You’ll see the city itself, frozen in time from when it was destroyed by the fateful eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

Day 5
Free day in and around Sorrento. You could take the ferry to Capri, return to Naples by boat for the day, or explore some of the nearby islands. Sorrento, with its famous clifftop views, is well worth exploring.

Check out from your hotel at the end of the tour.
