Your Itinerary

Pompeii Archaeological Park

Visit included only if this tour option is chosen. Pompei is a city and comune in the Metropolitan City of Naples in Italy, home of the ancient Roman ruins part of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It is one of the most significant proofs of Roman civilization and, like an open book, provides outstanding information on the art, customs, trades and everyday life of the past. The city has re-emerged from the darkness of centuries precisely as it would have been when it was unexpectedly buried in the thick layer of ash and lava which poured down from the devastating eruption of Vesuvius.

Admission Included

Parco Acheologico di Ercolano

Visit included only if this tour option is chosen. Ercolano is a town and comune in the Metropolitan City of Naples, Campania of Southern Italy. It lies at the western foot of Mount Vesuvius, on the Bay of Naples, just southeast of the city of Naples. The medieval town of Resina was built on the volcanic material left by the eruption of Vesuvius (79 AD) that destroyed the ancient city of Herculaneum, from which the present name is derived. Ercolano is a resort and the starting point for excursions to the excavations of Herculaneum and for the ascent of Vesuvius by bus. The town also manufactures leather goods, buttons, glass, and the wine known as Lacryma Christi (Tears of Christ)

Admission Included

Sorrento

Sorrento is a town overlooking the Bay of Naples in Southern Italy. A popular tourist destination due to its variety of small antique shops and location on the Amalfi Coast, it can be reached easily from Naples and Pompeii as it is at the south-eastern end of the Circumvesuviana rail line. The town is most known for its small shops selling ceramics, lacework and marquetry (woodwork). The Sorrentine Peninsula has views of Naples, Vesuvius and the Isle of Capri. The Amalfi Drive, connecting Sorrento and Amalfi, is a narrow road that threads along the high cliffs above the Tyrrhenian Sea. Ferries and hydrofoils connect the town to Naples, Amalfi, Positano, Capri and Ischia. Sorrento's sea cliffs and luxury hotels have attracted celebrities including Enrico Caruso and Luciano Pavarotti. Limoncello, a digestif made from lemon rinds, alcohol, water and sugar, is produced in Sorrento. Other agricultural production includes citrus fruit, wine, nuts and olives.

Sorrento Coast

(Pass by)

The Sorrento Coast is a jagged promontory that shores up the southern end of the Bay of Naples. This peninsula of hilly terrain ends abruptly at a cliff that plunges sheerly down to the Mediterranean sea. The entire coastline around Sorrento was a Greek colony during the period of Magna Grecia, the legendary site of Homer's sirens, before being conquered by the Romans who enjoyed the area as a summer playground. It has maintained a reputation as an exclusive resort destination ever since. It boasts a mild climate, gorgeous panoramas and citrus-scented air.

A full day>> our driver, Peter, was just wonderful-so nice and accommodating and a fantastic driver! He called and booked us a great Pompeii guide who was an archeologist who works on the ongoing Pompeii discovery. He made sure we saw what we MUST see in Sorrento, even though we were getting a bit tired and wanted to pass, and we are so thankful he politely made sure we enjoyed the spectacular views of the area! A luxurious Mercedes van was just icing on this unforgettable birthday cake of a day!

Daniel Ronca our tour guide was fantastic! He was informative, funny and entertaining and very accomodating to suit the needs of our group. The tour was awesome and we had a lovely lunch at a restaurant recommended by Daniel. Beautiful views of Sorrento and even a bit of Amalfi coast. Rosemary who took us through Pompeii was fantastic too . Highly recommend Limo in Rome!

I highly recommend this trip and company. Our driver Piero was wonderful and took such great care of my daughter and I. We had an early pick up in Rome to begin our day trip to Pompeii and Sorrento. Piero helped arrange for a private tour of Pompeii and a wonderful lunch in Sorrento. We had a fabulous day!

Overall wonderful experience! Everything went smoothly exactly as scheduled. Our driver Nick showed up early for our pickup at the hotel. He was very friendly and accommodating. The Mercedes sprinter van was perfect size for our group of 8 people. It was clean and comfortable. Lucio, our guide at Pompeii was terrific. He was friendly and knew all of the interesting history. Having a knowledgeable expert guide at Pompeii brought the story to life! Don’t try to just walk through Pompeii on your own. You will see things but not understand the amazing stories that they tell. We then headed off to Sorrento where we had just enough time for lunch and shopping before heading back to Rome. I would definitely recommend this tour!

My husband and myself, along with our sons (ages 19, 15, and 10) visited Sorrento and Pompei in July. Fabio picked us up promptly at 7:30 and shared a wealth of information as we traveled to Sorrento. He pointed out particular places of interest as we drove and we enjoyed talking with him. Sorrento was beautiful! We spent the morning shopping, sightseeing, and eating, then it was back in the van for our afternoon in Pompei. There we met our guide Lucio, who took us through the ancient city while telling us its fascinating history. He was very knowledgeable and personable, and also found every shady spot in Pompei (!). Fabio took us back to our apartment in Rome after an exhausting day. We enjoyed our time with both Fabio and Lucio and would definitely use Rome in Limo again.

We were referred to Rome In Limo by a friend who had used them last year on the same cruising itinerary. She does not recommend companies lightly, so I thought they MUST be great for her to recommend them. I emailed Rome In Limo and immediately received a response from Francesco. What a lovely man - the patience of a saint because I had a thousand questions! I was also in contact with Jany. He also was wonderful and very patient. This was very important because I had never been to Italy before and wanted to get everything just right for me and my 8 other family members. We just got back from our trip and I can't say enough wonderful things about our 6 guides! We needed 2 luxury cars because we were so many people. Each driver and the Mercedes car/van they were driving was wonderful (they upgrade their fleet every 3 years so the vehicles are always immaculate and safe)! We had exact directions where to meet the drivers and they were always right there waiting for us with their nice signs. The drivers were informative, nice, professional, presentable and made us all feel very welcome. We even had a sing a long with our Naples driver. They set up any tour guides we needed and also helped us get our attraction tickets to the Vatican, etc. We highly recommend Rome In Limo! Don't hesitate to use them. They made everything so smooth and memorable!
