DESCRIPTION

With our local guide you will board on the Jet boat for the 45 minutes crossing to Marina Grande, the port of Capri. Here you will then board motorboats and visit the Blue Grotto (if weather and sea conditions permit). Minibuses are then used for a panoramic tour eventually arriving at Anacapri situated at 280 meters above sea level from where you will have a wonderful view of the bay of Naples. After lunch in a local restaurant, you will then have some free time before returning to Marina Grande to board the boat back to Naples. Entering the port of Naples, don’t miss this opportunity to admire the splendid Certosa of San Martino and the Royal Palace (a fortress of the 12th century). Tour ends after disembarkation. No return to hotel included.

N.B. We would recommend that you wear comfortable clothes and especially comfortable shoes to assist you when boarding the boats. During high season there may be delays in boarding the boats and minibuses and we ask you to pay particular attention to your guide to avoid getting separated from your group.

VERY IMPORTANT:If the sea conditions are so bad as to not permit the boats to leave from Naples to Capri, it will be necessary to substitute this tour with the tour of Pompeii (tour 15N) and the difference in price will be reimbursed.

DESCRIPTION

With our local guide we will start a short city tour crossing the historical center to see Piazza Del Plebiscito, the Royal Palace, the Basilica of San Francesco Di Paola, the San Carlo Opera House, the Gallery of Umberto I and the imposing Maschio Angioino. Upon leaving the city, we cross the fertile valley of Mount Vesuvius, passing the villages of Ercolano, Torre del Greco and Torre Annunziata before finally arriving at Pompeii where we will first have a stop for lunch before visiting the excavations. After lunch a local guide will take us on an approx 2 hour archeological journey on foot to see some of what have been discovered in approx 1900 years since Pompeii was covered by ashes during the eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79 AD. Through the remains and ruins of this ancient city, we can picture the everyday life of the Imperial Age and imagine the panic felt by the people in those last few minutes before the city was so disastrously buried. At the end of the visit to Pompeii we will then return to Naples - Beverello where the tour ends. No return to hotel included. During this excursion we will visit a Coral and Cameo factory where we will have the opportunity to inspect and purchase items of this ancient craft dating back to the Greek times.

N.B. We suggest that you wear comfortable clothes and shoes for this excursion, and to wear sunglasses and sun hats in the summer months.

DESCRIPTION

An itinerary that includes a panoramic tour for a glimpse of some of the most famous of Naples’ monuments and an opportunity to take a closer look at Vesuvius and the spectacular solidified lava flows of its’ most recent eruptions. Leaving Rome in a southerly direction, we take the “Highway of the Sun” crossing the fertile Roman countryside through the area known as the ‘Castelli Romani’. Approximately halfway along the highway, you will be able to see the Abbey of Montecassino, noted for its famous battle and complete destruction during the Second World War. Arriving in Naples we will proceed towards the hill of Posillipo from where we can enjoy one of the most spectacular views of the Gulf of Naples and the volcano Vesuvius. Descending towards the port of Mergellina and following the coastal road, we arrive in the ancient fishing quarter of Santa Lucia and see the impressive Castel dell’Ovo (photo stop). The city tour continues crossing the historical centre to see Piazza del Plebiscito, the Royal Palace, the Basilica of San Francesco di Paola, the San Carlo Opera House, the Gallery of Umberto I and the imposing Maschio Angioino. Upon leaving the city, we cross the fertile valley of Mount Vesuvius, passing the towns of Ercolano, Torre del Greco and Torre Annunziata until we reach the “Apa” cameo factory (brief visit) where we pick up the specialist guide for the visit to the vulcano. As we drive up the climbing road that leads from there, the guide will start pointing out the geological characteristics of the Somma-Vesuvius vulcanic complex and talk more generally about the Vesuvius National Park. When the road runs out at 1000 metres, it is time to start climbing on foot up to the “Great Crater” where the visit of this vulcano continues. Once at the edge of the crater, there’s the chance to look down into the gaping hole, and turning, to see the magnificent view across the Gulf of Naples, which has to be one of the most unique sights in the world. There will be a short stop to taste some of the most typical products from the Vesuvius National Park before being accompanied back to Pompeii to the “Oro & Pietra” (Gold and Stones) Show Room before setting out on the approx 3 hr. journey back to Rome where clients will be left in the vicinity of their respective hotels.
