About this activity
Enjoy a full-day tour from Sorrento to the 2 towns that were destroyed by the dramatic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD
See original timbers and clay pots,stored as they would have been at the time of the eruption of Vesuvius. Go to the grand house and courtyard of the House of the Argus, dwarfed by the opposite hotel. Other highlights include the well-preserved frescoes and mosaics of the public baths, and a house of carbonized furniture with an intact marital bed. It’s believed that many of the town’s inhabitants managed to flee just in time.
Admire the frescoed floor of the House of Neptune, including portraits of the owners and their garden flowers and vegetables immortalized in dazzling mosaics. Discover shops and a city gymnasium, all brought to life by the experienced guides.
Drive to Pompeii, where your guide will lead you to the main features of the ancient city, including the public baths, city bakeries, and even a brothel.
The Roman city remains one the most stunning archaeological sites on the Italian peninsula, and one of the most visited ruins in the world. Experience it much as it existed more than 2,000 years ago, as you wander through perfect stone-paved streets, houses, temples, and the Forum.

Very knowledgeable guide.Excellent driver.Very comfortable coach.Only let down was restaurant poor food and very poor service.
Excellent guide and great day for this tour. We enjoyed visiting both locations so I'd recommend it highly. After seeing Herculaneum our bus had a malfunction on the freeway while driving to Pompeii. Luckily another bus was brought in so there wasn't much down time. The one thing preventing this from being a five star is the wasted time before and after the tour. We were told to meet at a location in Sorrento but after we boarded the bus, it took another 45 minutes to pick up other guests at five different hotels which were a lot closer than we had to travel. Then after the tour it was another waste of time while they dropped off everybody except the 10 of us who started at the location to begin with. They actually could have dropped us closer to our hotel also but didn't. Wasn't happy about that.
