Departing from the Amalfi Ferry Pier, this full-day tour starts at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, in the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii. An archaeological and cultural treasure where the ghosts and echoes of history can still be seen and heard in the ruins of the ancient Roman city. You can wander 2000-year-old roads and glimpse into the temples and villas of the ancient city. You will see everything from colorful, lively frescoes and mosaics to the ghostly, white stone people of the city, frozen in time forever.

Pompeii is one of the most significant proofs of Roman civilization and, like an open book, provides outstanding information on the art, customs, trades and everyday life of the past. You’ll have three hours to explore the history and culture of Italy in Pompeii before breaking for lunch.

History buffs and anyone with archaeological and anthropological interests take note, your next stop will be at the historical site of Herculaneum. Herculaneum’s fate runs parallel to that of Pompeii. Destroyed by an earthquake in AD 62, the AD 79 eruption of Mt. Vesuvius saw it submerged in a thick sea of mud that essentially fossilized the city. The ruins of Herculaneum, like Pompeii, are very well preserved and harbor a wealth of archaeological finds, from ancient advertisements and stylish mosaics to carbonized furniture and terror-struck skeletons. Indeed, this superbly conserved Roman fishing town of 4000 inhabitants is easier to navigate than Pompeii.

Lightweight summer clothing and light layers are recommended, with sweaters and jackets advised for evenings and cooler months. Some terrain in Italy is uneven and archaeological sites can be challenging for those who are not surefooted, so keep that in mind when booking your tour. This particular tour involves a hike. Vehicles are accessible for a foldable wheelchair or walker.

Sometime between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., a private driver will pick you up at the Amalfi Ferry Pier or any other meeting point near the port that you arrange. A driver will chauffeur you and your companions to Naples in the comfort of your own private sedan or van. It’s a luxurious way to see this wonderful part of Italy.

The Napoli tour starts in the capital of the Campania region in historic Naples. Tiny, narrow streets wind their way around the city, held in check by the long, straight Spaccanapoli that cuts its way through the center of the city. Following this main road, you’ll easily find many of the city’s most beautiful sites.

Take in the grandeur of the Piazza del Plebiscito, which is surrounded by the Royal Palace, built in the 17th-century, and home of the Bourbon Kings. The Church of San Francesco di Paola, a domed cathedral with a portico that resembles that of the Pantheon in Rome.

The huge, imposing 13th-century Castel Nuovo is another sight to behold, with its stately, stark medieval towers surrounding a marble triumphal arch that was added in 1470 to celebrate Alfonso of Aragon’s entry to Naples.

Since you’re in Naples, take the opportunity to enjoy the city’s most famous dish: Neapolitan Pizza. You can find many delightful pizzerias in the city. If pizza’s not your thing, ask your driver for suggestions on where to find any of Naples’s other delicious treats.

After a lunch break, you will then hit the Coast Road, which wraps itself around the coastline offering vistas that blur into the distant horizon and precarious views of the crashing waves below. Your views of the islands of Capri, Ischia, and Procida will make for beautiful photographs, as will the mythical vista of Mount Vesuvius.

You’ll stop in Sorrento, famous for its lemons and a liqueur made from them called limoncello. The cliffs and the narrow roads that curve around and through them make for beautiful photos, as do the Marina Grande and Marina Piccolo, two ports that offer beautiful sea views.

Take joy in the continued beauty of the panoramic views of the coast as you pass through Praiano on your way to Amalfi where colorful tiers of houses blend into tree-dappled cliffs that climb into the clouds. This city is dramatic in its beauty, sitting at the mouth of a ravine, almost plunging into the sea. The heart of the city is the Piazza Duomo where Saint Andrew’s Cathedral with its Romanesque bell tower and brightly mosaiced Byzantine towers sits gleaming a the top of a staircase.

From Amalfi you will travel through the Dragon’s Valley, up to the hilltop town of Ravello, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Check out the view from Villa Rufolo or Villa Rufolo, which looks out over the bright blue sea, or visit the delightful and romantic Terrace of Infinity at Villa Cimbrone.
