TOURS Shore Excursions
to Capri, Pompeii, Amalfi Coast, Sorrento, Herculaneum &
Vesuvius
We
organize private shore excursions from the port of Naples
to Capri, Amalfi
Coast, Herculaneum, Pompeii, Mt Vesuvius & Sorrento
for cruise ship passengers, in chauffeured air-conditioned
vehicles with English speaking tour guides. We also arrange
one day tours from Sorrento and Amalfi.
Our cruise ship shore excursions are completely customized
around your needs, to give you a real taste of southern Italy.
We can plan an itinerary which can give you the highlights
of the Amalfi Coast and the Neapolitan Riviera, which will
include sightseeing, scenery, breathtaking views and many
photo stops. However, taking into consideration the vast area
to cover and your time available, we do advise that you visit
villages or sights around the same area, so that you gain
the most from your tour, time and money at a relaxed pace.
There are tours that offer trips to Capri, Pompeii, Sorrento
or the Amalfi Coast all in one day. However, if your aim is
to take in some of the culture and sights without being rushed
or stressed, then these tours are not for you. There is a
vast distance of coastline to cover such as the Bay of Naples,
the Sorrento Peninsula and the Amalfi Coast; plus Capri is
an island off the mainland. With these tours you won’t
get to see a lot, as in reality Capri and the Amalfi Coast
are day tours on their own.
Our suggested itineraries for a one day tour of the
Bay of Naples are:
Pompeii,
Herculaneum and Mount Vesuvius
Pompeii,
Herculaneum and Oplontis (the Villa Poppea)
Our suggested itineraries for a one day tour of the
Amalfi Coast are:
Sorrento,
Positano and Amalfi
Positano,
Amalfi and Ravello
Our suggested mixed itineraries of both coastlines
are:
Pompeii
or Herculaneum (max 2 hrs), Sorrento and Positano
Pompeii
or Herculaneum (max 2 hrs), Ravello and Amalfi
Pompeii
or Herculaneum (max 2 hrs), Positano and Amalfi
However, we can personalize your itinerary according to your
needs, interests and time schedule if required.
All our tours are private and we never mix groups; however
this does not mean that we can’t provide the services
you require. If you wish to share the cost of a private tour
by joining a mixed group, a good suggestion is to go to “roll
calls” on www.cruisecritic.com
and form your own group. We can then organize a private driver
and tour guide (if required) to meet your group at the pier
in Naples, Sorrento or Amalfi for your private day tour.
For Cruise Shore Excursions between Naples and the Amalfi
Coast, we prefer to use minivans instead of minibuses for
small parties (up to 8 passengers). By using minivans, we
are able to avoid the main traffic; we can park closer to
the sites and we will avoid the extra fee of stoppage time
that minibuses incur. Your private driver and tour guide (if
required) will meet you at the dock in Naples, Sorrento or
Amalfi. You will be able to recognise your driver because
he will be holding a white board with the Lead Passenger's
name. Your tour will last 8-9 hours. Lunch stops are always
at authentic, not touristy restaurants, that are highly recommended.
We guarantee you will be back at your dock well in advance
of your cruise ship's departure.
