Italy Rome Tour

Our English speaking drivers will meet you outside of the cruise ship terminal at the port of Naples at 8:30 AM holding a sign with your name on it. This Private shore excursion will start with a drive by one of the most famous volcanos in Europe, Mt Vesuvius and continue onto the Sorrento Coast, where your driver will stop a couple of times (traffic dependent)  to take pictures of the beautiful coastline. You will drive along the coastal road to its furthest point where spectacular views of the entire bay of Naples and the Island of Capri (that was once joined to Sorrento) are revealed as the Amalfi coast road emerges from over the cliff.

Your first stop will be in Pompeii where you will spend 2 hours with your private tour guide. The Skip the Lines tickets are included !!!

After 2 hours in Pompeii, you will be off to the dramatic Amalfi Coast, where we will drive by Positano, through the fishing villages of Praiano, Furore and Conca dei Marini, and continue until finally reaching the busy square of Amalfi (Piazza Flavio Gioia) which is situated on the seafront. Here there is the one and only bus station along the coast and the shopping area lies just behind this. If you would like to steep yourself in Amalfi’s history there are some interesting sites to explore. Two of the most spectacular sites are the cathedral and the paper mill museum. Behind the square lies the main shopping street of Amalfi, that terminates at the highest and farthest point of the town. Along the pedestrian street are various bars and cafés, not to mention the many shops selling limoncello, casual clothing, swimwear, gifts, basic groceries, and of course, ceramics.

You will have time for lunch on your own in this area, should you wish, the driver will be happy to advise on local, authentic restaurants in the area.

After lunch, you will go on a relaxing drive uphill along a very narrow road passing several wineries and olive factories which will lead you to Ravello. This rural village is completely unspoilt by tourism, perched on top of the cliff situated above Amalfi and Minori. Ravello is famous for its breath-taking views, natural beauty and ancient monuments which are seen at their very best in the stunning gardens of Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo. In high season, these gardens are rich in the heady perfume of blooming flowers, flora and the sharp, sweet scent of lemons. Ravello is also denominated THE CITY OF MUSIC, as it was here that Richard Wagner composed his opera Parsifal.

Ravello will be the last stop of the tour, from here with a one hour drive, you will be back in Naples port.

We reserve the right to change the order in which we visit the sites.
