With the Pompeii & Sorrento Day Trip: From Rome, you are covering one of the most stunning historical sites in the world, and also one of the most beautiful parts of Italy. Our driver will collect you from Rome, and after a ride down the "Highway of the Sun", you will reach Pompeii. This is where you will meet your expert local guide who will walk you through the remarkably preserved remains of this Ancient metropolis.
Pompeii
This rare and beautiful archeological site just south of Naples that was covered or ‘flash frozen’ by 13 – 20 feet (4-6 meters) of ash and pumice by the catastrophic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79AD, often times referred to as Julius Caesar’s revenge! Our guide will wake this dormant city up for you, and the incredible remains of a city devoured by one of the most peculiar natural disasters ever, will come alive.
Sorrento
After you are finished exploring Pompeii, still gathering your impressions on this lost city, our driver will collect you and bring you down the winding roads of the beautiful Italian coast, all the way down to Sorrento. You will have time to leisurely explore the center of this charming coastal gem, have a typical local lunch and enjoy a coffee, gelato or a limoncello in some of it’s historical restaurant and bar venues. You don't know what limoncello is? Well in that case, you couldn't have picked a better destination to visit on this day!
Door-To-Door Service
With this day trip, our driver will collect you from your accommodation in Rome, and bring you back at the end of the day. They will stay with you throughout the day, bringing you from location to location, thus making this highly unlikely day possible for you!
How many times in your life will you be able to say that you walked through an almost perfectly preserved ancient city that was destroyed by a disastrous volcano eruption? We are guessing not too many, that’s why we offer this awesome experience of a lifetime.

Amazing Experience
What a glorious experience! Our wonderful driver, Daniele picked us up at 7am and from then on it was one big visual feast. Sasha, our guide in Pompeii, was an absolute wealth of information, and brought to life an ancient 2000 year old city. We couldn’t have had a better experience, one that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Italy! We capped the day with a couple hours in beautiful Sorrento, shopping and catching in the gorgeous scenery, and after a late lunch, we were driven back to Rome and our hotel. A long and tiring day, but we’ll worth the visit!!! Highly recommended!!!!

This tour was excellent. Very simple and my family loved having a guide to ourselves. We explored Pompeii and Sorrento and our driver and guide were fantastic. Their team was very helpful when we were trying to decide what to book. The Roman Guy has fantastic tours and fantastic customer service!
