Wonderful overall experience
My husband and I booked Rosato Private Tours for a personal tour from Sorrento to Pompeii and Herculaneum. We were fortunate to have Vittorio, the owner of the company, as our driver. He arrived promptly at our hotel. He was professional and very friendly, and his vehicle was spotless! Due to my vertigo and car sickness, Vittorio was able to accommodate us and change up the original itinerary, which had included a trip up Mount Vesuvius. Instead, he suggested we visit Pompeii and then Herculaneum. Following the visits to the archaeological sites, he drove us to a wine tasting and lunch at a very nice small family-owned vineyard where everything they served was grown at the vineyard. He also suggested we get an English-speaking tour guide for our trip to Pompeii, which he arranged for us in advance. In addition, he provided us with the correct links to purchase our tickets online in advance for both sites. It was a wonderful stress-free day. After we finished lunch, Vittorio drove us to get gelato, which was delicious! Before returning to our hotel, I shared with Vittorio that I was looking for someone to translate two very old letters I had of my Italian grandfather's that were sent to him in the US from his parents back in Italy in 1914 and 1916. Vittorio went over and above his job and offered to translate them for me. Within a couple of days of sending him the letters, I received a very detailed email with the translations. This gesture meant the world to me that he would take the time out of his busy life so that I could experience a piece of my family's history from so long ago. Grazie per la tua gentilezza! The whole day and our overall experience working with Vittorio was one we will never forget. Our only regret was that we didn't get a picture of us with Vittorio!!

Amazing and easy!
We truly enjoyed our time in Sorrento which would not have been possible without the help and knowledge of Rosato private tour! Vittorio was so easy to work with and always answered promptly with all my questions. From the driver Gianluca transfer from the airport, Ciro our driver to Pompeii, Louisa the absolutely best translator you want to have to the winery they recommended! They made everything easy! All I can say is thank you! You guys are the greatest and you are truly appreciated! 😊❤️. Thank you! Ciao!

Go to Pompeii, but choose a different option
It cost a lot of money for what you got. Did not include admission to Pompeii. Did not include guide in Pompeii. Did not include admission to Vesuvius and was not told you had to buy tickets in advance to see Vesuvius and none were available so we were not able to go there. Guide was very pushy about canceling plans with other tour operators and using him instead. The other tour operator that I ended up using to go to the Amalfi coast was almost half the price and a much better guide. That being said, a trip to Pompeii is definitely worth it and they were able to get us an excellent private guide for an additional €150in addition to the admission price for Pompeii.
Response from the operator: Dear Sheri, Thank you for taking the time to share your review. At Rosato Private Tours, we always welcome constructive feedback. However, to ensure future travelers get an accurate picture of what actually happened, we must set the record straight. 1. **Transparent inclusions and pre-trip communication:** You booked your tour with us on August 2nd for a date a month later, on **September 9th**. Knowing from our 20 years of experience that some travelers unfortunately do not read tour descriptions carefully, exactly the next day—on August 3rd—we sent you a comprehensive message via Viator detailing every extra cost, ticket requirement, and step-by-step instruction. Claiming that these costs were a "surprise" is entirely false; the information was provided to you in black and white right after booking. 2. **Advance planning and the cancellation window:** For Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii, tickets are nominative and must be purchased independently by visitors in advance. We specifically advised you of this well in advance. When you finally informed us on **September 7th**—while you were still within your free cancellation window—that you hadn't secured your tickets and that Vesuvius was sold out, you had every opportunity to cancel your booking. Instead, you consciously chose to proceed with the tour anyway. 3. **Last-minute assistance:** Despite this oversight, our team jumped into action. Via WhatsApp, we guided you through purchasing Pompeii tickets and arranged a fantastic private archaeological guide at the last minute. Since Vesuvius could no longer be booked due to your late arrangements, we provided an alternative option, which you accepted. 4. **The Amalfi Coast quote and driver interaction:** We completely reject the claim that our driver was pushy. When you asked for an Amalfi Coast quote, we sent a full itinerary and price. Receiving no reply, our driver simply asked politely if you had received our message. Following up after a client requests information is standard professional courtesy—a simple reply letting us know you were not interested would have sufficed. 5. **Vehicle quality and service standards:** Our pricing reflects high-end operational standards: a brand-new vehicle, cold water, refreshing wipes, and a professional English-speaking driver who patiently answered all your friends' questions about Roman history—since they appeared far more interested in the History. While we are always glad to assist our guests, a successful trip requires a minimum of personal preparation and attention to instructions. Our 1,000+ top-rated reviews reflect the honesty, precision, and dedication we bring to our work every single day. We wish you all the best in your future travels. Sincerely, The Team at Rosato Private Tours

My best Italian experience
Vittorio was so responsive with any and all communication I initiated. He also organized an excellent private tour guide at Pompeii. Our driver was waiting for us at the hotel and took us to Pompeii, waited for us and drove us to Rome while explaining a lot about Italian history and culture. He was very informative and kind. Rosato was recommended by a good friend of mine. I am very glad I listened to her. I highly recommend Rosato Private Tour.

Private tour Pompeii Vesuvius and Winery from Sorrento: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does Private tour Pompeii Vesuvius and Winery from Sorrento cost?
+
Prices start at $394 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 tour Pompeii Vesuvius and Winery from Sorrento 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 Private tour Pompeii Vesuvius and Winery from Sorrento worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 39 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 tour Pompeii Vesuvius and Winery from Sorrento?
+
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 tour Pompeii Vesuvius and Winery from Sorrento 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 Private tour Pompeii Vesuvius and Winery from Sorrento?
+
Around 14 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 Private tour Pompeii Vesuvius and Winery from Sorrento 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 Sorrento Farm and Food Experience including Olive Oil, Limoncello, Wine tasting, Pizza School with Wine and Limoncello Tasting in a Local Farm, Authentic Farm Tour with Pizza, Cheese, Wine & Limoncello 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.
