Is this tour right for you?
Choose the Sorrento departure to climb first: about 2 hours 10 minutes at the park with an alpine guide, pizza and a soft drink on the slopes, then 2 hours in Pompeii with a licensed guide, both tickets in, from €115 per person, meeting at the Achille Lauro car park.
Summer: the crater before the heat; up to 25 people; a Vico Equense option meets at that station at 8:35.
The compared option says 8:00 at the car park and the general itinerary 8:30, so follow the time on your booking; from November to March the meeting is at 9:20 and the winter option visits Pompeii first; the return to Sorrento takes about an hour. What I'd do: this in July or August.
