Tour description
Our Sorrento to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius Taxi Tour offers an incredible opportunity to explore two of the most iconic attractions in the region, with a private and luxurious experience. Whether you're traveling in a luxury sedan or minivan, depending on the number of passengers, you'll be looked after by an English-speaking driver throughout the day.
The tour begins with a convenient pick-up from your accommodation in Sorrento, after which 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 archaeological site on your own. Pompeii, preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, offers a fascinating glimpse into ancient Roman life. You can walk along the ancient streets, visit homes, baths, and temples, and marvel at the preserved frescoes and mosaics. While a tour guide is optional, you can explore at your own pace to discover the highlights of this vast historical site.
After your time in Pompeii, you’ll stop for lunch, where you can enjoy a break and savor some local cuisine before heading to the next adventure.
The next part of the tour takes you to Mount Vesuvius. Your driver will take you to the point where a bus will take you up to 1,000 meters on the mountain. From there, you’ll continue on foot to the summit, where you’ll enjoy stunning views of the Gulf of Naples and the surrounding area. Once at the top, a guide will walk you around the crater and provide fascinating insights into the history and geology of the volcano.
Afterward, you'll have free time to take in the panoramic views from the top, snap some photos, or simply relax while enjoying the breathtaking scenery of the mountain and the Gulf of Naples below.
Finally, your driver will take you back to your accommodation in Sorrento, concluding your incredible day of exploration. This taxi tour is a perfect combination of history, adventure, and scenic beauty, offering a comfortable and customized experience from start to finish.
