Is this tour right for you?

We list it as one of our two Sorrento trips with entry, a guide and return transport; this one lists a group cap of 20 and two starts a day, 10:00 and 13:00. You may remain inside after the 2-hour walk.

The inclusions name an air-conditioned minibus or minivan for the return trip. The meeting note gives train boarding instructions at Sorrento's Circumvesuviana station, with tickets collected at the Tempio Travel office there. Confirm the transport, boarding point and return arrangements before paying.

Up to 20 people; infant, child and youth fares to 17. The operator can cancel for too few bookings, with a refund. Lunch isn't mentioned.

What I'd do: the 10:00, after asking about the train by message.

Chiara Vitale Writes pompeii.day

I grew up in Castellammare di Stabia, under the volcano, and spent six seasons on hotel front desks in Sorrento. Which ticket, which train, which gate, how many hours: I've answered these more times than I can count.

Now I live in Pompei, ten minutes on foot from the Amphitheatre gate, and I go into the site most weeks on a MyPompeii card. For this page I compared the options and booking terms with the park's rules. Report a correction.
