Additional Information

In the year 62 A.D., the region around Vesuvius was struck by a severe earthquake. Nearly 17 years later, on the 24th of August, 79 A.D., an unpredicted eruption from Vesuvius covered Pompeii with ash and lapillus. It wasn’t until the 16th century that the submerged city was discovered, but the exploration didn’t start until 1748 under the reign of Charles III of Bourbon, the then King of Naples. Our tour guide will help bring the history of this ancient vacation spot back to life. The tour will proceed to Sorrento, a city beautifully located on the sea and offering breathtaking views of the Bay of Naples. Sorrento, renowned for its lemon and olive groves, is a highly sought-after destination in Italy.

Best Full Day Tour of Pompei and Sorrento! - Rossana and Luigi took the utmost care of our family of five from our pickup in Rome, down to an awesome morning in Pompei and then a beautiful lunch and shopping and walking excursion in Sorrento. Luigi was a fantastic driver. Rossana was a wealth of knowledge and was very informative. Definitely worth spending a full day with the both of them.

Captivating! - Enjoyed the attention we were given. Private tour as promised. Mariella was our local guide. She provided great insight into all that we saw and experienced at the Colesseum, Palatine Hill, the forum, and Constantine’s Arch.
