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
Disaster tour to Sorrento
Pompeii tour was organized well but Sorrento tour was a joke. No tour guide just a speaker device which was not working. Some one told us 20 minutes go and 20 minutes back but end up with 2.5 hours go and 2.5 hours back. Just gave us one hour to walk around. We took 15 minutes for toilet and walked one street and back to meeting place because we worry we could not find way back. It is a DISASTER đ€đ€đ€
Good length for Pisa and...
Good length for Pisa and great informational tour. Too short for Sorrento. Not enough time to see everything there. It may be better to start at 9 am to have 1 more hour for Sorrento.
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.
