Viator listing. Updated September 19, 2026.

Is this tour right for you?

Choose Car for a private day for up to two travelers. The price is per vehicle. Pickup at your Naples accommodation and a flexible itinerary are the reasons to choose it.

Your driver takes you to Positano for an hour and Sorrento for 90 minutes. Pompeii gets 2 hours on your own. Return transport, bottled water and limoncello tasting are included; entry and lunch cost extra.

A Pompeii guide or audio guide costs extra and needs arranging. Route changes must keep the same overall duration. Settle the pickup and return times before booking around a cruise.

What I'd do: I'd book Car for two and arrange a Pompeii guide before paying.

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.
