# Premium Minivan Trip from Rome: Pompeii Tour & Lunch in Sorrento

**Guidekin's take:** Picked for the small touches: coffee and a pastry on arrival in Pompeii, a certified archaeologist for the ruins and a reserved seaside lunch in Sorrento on the option that includes it, all in a small minivan group, rated 4.97 across 402 reviews. Transport, breakfast and the guide are included at €169 per person, hotel pickup and tips are not.
