Private Half-Day or Full-Day Trips from Naples

The wonders of this part of Italy are renowned throughout the world: impressive Pompeii, breathtaking Capri, spectacular Amalfi and Ravello.... You may also have heard that it is not easy to see these things on your own unless you really know the lay of the land. Enormous Pompeii can be totally overwhelming. Capri is logistically challenging without an expert guide. And driving on the Amalfi Coast? Well, if your name isn't Fittipaldi or Schumacher, you might not see much more than the yellow line - when it exists!

Elisa & Claudio

For all these reasons, we suggest you visit this wonderful area with a private guide. This small group of enthusiastic young Neapolitans led by Elisa and Claudio, all speak great English, are extremely knowledgeable, and possess two other gifts that characterize this part of the world: a voracious love of life and a witty sense of humor. Their mission is to introduce you to the region's bewitching sites, delectable smells, fascinating history and charming folklore. Here are four unforgettable private day trips they offer:

FULL-DAY GUIDED TOUR OF THE AMALFI COAST

The legendary Amalfi coast is one of the most beautiful places in the world. No one who has ever seen it forgets its crystal blue waters, steep dark green hillsides, jewel-like hill towns and silent lemon groves. Of course few people ever forget its narrow winding roads, either! That's why the best way to enjoy the Amalfi Coast is in a private car with one of a delightful local guide. Sit back, open the windows and breathe the heady Mediterranean air. Revel in the sights and smells of this fairytale kingdom.

In the picture-perfect town of Amalfi, you'll visit the magnificent 9th-century cathedral, with a pause in its serene "cloister of paradise." Your stroll through the charming streets will lead you to the ideal spot for a taste of limoncello, the local specialty, a sweet lemon liqueur. You might spot some of the celebrities who come from all over the world to experience this unique retreat, and you'll marvel at the colors of the hillsides, with their citrus groves, olive trees and tiny vineyards all reflected in the sparkling sea hundreds of feet below.

Everywhere in the world, Positano is synonymous with romance and glamour. Its gleaming white houses seem to cascade down the steep hillside, crisscrossed with myriad sets of steep, narrow stairs. Boutiques abound, selling the unique clothing and souvenirs that make this special town a shopper's paradise.

Lunch is at a charming trattoria where the delicious food is as memorable as the panoramic view. The staff are good friends of your guide.

Next you'll hop into your private car and drive up to elegant Ravello, another world-famed hill town. You'll admire the view all up and down the coast, then visit Villa Cimbrone, the magnificent park that tops this most magical of hills.

FULL-DAY EXCURSION TO THE ISLE OF CAPRI

A day trip to Capri can be risky on your own, simply because you have to know your way around to maximize the sites you can see. If you put yourselves into the hands of a private guide, it will be pleasant and unforgettable. In the morning you'll take the hydrofoil from Positano or Naples. The trip lasts about 40 minutes and leaves you at the dock in Capri's Marina Grande. From there, you'll visit the world-famous Blue Grotto, truly one of the great natural wonders of the planet.



Afterwards you'll take a private mini-bus back to the charming town of Capri. The most famous square, called La Piazzetta, is surrounded almost completely by whitewashed buildings that make it as cozy as an outdoor living room. You'll explore some of the narrow winding streets radiating away from it, filled with flowering terraces and elegant little shops.

Next you'll go to lunch in a typical trattoria, where you'll sample some of the local specialties such as insalata caprese (slices of tomato served with mozzarella and basil leaves), washed down with the local bianco caprese white wine. As you eat, the panoramic view of the Bay of Naples will etch itself into your soul.

Your next walk will be to the opposite side of the island. You're sure to be deeply inspired by the calm sea breezes, the warm sun, and the silence, broken only by bird calls and the whish of pine needles stirring in the wind. Thoroughly invigorated, you'll set off on foot to witness the view that has made Capri a legend: the Faraglioni. These two large free-standing cliffs jut straight up out of the water near the narrow paved footpath you'll take around the secluded western edge of the island. Continuing past beautiful homes, you'll return to the Piazzetta, and then via hydrofoil back to the mainland.

FULL-DAY GUIDED TOUR OF POMPEII AND MOUNT VESUVIUS

If you are planning to stay in Naples or the Amalfi area (or even if you want a day trip from Rome), consider the complete visit to Pompeii. You'll be picked up in town and taken to the world's most fascinating ruins. Here you'll recreate a day in the life of your ancient counterparts: vacationers bent on enjoying the amenities of what was then a world-class resort town. You'll peek in on their homes, their baths, their clubs, and all the facilities used by the large local population of workers to ensure that everything worked smoothly in Pompeii

But why did it all come so suddenly to an end? As any schoolchild knows, this whole area was buried under twenty feet of ash one dark day in 79 A.D. The fatal blanket spewed forth from Mount Vesuvius, which still looms overhead. As a result of that same ash, the slopes of the volcano are now a lush Garden of Eden. Heavenly-scented citrus groves and vast Lacrima Christi vineyards surround gracious homes on the way up to the summit, which is still one of the world's most active craters (though not considered dangerous). It also offers the very best view of the Bay of Naples, one of the panoramic wonders of the world.

Herculaneum, like its more famous neighbor Pompeii, was lost to the world in late August 79 A.D. and then lay hidden for almost 1800 years. When excavations began in 1738, they uncovered a time capsule of Imperial Roman life. Many people feel that Herculaneum is more fascinating than Pompeii, perhaps partly because it is far less crowded. It offers the same cross-section of sumptuous patrician villas, frescoed basilica, large gym, theatre, public baths, and of course, skeletons.

For your in-depth introduction to this long-lost ancient world, choose one of the following tours:

Includes pick-up at your hotel, Naples rail station, dock or airport, a two-hour guided tour of Pompeii, a three-hour excursion to the summit of the volcano, transportation back and forth between Pompeii and Vesuvius, and drop-off at your destination point.

Please wear sturdy shoes and socks for the ascent of Mt. Vesuvius. It's not difficult but it can be dusty!

Naples presents an unforgettable blend of extravagant art, monumental history and zany humanity that inevitably brings a smile to your face when musing upon it afterwards.

You will be picked up by car at your hotel in Naples (or at the dock, rail station or airport) and driven to the meeting point in the heart of the historic center. From here your guide will lead you through the fascinating alleys, courtyards and piazzas, stopping along the way at the following spots:

• Church of Gesł Nuovo, built in the 17th century and considered the historic "heart" of the city

Santa Chiara

• Church of Santa Chiara, with its world-renowned colorful tile cloisters
• Naples Cathedral, with the chapel where San Gennaro's blood mysteriously liquifies every year in a most sacred ceremony that involves every Neapolitan
• Ready for a break? If you'd like you can stop at the best pastry shop in town so you can sample the local specialty, the sfogliatello, perhaps accompanied by the world's finest espresso
• Next, you will be met by your driver and driven to:
• Plebescite Square and the magnificent church of San Francesco di Paola
• The famed Galleria, Naples' most elegant gathering point
• The hilltop retreat of Posillipo, to view the entire Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius

After the tour, your driver will take you back to your hotel or another spot of your choice in central Naples.
