Discover the timeless wonders of Sorrento and Pompeii on an unforgettable day trip from Rome. Whether you prefer a fully guided experience, a self-paced audio-guided tour, or the freedom to explore independently, this tour offers flexible options tailored to every traveler. (Tour Duration: Approximately 12 hours.)


Your adventure begins in Rome, with the convenience of hotel pickup (if selected) or meeting at a central location. You’ll depart aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned coach, traveling through the picturesque landscapes of southern Italy, with scenic views of the Italian countryside and glimpses of the sparkling Tyrrhenian Sea.
Upon arrival in Sorrento, known for its stunning coastal vistas and vibrant streets, you’ll start with a delightful limoncello tasting at a local producer. Here, you'll uncover the secrets of this iconic Italian liqueur while soaking in the charm of this Amalfi Coast gem.
