Skip-the-line Pompeii tour from Sorrento with a guided walk, train included, and major sights like baths, Forum, mosaics, and casts.
“It was very fun and we enjoyed ourselves. The only downfall is the train you have to take is packed. I recommend getting to the tracks early if you want to find seats. The tour itself wasn’t too long and afterwards we stayed and explored Pompeii. This is something that everyone who enjoys runs will like, but you won’t be able to see it all in one day. The price is very fair.”

“I found it a tad expensive, but it was an amazing day. Hiking Vesuvius was amazing. Pompeii was fascinating. Having all the entrance fees included was nice (otherwise it’s €10 for Vesuvius and €15 for Pompeii). We had a lunch provided, two slices of pizza and a water bottle. The guide and driver were both excellent. Money well spent!”

“Allessia the guide was very informative and knowledgeable about Herculaneum. Express train to Herculaneum was very good.

“Honestly I think I liked Herculaneum more than Pompeii. Is that crazy? We were picked up near our accommodation and had Desiree as our guide. She gave us a little background on the towns leading to Sorrento on the way and was wonderful at the site! Herculaneum benefits from being smaller, so I felt like we saw everything and got to go into places that we only saw from the road at Pompeii. This was a great tour!”

“Access to tour site is not easy. Getting to train station not easy. Small crowded poorly marked station in Sirrento. Walk to from station and park difficult for mildly handicapped like my wife.
