Experience a unique blend of scenic beauty and tragic history during this scenic and memorable visit to the ancient city of Pompeii, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your day begins with a drive along the Sorrento coast, past the Bay of Naples and to the remarkable ruins of Pompeii at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. The excavated ruins of Pompeii are considered one the finest representations of an Italian city at the height of the Roman Empire.
Walking through the city, which was buried in ash from the devastating volcanic eruption in 79 A.D., you’ll view first-hand what ancient life must have been like. Peering inside homes and shops at the eerie plaster casts of numerous victims caught in their final moment of life, time seems frozen.
This coastal area has thrived for centuries, due to the lure of its natural beauty, which you’ll devour while driving through the seaside resorts of Castellamare and Sorrento—with a short stop for an inlaid woodwork demonstration.
Please note: Mini-buses will be used to transfer guests from the pier to the motor coach parking lot and vice versa. The drive between Sorrento and Pompeii is approximately 1 hour in each direction. In the event of heavy highway traffic, the overall length of the tour may be extended. This tour is not recommended for guests with limited mobility or guests who utilize a wheelchair.
