Top 4 2-Day Experiences in Rome

1.Rome to Pompeii, Sorrento & Capri: 2-Day South Italy Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 365 reviews · from $972Our pick

Travel by deluxe coach from Rome to Pompeii for a guided visit, then stay overnight in Sorrento before taking a seasonal ferry to Capri. The Blue Grotto depends on sea and weather conditions. Guides such as Rosella, Fabiano, and Sascha have been praised for their care and clear explanations, though you should expect guide changes and a brisk schedule.

“I really enjoyed the Pompeii and Sorrento portion of this tour! The rest I felt was a bit rushed. The tour guides were all great and the arranged food was also not bad. I did feel like there weren't much flexibility or freetime to explore the areas on our own. The hotel we stayed at was very clean and was very comfortable. It also had other amenities which I felt like I didn't have time to properly enjoy.”
