What to expect
You'll be picked up in Naples and driven south towards Sorrento. The driver will deposit you at Pompeii with enough time to walk the site independently—bring water and comfortable shoes, as the uneven ground demands a steady pace. The ruins sprawl across roughly 44 hectares, so prioritise what interests you most: the Forum, House of the Faun, gladiator barracks, or the eerie plaster casts in the brothel. Once you've had your fill, rejoin your driver for the remaining leg to Sorrento. The whole experience works well for those with moderate fitness; steep sections and crumbling stone require careful footing.
Good to know
Pompeii entrance fees and a licensed guide are separate costs. Bring sun protection, sturdy footwear, and cash for refreshments—there's little shade on site. Prams are manageable on wider paths but challenging on narrow sections. Infants can use specialised seats or travel on an adult's lap.
