Uncover the wonders of Pompeii on a full-day excursion from Rome, travelling in comfort aboard an air-conditioned coach with an expert tour leader. The itinerary includes Sorrento and Pompeii, offering a unique blend of coastal beauty and ancient history.

Start with a scenic drive along the Amalfi Coast and arrive in Sorrento for a delightful limoncello tasting at a local producer. Enjoy free time to explore Sorrento's charming alleys, artisan shops, and cafes. You'll then continue to Pompeii, where you can choose between two options:

1) Guided tour: a professional archaeologist leads you through well-preserved streets, villas, and temples

2) Self-guided audio tour: explore Pompeii at your own pace with a multilingual audio guide

Absolutely brilliant day. Our guide in Pompeii was hugely knowledgable and really brought to life the work continuing. He pitched the level of information perfectly. The trip to Sorrento was brief but beautiful. The whole trip was well organised and the information shared was fascinating.

Great day, lovely guides, so much more to see! Only down side was arriving back, no drop off to hotel, yet we’d had a pick up.

Wir wollten in der Zeit soviel wie möglich Informationen über pompeji erhalten. Leider wurde viel zuviel Zeit mit mittelmäßigem Essen vergeudet. Letztendlich haben wir,wie vorher angekündigt, in pompeji keine letzte Stunde zur eigenen Verfügung gehabt. Der Museumsbesuch und ein weiterer Gang durch den archäologischen Park konnte nicht in Anspruch genommen werden. Das war sehr schade, zu wenig pompeji für so einen grossen Zeitaufwand. Vorschlag zur Verbesserung: Lunchpakete verteilen.

Me ha faltado información de recogida el día que se hizo la visita. He tenido que escribir a la agencia local y a Musement. Aunque es cierto que me ha respondido en ambos sitios

El guía acompañante muy amable con experiencia y conocimiento y el guía local también muy bien. Se nota cuando son profesionales y les gusta su trabajo.
