Description
Discover the essence of Southern Italy with an extraordinary day trip from Rome that will allow you to visit, in a single day, two of the country’s most fascinating treasures: the archaeological excavations at Pompeii and the spectacular Sorrento Coast, with free time in elegant Sorrento. Travel in comfort on an air-conditioned coach, accompanied by an expert tour leader speaking English and Spanish, and get ready for a journey through millennia of history, culture and breathtaking landscapes.
The tour will begin in Sorrento, one of Campania’s most chic and beloved destinations, overlooking the Gulf of Naples and famous for its elegant atmosphere, artisan shops, lively squares and fragrant lemon groves. Here you’ll have free time to stroll, relax or go shopping. To make the experience even more authentic, enjoy a limoncello tasting, a symbol of Campania’s culinary tradition.
After immersing yourself in the local culture, let yourself be enchanted by an evocative panoramic bus journey along the Sorrento Coast, a stretch of coastline famous worldwide for its sheer cliffs, spectacular views and picturesque pastel-coloured villages overlooking turquoise waters.
The tour continues to the legendary Pompeii, one of the world’s most extraordinary archaeological sites and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which was frozen in time following the devastating eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. As you stroll through ancient streets, villas, temples, thermal baths and perfectly preserved frescoes, you’ll be able to experience daily life in the Roman Empire and appreciate the immense historical and cultural value of this unique place.
In just one day, you’ll experience two authentic gems of Southern Italy, offering a perfect balance of history, nature and local flavours.
