This morning follow our local guide, for an introduction to the folk traditions and to the flourishing art scene that makes Naples a city like no other in Italy.

Our destinations on this tour of Naples is the vibrant food market of the Spanish Quarters and a closer look at the street food. As locals do, we visit a fish stall where deep fried seafood is served in the typical cone-shaped cuoppo. Then we are off to try crunchy taralli, as well as a traditional preparation with escarole, stuffed pastries and the classic espresso coffee.

This afternoon is yours to explore the buzzing capital of the Mediterranean at your own pace. Maybe you can join an evocative tour of the underground tunnels or visit the Royal Palace (not included). You can also decide to rest a bit in your hotel room before going out again tonight and try one of the cozy restaurants suggested by the tour manager.

After breakfast we load the luggage on a small private bus, and our Naples, Positano, Amalfi Coast Tour arrives at the foot of Mt. Vesuvius.

Take a step back in time with a knowledgeable and expert local guide and discover the archaeological site of Pompei, a former Roman city buried by volcanic ash after the devastating eruption of 79 A.D. Walk through the ruins of villas decorated with frescoes and mosaics as you learn how Romans used to live before the dramatic event that killed thousands of people.

Today’s lunch is served in a winery located on the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius, whose rich soil full of minerals is key in the production of local traditional wines such as Aglianico, Pedirosso and Lacryma Christi. 

Later, drive along the breathtaking Amalfi Coast to the charming village of Positano that has inspired generations of celebrities and artists. From your exclusive sea-view room take in the beauty and admire the maze of steep stairs and alleyways below.

Many tourists go to Capri but very few get to do it by private boat *.

Get a new perspective of Naples, Positano, Amalfi Coast Tour as we sail to the world-famous island of Capri. Meet your captain in Positano and board our 12-passenger boat: you can decide if you want to lay on the bow under the sun or if you prefer to sit in the shade of the back.

 Either way, enjoy the jaw-dropping views of hidden inlets along the Amalfi coastline. Later, we reach the southern coast of the island of Capri with its numerous colorful grottos and evocative rock formations. 

We sail to the iconic Faraglioni and you’ll get a chance to swim in a quiet bay, away from crowds. Towels and a refreshing glass of Prosecco are provided!

After docking in Capri, follow your tour manager in the upper town for an introductory walk and spend your free time at your own leisure: maybe lunch in one of the exclusive restaurants or a hike to the remains of Villa Jovis, once the favorite spot of Roman Emperor Tiberius.

You will be enchanted by the rose gardens spilling over elegant villa walls just steps away from the glamorous fashion shops.

Return to Positano in the late afternoon and enjoy dinner on your own.

*In case of rough sea conditions, for everyone’s safety and well-being, the ride to Capri may be arranged with a public ferry boat (without the chance of swimming and visiting the Faraglioni). In case of bad weather, the Capri excursion will be replaced by another land-based activity. No refunds will be given in either case.
