About this tour
Spend nine hours exploring two of Campania's standout destinations. Begin on Capri, where you'll ride the funicular to the Piazzetta and wander the island's steep lanes lined with boutiques and local craft shops. Pause at Augustus Gardens to take in the dramatic Faraglioni rock formations, then head to Naples and travel by coach to Pompeii's archaeological site. Walk through preserved Roman streets, bathhouses, and civic buildings to grasp how ordinary citizens lived before Vesuvius erupted.

What to expect
The morning starts with a hydrofoil crossing to Capri. Once ashore, the funicular whisks you uphill in minutes. You'll have time to browse the Piazzetta's mix of high-end fashion outlets and family-run workshops, then walk through the gardens where Krupp once retreated. The views across the water toward the Faraglioni are striking. After lunch (on your own), you'll return to the port and drive toward Pompeii. Your guide will lead you through streets frozen in time: you'll see where residents bathed, traded goods, and lived. The detail—graffiti on walls, moulded shapes where bodies fell—brings the past close.
Good to know
Bring comfortable shoes for uneven Roman pavements and Capri's steep alleys. Lunch isn't included, so budget accordingly. The site is open-air and exposed; sun protection and water are essential. Strollers work on Capri but terrain at Pompeii is challenging for prams.
