Itinerary
Day 1: Pompeii and Sorrento
Stop At: Pompeii Archaeological Park, Porta Marina (via Villa dei Misteri), 80045 Pompeii Italy
The spectral ruins of ancient Pompeii lead to one of the world’s most engrossing archaeological experiences. Much of the site’s value lies in the fact that the town wasn’t simply blown away by Vesuvius in AD 79 but buried under a layer of lapilli (burning fragments of pumice stone). The result is a remarkably well-preserved slice of ancient life, where visitors can walk down Roman streets and pry around millennial old houses, temples, shops, cafes and amphitheatres. With a private and historian guide, you will be able to visit what is considered to be Europe’s most important archaeological site.
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: Sorrento, Sorrento, Province of Naples, Campania
After the tour in Pompeii, your private driver and tour escort will take you to Sorrento, a charming town, known for its high quality hand crafted products: the inlay wood work, cameos and of course the famous lemon liquor Limoncello!
The dramatic cliff top setting overlooking the Bay of Naples makes Sorrento one of the most memorable holiday destinations in Italy. ‘La Dolce Vita’ was a term made famous by the film, however this saying was used long before and perfectly personifies how Italians view life; ‘indulgent, full of pleasures and meant to be enjoyed’.
Sorrento offers something for everyone. From fascinating museums and characterful markets to the scenic cliff top towns lining the coast.
