Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Pompeii - Archaeological Area., Porta Marina Superiore (Via Villa dei Misteri) Piazza Immacolata, Piazza Porta Marina inf., 80045 Pompeii Italy
Just an hour after departing Rome by high speed train, your local guide will greet you on the platform in Naples. From here it’s a short trip in a plush private bus to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pompeii, a once-bustling port city buried for hundreds of years under a blanket of volcanic ash. A specially licensed Pompeii guide will take you on a 2-hour tour of this fascinating archaeological site. With homes and places of work all frozen in time, just as they were when Mt. Vesuvius erupted and annihilated the city, it’s an incredible window into ordinary Italian life centuries ago.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Sorrento Coast, Via Nastro Verde, 21, 80067 Sorrento NA, Italy
After a short break for coffee and souvenir shopping, the bus will take you to Sorrento, gateway to the dazzling Amalfi Coast. On the way, your local guide will fill you in on the seaside city’s history as a prime vacation spot for Roman Emperors and offer tips on how to spend your time in town. Wander the ancient alleys and check out the local shops or relax in a café and enjoy the view out over the peaceful Bay of Naples. Then rejoin your guide to sample some locally produced limoncello and learn how this sweet liqueur is produced. You’ll be back in Rome in time to enjoy the evening, enriched with the vitality of the Italian coastal life and its evolution over time.

Nicola was the best guide we could have ever imagined for our tour in Pompeii. He was born in Pompeii and has been a guide for 51 years. So knowledgeable and passionate. It was an amazing experience. Unfortunately, traffic prevented us from having much time in Sorrento, but that is something you just can't control.
Cesare was a great guide. He did an awesome job teaching us about Naples, Sorrento and Pompeii. We enjoyed ourselves and had an amazing trip! Thank You!
City Wonders guides did an amazing job! Pompeii was fascinating and Sorrento was gorgeous! Highly recommend!
A totally delightful day! Every detail was attened to and ran right on time.
We purchased this tour because it was supposed to be limited to 15 people. Instead, our tour was comprised of three separate groups and totaled over 22 people - not including the guides. One of the groups that was included in this tour was an Express Pompeii tour and after speaking to someone from that group I learned that they paid only 50 per person - whereas we paid over 200 per person. I personally feel that the company did not sell enough spaces in this tour and decided to save money by consolidated three different tours/groups into one. I do not appreciate that and feel cheated that we paid so much more than other people. Save your money and work with another company that will respect you and your money more.
Elena was a great guide. The tour was fantastic. A lot of walking on uneven roads and very hot. But it was fantastic
We had an absolutely wonderful time on this tour! Our tour guide Cesar was very engaging and made everything come to life. He was so passionate and knowledgeable about the sites. Pompeii was so incredible and Sorrento was absolutely beautiful! Cesar recommended a wonderful restaurant with incredible views. We enjoyed the limoncello tasting and Cesar directed us to a great leather factory store. The train was very quick and the tour bus was very large and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our day. This was the best way to get a chance to visit both Pompeii and Sorrento in one day from Rome.
