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.
Stop at the panoramic viewpoint in Meta di Sorrento to look up to the wonderful sight of the bay overlooking the sea. Stop in Sorrento for a 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
Pompeii worth the day 🙏
Pompeii was absolutely worth visiting, but the overall organization of this tour was disappointing. The meeting point provided forced me to take a taxi that cost €16. Later, I discovered that the tour bus was picking up passengers at Piazza Garibaldi, right next to my hotel. This information should have been made clear from the start.Throughout the day there were several changes of guides, which made the experience feel disorganized. The guided visit of Pompeii was very rushed, and at one point some participants became separated from the group because of the pace. The Spanish-speaking guide also made several jokes and negative comments about French people that I found unnecessary and unprofessional. Visitors come to learn about Pompeii and its history, not to hear stereotypes or criticisms of other nationalities.Lunch was included, but I had to ask about it myself. The meal at the Swiss Café was below expectations, and the salad served was warm, as if it had been prepared long before. Sorrento was beautiful, but the time there was much shorter than expected and did not allow enough time to visit the waterfront area shown in the tour's promotional photos. Overall, Pompeii made the excursion worthwhile, but the organization, communication and time management need significant improvement.
Must see..just prepare for crowds
The group size is pretty large for such a crowded venue. Tour guide was experienced and knowledgeable. She was an engaging and good storyteller.
How to Approach Customer Relationship Excellence
We left at 9:30 from Garibaldi and once we arrived in Vesuvius, we were told that this was not possible. We were made to wait and wait by a view a tasting stop that pushed to the purchase and then a virtual tour Pompeii without offering us to reimburse us Visit of Pompeii afternoon as planned day very expensive when you know that it is 18€ l entrance of the Pompeii site
Great trip to Pompeii & Sorento
The trip to Pompeii was well worth it. Our guide was very informative, and she was well qualified to answer questions as we made our way. The site was so interesting. The trip to Sorrento was relaxing.
Great tour guide, bad ortanization
Martina was a great guide at Pompeii. Very knowledgeable and she shared the information in a helpful way. The rest of the trip, checking in, getting there and then leaving was a disorganized mess. We were supposed to go to Sorrento but didn’t get to because we were short on time. If they hadn’t been so disorganized we wouldn’t have been short on time. Book another company. Our other Viator tours have been very good. This one was not.
