- Pompeii & Vesuvius Full-Day Tour From SorrentoLive guide: EnglishDuration: 8 hours
Travel back in time to a day in 79 AD when the volcanic Mount Vesuvius violently erupted, covering the everyday Roman town of Pompeii in molten ash. This full-day tour from Sorrento takes you to both sites, interrupted only to enjoy lunch.
Depart from Sorrento in the morning and enjoy the scenic ride along the Sorrentine peninsula towards Pompeii. Upon arrival, explore the remains of the baths, bakeries, arena, and brothels of the Ancient Roman city. Follow in the footsteps of its residents, some of whom are immortalized in startling plaster casts at the precise moment of their death.
Your guide will provide a historic commentary about the ruins, telling a terrible tale of the day it was destroyed, and bringing the remarkable site back to life. After lunch, head to Mount Vesuvius by coach and climb to the summit of Vesuvius from the parking area. It is a 20-minute walk, traveling through soft volcanic ash and pumice.
Vesuvius has erupted many times since 79 AD, and lava flows have scarred the sides, stripping away vegetation to leave a visible reminder of the destructive power of nature. But you will be rewarded with stunning views into the crater, where even now steam escapes from its vents. Look down too at the panoramic vistas of the Bay of Naples, before your scenic drive back to Sorrento.
