Vesuvius Crater & Sorrento Private Day Trip from Naples

One day, two faces of Campania: the fire of the most famous volcano in the world and the sea of Sorrento, between lemon groves and cliffs.

Your private driver picks you up at your hotel in Naples and takes you up the slopes of Vesuvius. With your entrance ticket already included, walk the path to the rim of the Great Cone and look down into the crater, with the Bay of Naples, the islands and the Sorrento Peninsula at your feet. At the top, the Park's guides are on site to share curiosities about the volcano.

Then the road leads down to the coast and on to Sorrento. Two hours are all yours: stroll through the lanes of the old town, stop in Piazza Tasso, admire the sea and Vesuvius from the Villa Comunale gardens, or sit down for lunch wherever you like.

About seven hours with your own car and driver, at a relaxed pace: from the crater to the coast, in a single day.
