5 tours · €55–€134 per person · ★ 4.7
A Pompeii tour from Sorrento fits in half a day, and the 5 Pompeii and Vesuvius tours here were picked by hand from every listing rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €55 per person for a guided visit that goes by local train with the entrance ticket in the price to €134 for a small group with a free transfer and two hours inside the ruins with a guide. Between them sit a skip-the-line Pompeii tour by coach, a full day that climbs Vesuvius after the excavations, and a Pompeii and Herculaneum day with a light lunch.
A quick way to choose: decide on the crater first, because the Vesuvius gate closes in bad weather and the operator then offers an alternative rather than a refund, and the climb needs some fitness. The train option is timed to the railway and refuses cruise passengers and hotels outside the Sorrento peninsula, lunch is free time everywhere except the Herculaneum day, and the ruins are uneven stone underfoot.
