Everything about this tour was amazing!
Everything about this tour was amazing! Fantastic 3-course lunch with beverage was included. Our guide Carmella was so knowledgeable, upbeat and patient and the driver was concerned with safety. It’s a little hairy driving up/down Mt Vesuvius. Be ready for a full day of walking.

Your comments are very important for us to improve our services and we are glad you had a lovely experience with us and we met your travelling expectations.

Highly Recommended
This tour was amazing! Our tour guide Antonito was very friendly and informative, and kept all of the information engaging! Our bus driver, Vincenzo, was also amazing and got us to each stop of the tour with no problems even when we were in high-traffic parts of the cities. The Pompeii tour and the Vesuvius hike were incredible, I would recommend comfortable walking shoes for both and be sure to take your time walking up and down Vesuvius as some of the terrain/gravel can be slippery. The top of the volcano is worth it though!!
Response from the operator: Dear Victoria, Many thanks you for your very positive feedback and the time you dedicated to write it. Your comments are really crucial and valuable for us as give us the chance to improve our services and go beyond the miles for our valued Guests. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the time spent during this activity, that our guide met your expectations and needs and that you felt safe all the time with our driver. Many thanks as well for your recommendations on how to wear for the hiking, really helpful indeed! We hope to be your choice for your future holiday destinations. Kind regards, Customer Service team

Brilliant Pompei and Vesuvius day tour
What a fantastic day out we had with our lovely guide Tony and our driver Gigi. From the start of the day Tony was helpful, funny always letting you know what was up next. The tour of Pompei was great, we were shown all the best bits with great info lasted 2 hours and it was just the right amount of time. The lunch in the restaurant was amazing. Lovely starter of bruchetta with tomatoes and garlic, followed by gorgeous pasta with a lovely sauce and then a small icecream dessert also all came with a drink of your choice, soft or alcohol. After lunch we headed to Vesuvius. On the way Tony gave us loads if info which passed the time nicely and our driver Gigi was excellent as the drive up is hairy to say the least. Once there, If you wished you could climb to the top, which we did. This is NOT for the faint hearted it is one hell of a climb. If you are not able there are lower lovely viewing points. After you have time to grab souvenirs and then it's time to head back. It really was an excellent experience and cracking day out cant recommend enough.
Response from the operator: Dear Julie, Many thanks for your very positive feedback and the time you dedicated to write it. Your comments are really crucial and valuable for us as give us the chance to improve our services and go beyond the miles for our valued Guests.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius SELECT tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius SELECT tour cost?
+
Prices start at $81 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sorrento usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius SELECT tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sorrento is not rushed.
Is Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius SELECT tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Sorrento, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius SELECT tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius SELECT tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius SELECT tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sorrento can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sorrento and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius SELECT tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sorrento within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sorrento?
+
On Outty we rank every Sorrento experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pizza School with Wine and Limoncello Tasting in a Local Farm, Private Amalfi Coast Day Tour from Sorrento or Naples, Sorrento Farm and Food Experience including Olive Oil, Limoncello, Wine tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sorrento?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sorrento?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
