Pompeii and Sorrento, beyond Rome
A full small-group day for travellers with enough time to leave the city: archaeological context in Pompeii, a coastal drive and lunch in Sorrento.

The experience
A long day out of Rome, with Pompeii, the Sorrento coast and the transport already shaped.
This is a full day for guests prepared to leave Rome early and return in the evening. A small-group minivan takes the group south for a guided Pompeii visit, then continues toward Sorrento for lunch and coastal time before returning to Rome.
The practical appeal is that the road journey, Pompeii entry and local guiding are combined rather than left to a series of separate train, transfer and ticket decisions. It is deliberately a long day, best chosen when Rome has enough remaining time around it.
Breakfast on arrival in Pompeii is included. An authentic Sorrento lunch is included only when the relevant booking option is selected, so the final option should be checked before paying.
