Pompeii

Feel free to explore at your own pace and discover

Stop: 3 hours - admission not included

Visit Pompeii and learn more about ancient life before the eruption while admiring the volcanic beauty of the Amalfi Coast.

Explore Pompeii, starting with a visit to the city’s longest road, Via dell'Abbondanza. You can visit the amphitheater, one of the oldest surviving Roman structures of its kind, carefully dug out after being mostly buried by the Mt. Vesuvius eruptions. Then, take a solemn tour of the Garden of the Fugitives, where you can see the preserved casts of 13 victims of the eruptions and learn more about the tragic history of this famous city. From there, you can head to Villa dei Misteri (the “villa of mystery”), a remarkably well-preserved suburb on the outskirts of town, where you can immerse yourself in what life was once like here.

Mount Vesuvius

Feel free to explore at your own pace and discover

Stop: 3 h 30 min - admission not included

Hike along a crater of Mount Vesuvius, the volcano that famously buried Pompeii.

Head to Mount Vesuvius, the imposing but awe-inspiring volcano that erupted and buried Pompeii. Here, you can hike to the crater in around 30 minutes, though be mindful that it’s a steep trek and supportive shoes are essential. Peering into the 300m deep abyss at the crater’s edge makes the hike more than worth it. After the trek, head to the vineyards on the mountain’s slopes for a well-earned glass of wine. Be sure to try the Lacryma Christi (“Tears of Christ”). Visitors can book their tickets to the ruins of Pompeii and Vesuvius with the Herculaneum combined pass online.

Back to Sorrento

We’ll take you back to your starting point.

Great transfer option.

I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.

It was a fantastic trip.

We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.

Best transport company anywhere

We absolutely love this company and have used it many times over the years to get from A to B without the hassle of hiring a car ourselves. Excellent drivers every time. Efficient and professional. It’s worth every penny and we can honestly recommend Day Trip to everyone. It’s 5 star rating is well deserved.

Excellent experience in traveling

We traveled from Nuremberg to Munich in a beautiful Audi. Driver picked us at our hotel at the exact time requested. Got us to Munich in plenty of time for our next tour. Driver made sure we were comfortable

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.

Daytrip never disappoints

We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.

Great driver in Egypt

Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.

Comfortable and Safe Rides in Mexico

Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.

Great way to travel and see some sights on the way

We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.

Excellent service

We used the service twice while in Thailand. Extremely prompt and efficient customer service. Best rate being offered in Chiang Mai for the travels. Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.

With this Daytrip package, extra entry fees, tours, and tickets are not included in the final price. You will need to purchase these separately with the appropriate vendors.

Children can visit both sites, though the Vesuvius hike may be challenging for very young kids. The crater trail has no barriers, requiring adult supervision. Pompeii is suitable for families with educational value for all ages.

A guided tour of Pompeii's highlights takes 2-3 hours, covering major sites like the Forum, thermal baths, and preserved houses.

The hike to Vesuvius crater involves a moderate 30-minute uphill walk on volcanic paths. The trail is about 1.5 kilometers with steady inclines. Visitors should have reasonable fitness levels and wear proper hiking shoes.

Yes, Vesuvius is constantly monitored by volcanologists. While it's classified as an active volcano, the last major eruption was in 1944. Modern monitoring systems provide advanced warning of any volcanic activity changes.

Pack comfortable hiking shoes, sun protection, water bottles, and layered clothing. Temperatures on Vesuvius can be much cooler than at sea level, and winds can be strong at the crater.

Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) offer pleasant weather and smaller crowds. Summer can be extremely hot with limited shade at both locations, while winter may have reduced hours and weather-related closures.

Pompeii was preserved in ash during the 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius, creating an unprecedented archaeological site. Visitors can walk through intact Roman streets, houses, and businesses frozen in time nearly 2,000 years ago.
