This was a fantastic day. Very well organised and everything ran to time. The hike up Vesuvius (wear trainers not sandals!) was quite steep but easily manageable. Lunch was pizza and a soft drink- simple but delicious. The guide at Pompeii (Lilia) was extremely knowledgeable and tried to keep the tour away from the busiest places and under cover when it rained. The little extra surprise was fun too. Definitely recommend this tour as the perfect way to see Pompeii and Vesuvius in a single day.

Full description

Your tour kicks off at the entrance of Parcheggio Comunale Achille Lauro in Sorrento, where your tour leader will greet you. Head to your first stop at Mount Vesuvius.

Ascend to an altitude of 1000 meters, where the majestic Vesuvius crater unfolds in all its splendor, providing a sweeping panorama of the Gulf of Naples. Learn fascinating insights into the volcano's intricate history from your guide.

After your ascent, take a lunch break at a pizzeria nestled on the slopes of Vesuvius, indulging in the authentic flavors of Neapolitan pizza. Then, go to the Pompeii Archaeological Park for a trip back into ancient Roman times.

Immerse yourself in the ancient lifestyle of the Romans while exploring the archaeological site. Follow the intricate pathways of the city, frozen in time by Vesuvius' eruption in 79 AD, with your guide.

Uncover the rich history as you explore baths, bakeries, theaters, frescoes, and mosaics. Your exploration extends to the Forum and the Stabian Baths, pivotal hubs where Romans gathered to engage in discussions about politics, economic matters, and the events of their daily lives.
