Pompeii – Vesuvius

Travel from Sorrento, along the scenic route out of the Sorrentine peninsula, and onto the motorway.  Turn off the motorway at Pompeii.  The journey is approx. 45 minutes from Sorrento to Pompeii.

On arrival at the entrance to the site the guide will wait while customers pay their entrance fees

Accompanied by the guide the clients will explore the main features of the ancient city including the baths, bakeries and theatres just to name a few.

The city of Pompeii is usually visited in the morning although this can change during high season.

After lunch in Pompeii, the coach departs for Mount Vesuvius.  The coach takes the guests to mt.1000 and if the customers wish, they walk the rest themselves.  The customers purchase their entrance tickets.  There is a man at the foot of the volcano who has walking sticks which the customers can hire for a small charge to help them walk up to the crater.

Upon reaching the crater, a local guide will walk them around the crater (we cannot guarantee this service will always be available).  Customers then have free time to walk around.

Guests meet the bus at the car park and then make the journey back to Sorrento.

This will take approx 1 hour.

Return to resort approx. 16.00/17.00

This excursion includes headsets that will be given out by the guides on the coach during the journey to Pompeii.

No head sets at Vesuvius.

These headsets are an excellent selling point
