Our Dream Come True!
Our Day was absolutely magical thanks to our driver and guide Dino! He made us feel like royalty. Being early so he could be sure he was there on time! Morning treats and lots of laughs and singing, as we drove. The special Equestrian experience was awesome and Alessandra was a super delight explaining the growing of the grapes as we rode horses thru the vineyard. Wine tasting, the staff treated us like queens from the tour of the vineyards with the best driver ever, to the Sommelier, to the wonderful vinos tasted, to each of the servers of the tastiest lunch! Annalisa our special private tour guide of Pompeii made Pompeii come alive for us! Dino ended our tour with an extra very special stop at a ceramic factory with the owner treating us with fresh lemonade n treats in the garden on the beautiful tables they create. Dino made our tour a dream come true! We can not thank Dino enough!

Wine tasting and history come to life.
First our driver was wonderful guide for the day. The horseback ride through the vineyards was beautiful with views of the vineyard, sea, and mt Vesuvious. Our lunch and wine tasting was delicious. The tour of Pompeii was a highlight of our visit to Europe. Would definitely recommend this provider.
Response from the operator: WOW, dear Fred, thank you! Thanks for your kind words, we're honored to be the highlight of your visit to Europe! Hope to see you again, we'll be waiting for you! Ciao!

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Pompeii, Horse Riding & Lunch Tour w/ Pick up included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does Private Pompeii, Horse Riding & Lunch Tour w/ Pick up included cost?
+
Prices start at $54 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 Private Pompeii, Horse Riding & Lunch Tour w/ Pick up included take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 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 Private Pompeii, Horse Riding & Lunch Tour w/ Pick up included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sorrento, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Pompeii, Horse Riding & Lunch Tour w/ Pick up included?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Pompeii, Horse Riding & Lunch Tour w/ Pick up included suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Pompeii, Horse Riding & Lunch Tour w/ Pick up included?
+
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 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Pompeii, Horse Riding & Lunch Tour w/ Pick up included 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.
