Guidekin's take

A bus day to Pompeii and Sorrento with a licensed guide and headsets for everyone in the ruins, a limoncello tasting and a lunch option at a local restaurant.

Transport, Pompeii entry and the tour leader are included at €81 per person. Bring ID for everyone, children included, and in summer the order may flip with Sorrento first.
