Overview

This full-day bus tour from Sorrento covers Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius with guided visits and free time for lunch and hiking. The tour begins with pickup from your accommodation or a nearby meeting point. You will travel along the Sorrento Coast, enjoying views of the Bay of Naples en route to Pompeii. At Pompeii, a licensed local guide leads a two-hour tour through the archaeological site, showing the main public buildings, the Forum, and several houses. After the guided Pompeii visit, there is free time for lunch, either on your own or following the guide’s recommendation at a nearby restaurant. Next, a 30-minute bus ride takes you to Vesuvius National Park, where you can spend about 90 minutes at an altitude of around 1000 meters. You will receive a ticket to access the crater area, where you can walk to the crater rim at your own pace. A volcanological guide is available to explain details of the crater, which is over 300 meters deep and approximately 500 meters in circumference. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and bring sunglasses, binoculars, and a camera. The tour concludes with a return transfer to Sorrento, dropping you off at your hotel or the original meeting point. The entire tour lasts about 8 hours and includes transportation by air-conditioned bus, skip-the-line entrance tickets, and English-speaking authorized guides. Lunch is not included.
