About this tour
An eight-hour private journey from Naples cruise port that strings together three of southern Italy's most compelling destinations. Your guide meets you dockside to shepherd you by ferry to Capri, where you'll ride the funicular up to the village, explore its winding streets and Augustus's terraced gardens. Then it's back down and across to Sorrento by sea. From there, a private car takes you inland to Pompeii, where skip-the-line tickets let you wander the haunting Roman streets without the queue. Your driver returns you to Naples port by evening.
Highlights
- Funicular ascent through Capri's cliffsides to the village
- Augustus Gardens: sweeping views and Mediterranean greenery
- Dual ferry crossings: Capri to Sorrento coastal passage
- Sorrento's clifftop coastal town walk with local context
- Pompeii site access without standard ticketing queues
- Private car for Sorrento and Pompeii legs
What to expect
You'll start at Naples port with your guide, then board the ferry to Capri—about an hour crossing. The four-minute funicular ride deposits you in Capri's compact village centre, where narrow lanes open to boutiques and the sprawling Augustus Gardens overlook the Tyrrhenian Sea. After exploring here, you descend and ferry to Sorrento (30 minutes), a clifftop town with pastel buildings and lemon-scented streets. A private car then carries you to Pompeii, where your pre-booked tickets grant direct entry to the excavated Roman city. You'll have time to walk the eerily preserved streets—forum, amphitheatre, domestic homes—before your driver takes you back to Naples port.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes for Capri's steep village paths and Pompeii's uneven volcanic ground. The ferries run on schedule; arrive early if seas are rough. Pompeii is entirely outdoors with minimal shade—bring sunscreen and water. Infant car seats are available; request when booking.
