Itinerary

Hotel or Port Pick-Up in Naples

Your private driver will meet you in the morning at your Naples hotel or directly at the Naples cruise port if you are coming on a cruise, welcoming you aboard a luxury sedan or minivan. Sit back and enjoy a relaxing drive toward the archaeological wonder of Pompeii (about 30 minutes’ drive from the port).

Guided Tour of Pompeii

Upon arrival, meet your officially licensed private guide, friendly and expert. Thanks to the sheer size and complexity of Pompeii, having a specialist is essential to fully appreciate its history and not waste time wandering around.
You’ll walk the same stone-paved streets once used by the ancient Roman citizens, explore ancient shops, admire colorful frescoes, and enter both modest homes and grand patrician villas. Your guide will bring to life the dramatic story of the 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius, explaining how the city was buried under ash and rediscovered many centuries later.

Coastal Drive to Sorrento or Positano

After Pompeii, your private driver will take you along the breathtaking Amalfi Coast road, offering panoramic views of cliffs, turquoise seas, and terraced lemon groves.
Choose between:

Sorrento – Closer to Naples, offering less driving time, charming piazzas, artisan shops, and sweeping views of the Bay of Naples.
Positano – A postcard-perfect village of pastel houses, boutique stores, romantic seaside cafés and a nice beach to relax .

You’ll have free time for sightseeing, shopping, photography, and lunch in a local restaurant (lunch not included).

Optional Extension to Amalfi

If you wish to continue further along the coast, extend your tour to Amalfi, a historic maritime town known for its elegant cathedral, medieval alleys, and world-famous limoncello. Enjoy a stroll through the old center or relax by the waterfront before heading back.

Return to Naples

At the end of the day, your driver will take you back to the Naples port or your hotel, ensuring an on-time return for cruise passengers.

Our private tour of Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast was the highlight of our entire cruise. Our driver was punctual, friendly and safe. Carmine was our guide in Pompeii and he was exceptional. He brought the ruins to life with stories and details you’d never get on your own. We chose Positano afterward and absolutely loved the free time to explore and have lunch by the beach. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a stress-free, high-quality experience

Hi Andrea, thanks for getting in touch. Yeah the tour was fantastic... As much I'd like to give you a suggestion for improvement I couldn't find anything to change! Teresa (Driver) and Paulo (guide) where there on time, waiting for us. The car was in excellent condition, we had wifi on board (which was nice surprise it wasn't announced in the page I think). Teresa was great, and Paulo was fantastic. He managed to skip the line for us in Pompeii and showed he knew the place upside down, gave us great tour, insightful and we felt very well take care of. After it he showed great flexibility to fit the tour in Napoli to our needs and you could see he's passionate about his city, which only makes you feel better about being there. Please give them both our thanks and regards! Xavi
