Viator listing. Updated September 19, 2026.

Is this tour right for you?

Book Pompeii & Sorrento in English or Spanish. You get a 2-hour Pompeii walk, followed by free time in Sorrento. The cheaper Positano & Sorrento options leave Pompeii out entirely.

Your coach leaves Rome from Piazza del Popolo. Entry and transport are included with the limoncello tasting. Lunch costs extra; Pompeii & Sorrento doesn't visit Positano.

Allow 12 hours, with up to 50 people traveling together. The included Pompeii ticket type isn't named. Check Villa of the Mysteries access before booking if it's part of your plan.

What I'd do: I'd choose Pompeii & Sorrento - English and leave time to buy lunch during the Sorrento stop.

Chiara VitaleWrites 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. I haven't taken this trip. Report a correction.
