Our private English speaking driver guide will meet clients at Naples Docks at 09.00AM our tour begins in Naples with a thirty minute journey to the Pompei ruins (entrances notPompe included) . Here you'll discover the archeological excavations of a lost city buried deep beneath the ash when Mt. Vesuvius violently erupted in 79 A.D. It was a monumental natural disaster that killed thousands and entombed the city under ash. Explore the grounds on this two-hour guided walking tour, as your guide describes the remarkably preserved remains that hint at daily life-how they entertained, decorated and lived.
Pompeii before the eruption was known as a vacation community for high society. It had a forum, amphitheater, gymnasium, shops and an aqueduct that delivered water for irrigation, fountains and private baths. Some of the ruins are remarkably preserved with detailed mosaics and frescoes decorating the interiors of villas.
The next leg of your tour continues at the charming village of Sorrento. Sorrento was another town that grew wealthy trading with the eastern Mediterranean, and now enjoys a thriving tourist industry. Chance for lunch on your own in Sorrento . One hour of free time immediately follows. Walk down to the Sorrento Pier or browse the shops along Corso Italia, Sorrento's flower-lined main boulevard.
You'll reboard our minibus for a forty five minute journey to Positano, a picturesque town built into a sheer cliff. The tiers of whitewashed houses that cling to the rock face have been the subject of myriad postcards and photos. Once a major trading port in the Middle Ages, today it is a sophisticated retreat for tourism, filled with boutiques, beach shops, fine restaurants and cafés. Enjoy a leisurely hour to explore the town or go shopping. Our tour will end at Naples Docks at 05.00PM (1700)
