Pompeii and Herculaneum Day Tour from Sorrento with Skip-the-Line Tickets and Lunch

Everything is booked in advance on this day out from Sorrento: skip-the-line entry to Pompeii and Herculaneum, an air-conditioned bus, a professional guide and a light lunch with a glass of wine. It runs under the TUI Plus label, with groups limited to 25 people per guide, and the guide's commentary reaches everyone through radio headsets.

Pompeii and Herculaneum are sister cities, destroyed by Vesuvius in 79 AD and frozen in time for almost 1,700 years. Pompeii, preserved in ash, is a fine example of a commercial Roman city. Herculaneum, preserved in mud, is a quiet seaside town.
