Private Pompeii & Sorrento With Limoncello Tasting From Rome
Description
After the complimentary pick-up from your accommodation, you will enjoy a picturesque 2 hour drive along the Tyrrhenian coast to Pompeii and there, with a private art historian guide, you will visit what is considered as Europe’s most important archaeological site. This UNESCO World Heritage site was once a seaside resort and party-town for ancient Romans until tragedy struck one fateful April day in 79 AD, when Mt. Vesuvius famously erupted, burying the city, seaside and surrounding the whole area in volcanic ash.
Pompeii was then lost to the world for over a millennium and a half until its ruins were first discovered in 1599, and then rediscovered 150 years later. Pompeii’s artifacts and remaining frescoes, mosaics, and structures give us an incredible insight into what life was like during the late Republic and early Roman Empire.
After the tour, your private driver will take you on a beautiful 1 hour drive, along the gulf of Naples, all the way to Sorrento where you will have free time to stop for lunch. The driver and tour assistant will be happy to suggest you some of the best and most awarded restaurants in the area.
Sorrento is a charming town, known for its high quality hand craft products (especially limoncello) as well as its spectacular views across the bay of Naples towards the city and further towards Mt. Vesuvius. The architecture is very picturesque with its numerous terracotta colored buildings, facing the vertiginous cliffs and the busy narrow streets reviving the atmosphere.
After your visit, the driver will take you to one of our favourite bars to enjoy a delicious limoncello tasting with local pastries!
