Private Pompeii - Vesuvius - Sorrento Tour 1 Day Tour

Pompeii offers a vision of a Roman town frozen in time due to the devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

Herculaneum as Pompeii was a town buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD and which provides a complete and vivid picture of society and daily life of Roman society. Herculaneum disappeared under a pyroclastic flow of volcanic mud as Pompeii was buried under a thick layer of volcanic ash and stone.

In the morning we will travel along one of the most famous coast roads in the world that offers breathtaking scenery, for an unforgettable adventure. You will see characteristic locations like Vico Equense and Meta di Sorrento along the way until you reach Sorrento where you can enjoy shopping along the streets of downtown and try typical local dishes.

Midd-morning you will visit the Pompeii excavations that represent extraordinary scenes of the ancient Roman world thanks to their good state of preservation of the city, and which has remained practically intact after the eruption of 79 d. C.

Following the visit to the excavations, you will visit the city of Ercolano, from the archaic age and initially an indigenous settlement. The city was subsequently exposed to the Sanitarian, Greek, and Etruscan influence, and eventually to the predominant Roman presence, whose civilization is today witnessed by an ‘Outstanding state of conservation.’

In the afternoon we recommended lunch in one of the typical Vesuvian restaurants where you can taste high-quality local wines and cheeses. Then you can admire the beauty of the Vesuvius nature reserve visiting the top of Vesuvius.
