Tour description
Our Sorrento to Pompeii and Herculaneum Taxi Tour is a fantastic way to explore two of the most famous archaeological sites in Italy, with the comfort of a private vehicle and an English-speaking driver to look after you throughout the day. Whether you're in a luxury sedan or minivan, depending on the number of passengers, you'll enjoy a smooth and scenic journey from your accommodation in Sorrento.
The tour begins with a pick-up from your accommodation in Sorrento, and your driver will take you on a scenic drive to the ancient city of Pompeii. Once you arrive, you’ll have two hours to explore the vast and fascinating archaeological site. You can wander through the preserved streets, visiting the ruins of homes, temples, and baths, and imagining life as it was before the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. While a tour guide is optional, you’ll have the flexibility to explore on your own at your own pace, discovering Pompeii’s most iconic sights.
After your time in Pompeii, your driver will take you to Herculaneum, another ancient city that was destroyed by the eruption. This site is much smaller and more compact than Pompeii, but it is equally impressive in its preservation. You’ll have another two hours to explore the ruins, where you can see ancient homes, public buildings, and artwork preserved under layers of volcanic ash. Again, a tour guide is optional, so you can choose to explore the site on your own or with the help of a guide.
Once you’ve fully explored both sites, your driver will take you back to your accommodation in Sorrento, concluding your day of history and exploration. This private taxi tour is the ideal way to experience the rich history of Pompeii and Herculaneum, with a comfortable and personalized experience from start to finish.
