Guidekin's take

A cheaper way south with a choice of pairings: Pompeii with Sorrento, Positano with Sorrento, or all three on the private tier, with a limoncello tasting in Sorrento and an archaeologist in Pompeii on the options that include it.

Coach and tour leader are included at €69 per person, food and pickup are not. Check which two stops your option covers.

In our comparison: #69 of 75 in Day Trips from Rome, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
