Tour to Capri from the Sorrento Peninsula with pick-up

We had a fabulous day trip from Torre del Greco to Capri which included a boat trip round Capri. We then had free time on the island. The guide Anastasia was incredibly helpful and we bought a hop on hop off bus ticket and skip the line cable car ticket. (If you do this ignore everyone who says you need to queue and head for the desk). For an extra €6 we had a lovely lunch too.

I booked a tour of Pompeii and Vesuvius with transportation from Sorrento. The meet-up point in Sorrento was just a five minute walk from my Airbnb. Chiara was our tour guide on the bus, and Mimo was our driver. They were both excellent. Mimo managed the winding, narrow roads and hairpin turns with ease, and Chiara was very communicative. She kept us informed and explained our itinerary, and she also pointed out the sights we were passing on the bus. She did this in both english AND in Spanish since there was one Spanish speaking couple on our bus. There were only about 12 tourists on our bus, so it was a nice, small group. Pompeii is a must see for everyone who visits this region in Italy. Our guide through the streets and ruins of Pompeii was Giovanni, and he, too, was an excellent guide. I think it is essential to have someone explain exactly what we are seeing who can also answer questions. After Pompeii, we boarded the bus and were driven to a restauant for lunch. It was a nice restaurant which had some good views. The pizza and beer were tasty and satisfying. All in all, the lunch stop was better than I anticipated. After lunch, we headed to Vesuvius which my husband and I climbed on our own to the rim. The uphill walk to the rim in the late summer heat was challenging, but worth it!! I highly recommend this tour. It was a very good value for cost. We enjoyed our day immensely!

It was really fantastic and they guide us in a wonderful way. The tour round the island was amazing!!! A perfect experience!!!

An excellent day. Highly recommend.
