# Day Trip from Rome: Explore Pompeii & Sorrento Amalfi Coast

**Guidekin's take:** A budget coach day to Pompeii and Sorrento with a licensed guide for the ruins on the guided tiers and a complimentary drink by the sea in Sorrento. Transport, Pompeii tickets and the tour leader are included at €76 per person, lunch and hotel pickup are not. The cheapest tier is transport and tickets only, so check that a guide is in your option.

## Overview

Discover ancient history and coastal charm in one unforgettable day. Travel from Rome to Pompeii, buried in 79 AD by Mount Vesuvius, and explore one of the world’s best-preserved archaeological sites. On a 2-hour guided tour, visit the Forum, baths, Lupanar (brothel), House of the Faun, plaster casts, and more led by a professional licensed guide who brings the ruins vividly to life.

After your journey through history, continue to Sorrento and the stunning Amalfi Coast. Relax by the sea, enjoy a complimentary drink, stroll through charming streets, or simply take in the breathtaking coastal views. This small-group tour is ideal for travelers who want to experience both the ancient Roman world and the beauty of southern Italy all in one rewarding day.

Pompeii’s streets still bear the marks of ancient carts, while fountains, snack bars, and even graffiti remain visible offering a fascinating glimpse into everyday Roman life.
