Itinerary
Pick up at any port in Campania, client's hotel or other meeting locations. Transfer to Positano and a walk downtown.
Trasfer to Sorrento and walking through alleys of the old town and the main road called Corso Italia. As an alternative, instead of walking around the clients can chose to have a nice quick lunch in a restaurant by the sea. After lunch transfer to Pompeii.
Pass by: Sitting astride the gorge that once divided cliff-clinging Sorrento in two, you’ll find Piazza Tasso, the central living room of the town
Named after Sorrento's patron saint, the town's oldest church barely looks like a church at all from the outside. The interior paints a more ecclesial picture with its Roman artefacts, dark medieval paintings, gilded ceiling, and the oddity of two whale ribs in the lobby by the front door.
Trasfer to Pompeii and enter from main entrance called Porta Marina.
Basilica was an open portico that gave shelter to merchants and other activities
In the granary you will see marble tables and baths for fountains that adorned the entrances of houses and some casts of victims of the eruption as well as that of a dog and a tree.
Have a look of the ancient main square of Pompeii
These occupy a vast area between the Brothel lane, the Holconius crossroads and the Via Stabiana. They represent the oldest thermal complex in the city
Pass by: Walk through the main street of Pompeii
Visit the most famous brothel in the ruined Roman city of Pompeii
The house of Menander is one of the richest and most magnificent houses in ancient Pompeii in terms of architecture, decoration and contents
The house of Faun was one of the largest and most impressive private residences in Pompeii
Pass by: Have a look of the so called Teatro Piccolo of Pompeii
Visit the most important Theater in Pompeii. Drop off at the meeting point or other place to be agreed with the customers.

Traveler reviews
Informative, exciting and entertaining
The three-hour tour with our guide Diana was incredibly entertaining. We learned a lot about life in Pompeii before the volcanic eruption
Great Day In Naples & Pompeii
Francesco Calenda was a fantastic driver. He got us everywhere we wanted to go. He knew the best restaurant and how to avoid traffic. We would definitely recommend Francesco and Askos Tours!!
Lovely tour of the Amalfi Coast with Postino, Sorrento and Pompei
We had an excellent tour with Giovanni. We went to Postino, Sorrento and Pompei. Giovanni was very punctual and told us about the sights. He was so nice and kind to my children and even gave them little presents at the end of the tour and gave me some spagetti to take home.
Wonderful day trip to Sorrento, Pompeii and Positano
I’m so glad we did the day tour with Askos, booked from Viator. It was our first time in Naples. Giovanni was our driver/guide for the whole day. He was really sweet, nice and friendly, and super communicative before, during and after the tour. He was extremely patient with us traveling with 2 kids (including an infant). He picked us up at the Naples Port at 8am. We did the Pompeii ruins, stopped for lunch, drove to Sorrento, where we shopped and then drove to Positano and back to Naples by around 4-5pm. Since we had the baby, he even dropped us at our hotel in Naples. I highly recommend Askos Tours and Giovanni for this tour!!
Gorgeous views & Incredible Service
Our tour highlighted Positano, Sorrento, and Pompeii and we were blown away by the history, art, architecture, and culture of the area. Even more than that, we LOVED our experience with Askos Tours! Our driver Giovanni was absolutely wonderful, communicated well, and made our trip more than we hoped for. He made our three small children so happy with little kindnesses and was just absolutely a 10/10 for driving, answering questions, and going above and beyond all day for us!
