From Rome: Sorrento & Pompeii Guided Tour
This full-day guided tour takes you from Rome's city centre to two of southern Italy's most compelling destinations.

The 12-hour tour covers the highlights of both locations with comfortable coach transport and skip-the-line entry to Pompeii. Your expert guide shares the dramatic story of Mount Vesuvius's eruption in 79 AD and how it froze an entire Roman city in time. In Sorrento, you'll sample the region's famous lemon liqueur whilst taking in coastal views.
