These sister cities were frozen in time for almost 1700 years, destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD. Preserved in ash, Pompeii is a fine example of a commercial Roman city. Herculaneum is a quiet seaside town that was actually preserved in mud. Both cities will be brought to life by our guide's commentary through radio headsets, so you do not miss a bit of what life was like during the Roman Empire. There is also a light lunch included. To give you a skip the line service, entrance fees are included at the time of booking. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Meeting point: 08:15 Achille Lauro… - Entry ticket included: skip the ticket desk - Max 25 people: shared group - Starts 08:15: one departure a day - Food included: Light lunch with 1 glass of wine ## Key facts - Price: from €96 per person - Duration: 8h - Rating: 4.54/5 from 319 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 89% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: TUI italia s.r.l ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Full day tour without lunch Pompeii and Herculaneum | €96 / person | English | Without lunch: Lunch NOT Included | | Full-day tour with lunch | €119 / person | English | With lunch: Lunch Included | ## What's included - Professional guide - Transport by air-conditioned bus - Skip the line tickets in Pompeii and Herculaneum - Light lunch with 1 glass of wine ## Not included - Gratuities ## Itinerary 1. **Sorrento** (pass by, no stop) - The Tour will start from Sorrento 2. **Archeological Park of Herculaneum** (2h; admission included) - Herculaneum 3. **Archaeological Park of Pompeii** (2h; admission included) - Pompeii ## Schedule - Runs: Mon, Tue, Thu, Sun - Departures: 08:15 - Schedule last checked: 2026-09-25 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point Meeting point: 08:15 Achille Lauro parking area, opposite Europa palace hotel ## Good to know - Public transportation options are available nearby - Suitable for all physical fitness levels ## Compared with other Pompeii & Vesuvius Tours | Tour | Price | Duration | Rating | Group | |---|---|---|---|---| | **This tour · #5 of 5** | €96 | 8h | 4.54 (319) | shared, max 25 | | [Pompeii Guided Tour From Sorrento Coast](/italy/sorrento/tours/pompeii-guided-tour-from-sorrento-coast/?format=md) | €134 | 4h | 4.85 (199) | shared | | [Pompeii Express Guided Tour by Train from Sorrento](/italy/sorrento/tours/pompeii-express-guided-tour-by-train-from-sorrento/?format=md) | €55 | 2h | 4.69 (935) | private | | [Priority Access Pompeii & Mt Vesuvius Full-Day Tour from Sorrento](/italy/sorrento/tours/priority-access-pompeii-mt-vesuvius-full-day-tour-from-sorrento/?format=md) | €106 | 8h | 4.65 (1559) | shared | Ranked #5 of 5 in Pompeii & Vesuvius Tours by Guidekin score (rating weighted by review volume).
