was ideal.

Quick and fun tour of Pompeii

Francesca was extremely knowledgeable, funny, and entertaining and maximized our 2-hour tour of Pompeii. We started and ended late because of some of those in our group, so that wasn’t ideal, but we understand that the company does the best job possible to accommodate all guests and visitors. Would recommend!

This trip was very disorganized, the tour coordinator forgot about us. He told us 15 minutes we waited an hour to leave. The tour guide was inaudible.

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.
