Tour from your Hotel of Sorrento - Winery (Optional) - Herculaneum

Departing from: Naples Area, Amalfi Coast Area

Sorrento - Winery (Optional) - Herculaneum

Your private driver will greet you at your Hotel / Accommodation (or Naples train station), after a brief presentation you will be accompanied to the luxurious vehicle where our staff will offer you every comfort you need. After that they will give you important information about the day tour and the places that you are going to visit. Finally, let's get started your dream Private Tour !

Our first stop will be Sorrento. Arrived in the city of Sorrento, the private driver will leave you in the historical square called Piazza Tasso, but first of all he will show you the fastest way to go to inner part of the city where you can visit the old churches, museums, the beautiful buildings and the landscapes. You can visit the factory of famous Limoncello; an alcoholic drink made by lemons, sugar and water, a typical Italian product.In Sorrento, you'll enjoy your free time for a photo opportunity and a stroll down to the Sorrento Pier. Corso Italia is Sorrento's flower-lined main boulevard, here you'll find local shops, designer boutiques and cafés.

Later on, we are going to leave this lovely town for another kind of experience. Thank to its particular climate, the warm soil, its unique florae, the Volcano area is amazingly fertile and full of vineyards which produce incredible wines exported in all the world. With this tour you can arrange a visit to the best winery of the region, and probably of the world. The tour will include tasting of wines as “Lachrimae Christi” or “Capafresca” along with an amazing Italian light lunch made with local ingredients

The volcano is responsible for one of the most famous historical events in Italy, the tragic eruption that hit the old city of Pompeii as well, and this city is our next stop. The old city of Herculaneum is located at the base of the Vesuvius and was flourish during the Period of the Roman Empire. After the eruptions of the Volcano in 79 B.C. the city has been destroyed and covered by ashes and lapillus. Ancient tradition connected Herculaneum with the name of the Greek hero Heracles, an indication that the city was of Greek origin. There is, however, historical evidence that toward the end of the 6th century BC a primitive nucleus of Oscan-speaking inhabitants came under Greek hegemony there and that in the 4th century BC Herculaneum came under the domination of the Samnites. The city became a Roman municipium in 89 BC, when, having participated in the Social War (“war of the allies” against Rome), it was defeated by Titus Didius, a legate of Lucius Cornelius Sulla. 

Before leaving your private driver please agree upon the time to leave. Then the driver will recommend a suitable time to get back to your hotel /accommodation (or Naples train station) after this lovely day!

My wife is a travel agent and we have traveled extensively. Two years ago we were on a Mediterranean Cruise and we stopped in Italy. My wife had booked us a guided tour of the Amalfi Coast with Lovely Amalfi Coast Tours For ourselves, our daughter and niece. We were picked up By our guide Giovanni (Gio) and spent the better part of the day with him. He is a great driver with a very safe, reliable vehicle and a great personality! He showed us the sites and very knowledgeable in this perfect locality. The girls all fell in love with him and to this day we still all converse with him on Facebook. He recommended an awesome place to enjoy a Great lunch , right on the sea. You couldn’t ask foe a better setting. This was by far one of the best things that I have ever done in my life and I highly recommend it, and Gio!

BEST DECISION EVER! Absolutely breathtaking excursion! You will not regret hiring this company to guide you around Italy! Gorgeous views and excellent food along the way all thanks to the best tour guide we could have ever been blessed with! Vincenzo was fantastic! Tour guide is his title but he was definitely much more than that. He described many places and things we saw along the way, kept track of the time so that we were able to see everything we wanted to that day, willingly took photos of us at all of our stops, kept us entertained the entire day from beginning to end, and we truly felt like we were driving around Italy with a FRIEND! We were able to see all of the highlights on our list of must see places during our stop in Naples including Sorrento, the Amalfi Coast, Positano, & Pompeii. But we were also able to see and visit places we hadn’t known about before, like a local family owned Italian restaurant overlooking the famous Positano beach. Best food we had in all of Italy! All of this wouldn’t have happened without Vincenzo, his fun personality and great recommendations along the way! We are so lucky to have gotten him as our tour guide and we will absolutely look for Vincenzo the next time we are in Italy! Book him now for a fantastic tour worth every penny!

Amalfi Coast & Pompeii Day Trip. We will never forget this day thanks to Enrico and Lena. The scenery of the Amalfi Coast and the history of Pompeii is truly amazing. The high speed train from Rome to Naples is only an hour and Enrico greeted us at the station and within minutes we hit the road in his Mercedes. Our first stop was the pretty village of Serento, excellent shopping and cappuccino. Next stop Positano. Although very popular and therefore crowded it is so beautiful. Enrico suggested lunch at a restaurant high up the mountain called de Costantino. This is a must, we had the most spectacular view and the food and wine absolutely delicious, order the Family meal and house wine, all locally grown produce. With full bellies Enrico then drove us to Pompeii to meet our personal guide Lena. Pompeii in the afternoon is less crowded in the mornings and Lena expertly guided us through avoiding the mass group tours so it was a truly personal experience and her knowledge is fantastic. Pompeii cannot be missed, what a fascinating history and culture. Thanks Enrico and Lena for making this day very special.

from Sidney

Our driver/guide, Gio was perfect - very knowledgable, entertaining and efficient. Great itinerary including hiking up Vesuvius, a lovely lunch at Cantina del Vesuvio winery and Pompeii. Gio's local knowledge and personal service made it so much better than the standard cruise operators' tours.

from Los Angeles

We just finished our day tour of Positano, Sorrento & Pompeii. Giovanni was our driver & we feel so lucky to have had him! He was incredible and super friendly. Gió shared so much information about the region & his own personal experiences and recommendations of each place. You could tell that he was a proud Napolitano and we had so much fun! The Amalfi coast is so beautiful & although it is currently winter, there was something truly special about being one of the only tourists walking through Positano. It felt like we had the whole town to ourselves. We won't forget it! Grazie mille Giovanni!

from Boston

We booked a private car tour from Positano to Sorrento - but we got so much more! Vincenzo picked us up right on time from our hotel in Positano - and he was delightful! Not only did he drive us to Sorrento, he told us great stories of the areas as we drove through them. He stopped at all the best look out points so we could get the best views/photos of the Amalfi coast. He took the time to ask us what we were interested in seeing and doing in Sorrento so that he could customize the tour to what we wanted. It was perfect!! He dropped us in the city center for 2 hours so that we could shop and sightsee... and even made great recommendations for restaurants - and where to get the best Limoncello. We had a lovely day in Sorrento and it was all thanks to Vincenzo!

from Cincinnati US

By far the best full-day tour we had during our 2017 Mediterranean Cruise. Sal picked us up very punctually from the Port of Napoli and the fun began from there. The vehicle was very clean and comfortable. Sal was very informative and entertained our group throughout the day. Pickups at Amalfi, Positano, Ravello and Sorrento were all right on time and seamless. Highly recommended!!
