Overview
Explore the infamous volcano Mt Vesuvius up close on this 4-hour tour from Sorrento. Watch the Italian countryside glide by the window of an air-conditioned coach as you make your way up the slopes of Mt Vesuvius. This is the volcano that buried Pompeii and Herculaneum in hot ash in 79 AD, and from its summit you can see not only the immense crater but also excellent views over the Mediterranean Sea. Skip-the-Line entrance fee to Mt Vesuvius not included.
- 4-hour trip to Mt Vesuvius from Sorrento by air-conditioned coach
- Enjoy a scenic journey along the coastline and through traditional Italian towns
- Admire sweeping views of the Bay of Naples and the Sorrento Peninsula from the summit
- Explore the top of the crater with an expert guide
- Learn about the infamous eruption that destroyed the Roman towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum
Saved to wishlist!
Meet your expert guide outside your central Sorrento hotel or other pre-arranged pick-up location to board an air-conditioned coach, then relax as you are transported up a mountain and back in time.
Wind along a scenic coastline beside pretty towns, and then after about an hour, begin the ascent up Mt. Vesuvius. As the coach makes its way up the mountain, your guide sets the scene with the story of the massive eruptions that took place here more than 2,000 years ago. The thriving ancient Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum were both inundated with ash, killing roughly 16,000 people and burying entire towns.
The coach climbs to nearly 3,300 feet (1,000 meters), where you’ll have an opportunity to enjoy a thrilling 360-degree view that includes the Sorrentine Peninsula, the Bay of Naples, the island of Capri, and the city of Naples far below.
You can even join your guide for a walk up to the crater itself, learning about the geology and history of the area along the way. Look into the crater of this dormant - but still active - volcano and marvel at the devastation it once created.
After exploring on your own at the summit of Mt Vesuvius, follow your guide back to the coach for a relaxing drive back to Sorrento where you’ll be dropped off where you were picked up.
