Highlights

  • 5Guided tour of Pompeii

    Very reliable cruise port pick up from the port at Naples. The communications leading to the trip via the app, were very good and reassuring. The transfer was in a modern minibus with AC and USB connections. Staff were friendly and helpful. On arrival at Pompeii our tickets were included and we were handed over to an English speaking Italian tour guide who was also an archeologist. The tour was thorough, informative and interesting. The tour lasted around 2.5 hours and there was some free time to wander too. We were then transported back to the cruise port. We will definitely use this company again as they were reasonably priced and reliable. We also heard good recommendations from other cruise passengers who had used the company in other destinations.

About Naples

Passionate and chaotic beneath Vesuvius, Naples is the birthplace of pizza and the gateway to Pompeii, Capri and the Amalfi Coast.

The historic centre, a dense grid of streets laid out by the ancient Greeks, is a world of churches, street shrines and laundry strung between balconies. Spaccanapoli cuts straight through it, Via San Gregorio Armeno is lined with nativity-scene workshops, and the Sansevero Chapel holds the astonishing Veiled Christ. Underground, tunnels and cisterns reveal the Greek and Roman city below.

Top-ranked sights in Naples: Mt. Vesuvius (Monte Vesuvio), Via dei Tribunali, Naples Historic Center (Napoli Centro Storico).
