Itinerary
The tour guide will show in a 2 hours walking tour the most fascinating places like the Forum, Thermal Baths, Lupanare burnt by volcanic ashes and lapilli during the eruption in 79 A.D. You have the opportunity to discover the everyday life of the Imperial age and imagine the panic of the people before the city was so disastrously buried.
It will be possible to admire during the way the suggestive medieval Castle from which the name of the famous town Castellammare di Stabia comes, the small and enchanting beaches of Vico Equense and Seiano and the typical mediterranean vegetation full of lemon and orange trees. Stop at the panoramic viewpoint in Meta di Sorrento to look up to the wonderful sight of the bay overlooking the sea.
Brief visit of the town (about one hour). The guide will show you the most renowned places walking throught the suggestives narrow streets full of stores and little workshops, as far as one of the most scenic place of Sorrento: the so-called Villa Comunale from where is possible to admire the beauties of the golf as far as Punta Campanella and Capri Island and immortalize the breathtaking scenary.

Traveler reviews
Day to remember
Pompeii has not let down. The guide, very good and very well documented. Sorrento did not know him, but very interesting to visit
Loved Pompeii but not Project Napoli Services/Viator
The Pompeii tour was fantastic and Erica was an excellent guide. However, the tour company we booked with (Napoli Project Services) were not so good! They gave us confusing instructions and then blamed us for being late for our pizza that was included as part of the Sorrento extension of the tour. The Napoli Project tour person was very rude and it also meant we didn't have time to eat our pizza and we were then abandoned by her to find a driver (who spoke extremely little English) and then dumped in Sorrento to fend for ourselves (not even given an audio guide or map!). The tour details clearly stated we would be stopping at a viewpoint and having a guided tour of Sorrento! I definitely would not recommend booking this extension! I also think the tour company are trying to do too many different tours in one which is a big part of the problem. Everyone should visit Pompeii (maybe book direct instead of through Project Napoli) though, it is amazing. Now Viator are refusing to refund any of the tour cost and have changed the description of the tour completely (this only happened yesterday after I requested a partial refund) in order to back up not providing the refund! Absolutely shocking customer service from both Project Napoli and Viator!
Great excursions by the local agency!
The travel agency was very organized and ontime and travel guide met at each location was very kind and knowledgeable. We were very satisfied.
Great tour!
Tour was educational and the guide was knowledgeable. Overall a great tour! We enjoyed our pizza in Sorrento. The staff made sure we got back to the port on time.
Quick overview of two amazing places
We were met by travel guide at the port exit and driven after three stops to Pompeii. She separated the group into preferred language in Pompeii. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and shared a lot about the sex history of Pompeii which I was surprised to learn. After our half day tour we were walked by another guide to a local pizza restaurant and pointed to where we were to meet our driver for our afternoon trip to Sorrento. The pizzas were huge and very good. Lunch included pizza and Pepsi. Our driver took us to sorrento along with another couple. They were dropped off at a hotel. We were given an audio guide when we arrived in sorrento that I believe was supposed to be given to us as we drove as much of the information described information along the route. We had one hour in Sorrento so not much time. Sorrento is beautiful. We drove back to our port in Naples for an on time departure.
