The ruins of Pompeii are a vast archaeological site in the southern Campania region, near the coast of the Gulf of Naples.

The preserved site features remains of excavated streets and houses that visitors can freely explore.

Stop At: Tempio di Giove Capitolino, Via Del Tempio Di Giove, 18, 00186 Pompeii Italy

The Temple of Jupiter dominates the northern side of the Forum, and Vesuvius rises spectacularly behind it. With the deduction of the colony (80 BC) the temple was the subject of a radical renovation and became a real Capitolium, with the three cult statues of Jupiter, Juno and Minerva, which imitated those of the Capitolium in Rome, placed on a high base, so as to make them visible to those passing through the Forum square.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Macellum, Via Villa Dei Misteri Regio VII, Building 12, 80045 Pompeii Italy

The Macellum of Pompeii was nothing more than the city market where people could buy food. Located north-east of the Forum, the complex had to remain out of the way from the square so as not to create too much crowding, given the high number of people who certainly frequented it.

Duration: 10 minutes

Via dell'Abbondanza is one of the main streets of the ancient city of Pompeii, in Campania, which connected the Forum with the Amphitheatre.

The Stabian Baths were built at different times. The initial phase of construction dates back to the 4th BC. (the gym with the trapezoid base). The baths that we can admire today were built in the 2nd century BC, a period in which Pompeii underwent a major building renovation.
In the spa not only did people bathe, but they also discussed politics, battles, trials, women... it was the city living room where the events of the day were discussed.

Duration: 10 minutes

Pass By: Via Villa Dei Misteri 2 Approximately Two Blocks East of The Forum at The Intersection of Vico del Lupanare and Vico del Balcone Pensile, 80045 Pompeii Italy

The brothel of Pompeii, with its erotic paintings, is one of the best-known buildings of the excavations and had the function of a brothel.

    My first solo trip and they made it amazing. The weather wasn’t great but we all made the best of it and had a great time. Great views!

    Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius were both worth the experience. The lunch at the winery was ok, not great. Our guides throughout the tour were kind, patient, and knowledgeable (thank you Paola, Gino, and Miguel). Definitely recommend going. Maybe just adjust expectations about a wine paired lunch.

    Our group went on the tour that included a tour of Pompeii in the morning, lunch with wine tasting, and hike up Mount Vesuvius in the afternoon. We even stopped off for a lovely Limoncello tasting on the way back to Sorrento. We had a fantastic day. The tour was well coordinated as the crowds can be overwhelming at Pompeii and this company knows how to manage this aspect well. The tour guide at Pompeii was excellent. Lunch was at a lovely winery , then on to Mt Vesuvius. Of note, wear sturdy, climbing shoes that you do not mind getting dirty. This is a real hike up to the top, but totally worth it! Amazing views. On the way back to Sorrento, we stopped for a Limoncello tasting which was fun. The tour company picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel which was very helpful. Highly recommend this tour.

    Our tour guide, Paola, was INCREDIBLE! We loved her knowledge, her sweet demeanor, and we loved that she had some fun surprises for us - the Cameo making/shopping before Pompeii, and the fun limoncello stand just down the hill from the top of Mt, Vesuvius was SO interesting and quirky and full of tastings of chocolate and interesting limoncello flavors! Loved it! However, the tour we had for Pompeii felt a bit rushed (NOT Paola). Once we got to Pompeii, we were handed over to one of their tour guides who led us through. I know we booked this tour with A LOT to pack in for the day - Pompeii, wine tasting and lunch, and Vesuvius - but, had I to do it all over again, I think I’d have done Pompeii on my own, using the app they provide, just to be able to avoid the crowds and spend more time. That being said, we enjoyed the winery tasting and lunch VERY much and we were glad to have had the time to do it! About Vesuvius: PLEASE KNOW YOUR PHYSICAL LIMITS. If you have ANY issues with hips, knees, feet, or heart issues, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MAKE THE CLIMB. It’s VERY rocky. It’s VERY steep. It’s VERY hot. We had to wait on our bus for over 45 MINUTES for an older woman who had to be brought down by ambulance because she had bad knees and couldn’t make it. We were upset with the lack of communication from the tour company that we were just made to wait on the bus all this time after our climb. There are NO accessible bathrooms on Vesuvius, and we had all just had lunch and climbed to the top with large bottles of water. We were given a specific time to be back to the bus after our climb to the top of Vesuvius. We should NOT have had to wait on the bus for an extra 45 minutes for the person who couldn’t make it back on time. Again, do NOT do this hike if you’ve got ANY sort of joint/heart condition. IT. IS. STRENUOUS. That being said, the trip back was lovely, with a stop at the aforementioned limoncello stand with toilettes and goodies. We drove back into Sorrento overlooking the Bay of Naples with a beautiful sunset. This tour was unique - especially with the winery portion of it (it’s a gorgeous winery with “Insta-perfect” photo spots), and Paola was so lovely. Highly recommend for those in good shape to make the climb.
