3.Explore Capri and Anacapri from Naples: Sea, City and Limoncello

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 68 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $155

Travel from Naples to Capri with an authorized guide, ferry across the Gulf of Naples, minibus transfers, walks through Anacapri and Capri, limoncello tasting, and an optional boat ride past the White and Green Grottos, Malaparte House, and the Faraglioni.

“Overall, the trip was disappointing. Communication before the trip was good, however on reflection, the pick up time was too early. I appreciate traffic can be unpredictable but we were waiting around at the port, having arrived at 8.20am when the boat departure time was 9.15am. Unfortunately, there is nowhere to really sit or anywhere enticing enough to get coffee / anything else. Given that the majority of the people in our group were retirees, there appeared to be little consideration of this fact. On arriving to Capri at 10am, we all disembarked, only to get back on the exact same boat 15-20 mins later to do the boat ride…”

I would recommend taking into account weather and time of day as it can be very hot in the summer months. You will primarily be standing at a table for most of the food experience.”

6.From Naples Port: Sorrento & Pompeii With Limoncello Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 18 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $82

Travel from Naples Port to Sorrento and Pompeii in a shared group of up to 50 people. You get free time in Sorrento, a limoncello tasting, priority entry to Pompeii, and about two hours to explore independently. Guides may include Simona or Gabi, but Pompeii is not guided.

“This tour was essentially a bus trip with an escort which was what we wanted. It would have been nice to have more commentary throughout the ride to explain what we were passing or seeing. Our guide was nice enough & friendly. The bus was small with uncomfortable seats & poor air circulation which made for a long ride. We were given enough time to see Sorrento but could have used more time in Pompeii since we were on our own to explore. Our guide made sure we were back in Naples in plenty of time to get back on our cruise ship.”

“What an amazing find, booked on the morning on a day where we were just kicking about….never expected to have such an excellent time. We had a local family as our fellow chefs and they just added to the experience- felt so welcome and learned exactly how to make my favourite dessert! If you’re in Naples for a day - this is a must do. Off one of the main drags.”
