Pompeii & Capri tour | private tours | shore excursions

These three beautiful places are very beautiful, but; you must be advised that you may feel rushed and yearning more time in each location. We always prefer that you focus on your preferred interest in your selection of your tour, BUT, if you must see all 3, heed this warning and enjoy.

Our driver we'll meet you at port of Naples,he'll stand right in front of the gang way of your cruise ship with a sign and your name on it.

You'll be chauffeured about 20 minutes, then you'll reach Pompeii where you'll meet a private local licensed guide that take you on a fascinating two-hour tour through this amazing place.

Once a thriving empire, the city of Pompeii had about 30,000 inhabitants in 79 AD, when it was completely covered in 30 feet of volcanic ash by the deadly eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Listen to your guide as he tells you the history of the city as you take in the baths, villas, theaters and wrestling grounds.

At the end of tour, your driver will pick you up right at the exit of the ruins and togheter with your private licensed guide will drive you to Sorrento, where you will catch the mid-day hydrofoil to the island. When you disembark the hydrofoil, your time on this magical island will begin.

Take the funicular up to Capri Town and La Piazzetta, lined with wonderful old and new buildings, sidewalk cafes, and of course shops! Decide if you would like to visit the Gardens of Caesar Augustus or to the Punta Tragara, both very easy walks, or if you prefer something a little more challenging.

If so, head up to the Villa Jovis to visit the ruins of Tiberius' most important imperial villa. Afterwards, you may choose to visit Anacapri, where you can pick between two adventures. For those unafraid of heights, a chair lift may be the absolute highlight of your day. It takes about 20 minutes to reach the top in single chairs silently gliding through the sky with the amazing vista below of the bluest Mediteranean seas and the whitest, highest cliffs with colourful houses perched in the most impossible places.

The second option takes you to Villa San Michele, the charming former home of Swedish doctor and philanthropist Axel Munthe (1857-1949) that Henry James called "the most fantastic beauty, poetry, and inutility that one had ever seen clustered together." The villa is set around Roman-style courtyards, marble walkways, and atriums.

Medieval choir stalls, Renaissance lecterns, and gilded statues of saints are all part of the setting, with some rooms preserving the doctor's personal memorabilia. A spectacular pergola path overlooking the entire Bay of Naples leads from the villa to the famous Sphinx Parapet, where an ancient Egyptian sphinx looks out toward Sorrento.

Either way, you will most certainly not want to leave when your time here is up. But don't miss the hydrofoil that will return you to Naples and your cruise ship!

SPECIAL INSTRUCTION

The first part of this tour is with a great English-speaking driver.In Pompeii and Capri you will tour with private local licensed guide.

This tour does not include the price of the hydrofoils or transportation on the island of Capri. Your English-speaking driver will drop you off in Sorrento ,then togheter with your guide you will take the hydrofoil from Sorrento to Capri (20 minutes).

When your time in Capri is over, you will take the hydrofoil from Capri to Naples (50 minutes).

The price will be about 17€ ($22) per person each way. The cost of a one-way ticket on the funicular is 1.30€ per person.

Restrictions

In season, the hydrofoils become very busy traveling back and forth from Naples to Capri.

Due to trafic conditions, happens that we only drive through Sorrento and maybe we'll have no time to stop here, the guide will give informations and explanations about the town.

It is not uncommon to have to stand; we suggest you arrive early especially for your return.

It is also true that the funicular becomes very busy at the end of the day with many rushing back to Naples so again we recommend that you leave in plenty of time.

We always try to make ticket reservations for hydrofoils, anyhow they don't garantuee the reservations to us, we don't take any responsability for missed hydrofoils or fully booked ferry.

If you find that there is a long line at the funicular as you leave the island, we suggest you take a taxi. Even if you have a pre-purchased ticket (which you can sell to someone in line), it is worth avoiding the line to insure your spot on the hydrofoil.

Taxi prices on the island are approximate. JoeBananaLimos does not monitor them.
