The eruption of the volcano in 79 AD destroyed and buried Pompeii but, after the catastrophe, its ruins were
found almost perfectly preserved under layers of volcanic ash. In fact, thousands of years later, you can still
explore the ghostly streets and enter inside houses, public buildings and restaurants. During the tour, together
with our licensed guides, you will get a vivid picture of life in the last days before the eruption. Departure from
Sorrento, approximately 8:00 am, direction Pompeii archaeological excavations, guided tour of approximately 2 hours and return to Sorrento.
● Half-day tour to Pompeii from Sorrento
● Visit the excavated ruins of an ancient city buried by volcanic ash
● Learn the history of Pompeii and its discovery from a licensed guide
● See the well-preserved remnants of homes, baths, bakeries, frescoes, and more ● Hear about the fateful eruption of Mt. Vesuvius that destroyed the city
●Includes round-trip transportation by bus

We booked this trip with our two young kids (3 years, 9 months) because it left early before getting too hot & included round trip transfers from Sorrento. It was well-organized and we were grateful for the good humor of the guide and the tour operator (Giovanna?) for looking after our pram while we carried our kids through the ruins.
We had some issues getting to the meetup point (trains on strike - not their fault) and that it moved a lot faster than we anticipated (hard to keep up with the guide) we felt it was good value.
If you want a quick taste of Pompeii and easy transfer from Sorrento this is your tour. If you want to wander the ruins in detail or visit the gift shops before leaving, it’s probably not for you.

Pompeii is so large and much of it is still being excavated. The guide took us through a large section of it and explained and showed us how the people of the time lived. I would highly recommend this tour.

The trip to Pompeii was well organised from the pick up from our hotel and information given on route to Pompeii by the guide on the bus.
The guide who met us at Pompeii was very knowledgeable, friendly and the group size was just large enough to enjoy the experience

An excellent tour in all aspects. From a friendly meeting in the centre of Sorrento on a comfortable coach from Paula and the sever Antonio to an amazing guide there at Pompei. Lives up to our expectations and more - would recommend for sure .
