2.Sorrento, Positano & Amalfi Coast – Small Group Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 8,643 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $76Top rated

Travel from Naples by air-conditioned minibus, with pickup at selected hotels or the port, live commentary and free time in Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi. The group is capped at 18. You can add lunch, and an optional Amalfi boat ride costs €15. Guides on this tour have included Gabriel, Mery and Marco, though your guide is not guaranteed.

“A place this beautiful needs very little help to make it enjoyable, but Mery (our tour guide) did just that! She provided great commentary throughout the tour from cultural to historical perspectives on the area to great tips on what to do during your free time, which there is plenty for each place. **Tip: if you get motion sickness, be prepared for a lot of winding roads to each destination. It is manageable but it felt like our driver was drift racing at times 😬 10/10”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,748 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $131

Spend about eight hours traveling from Naples to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius, with transport, entry, a guided walk through the ruins, and lunch included. Then hike a winding volcanic path at about 1,000 meters. Guides such as Connie, Flora, and Leo have led the tour, but check which Vesuvius route is included: reaching the crater is not guaranteed.

“Our van guide Mariam and Allesio for Pompeii were great, knowledgeable, fantastic communication in English. The description of the tour was as described. The only down side was the van/coaster was not enough to fit our group of 7. The smallest adult in our group needed to sit beside the driver and the tour guide in front. The lunch inclusion was great. Italian Food served in the restaurant with a view of Napoli City was great! Food were flavorful and service was excellent.”

“This is probably what I will remember most about Napoli. The views during the drive were some of the most incredible I have ever seen. And I need to give special thanks to our guide, Anna, and our driver, Giovanni. I trusted Giovanni with my life on the mountain roads, and Anna was extremely informative and a delight to have around. Every city and town we visited was beautiful and you absolutely cannot skip the boat tour of the Amalfi coast.”

6.Capri and Anacapri Small Group Tour + Ferry

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,143 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $116

Travel from Naples to Capri by hydrofoil, then explore Capri and Anacapri with a guide and island transport arranged. The day includes Augustus Gardens and free time for lunch, shops, or sights such as Monte Solaro’s chairlift and San Michele’s tiled floor, both extra-cost stops. Guides vary; Gabriel Casavega and Sandra are among those praised for making the day run smoothly.

“This was a great experience to experience the best of what Capri has to offer in a day. The instructions for pick up were clear and it was easy to find the tour guide at the port. Our guide gave great recommendations, but it is up to you to decide what to do with your free time. The biggest benefit of this tour is it takes the hassle out of coordination transportation to, on, and from the island. Be wary though - this is a full day event and goes past the approximate 8 hrs. We started at 8:00 AM and did not return to Naples until 5:30 PM (9.5…”

7.Amalfi Coast & Pompeii Small Group Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,135 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $96

Travel from Naples to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast by air-conditioned bus or minibus. A guide leads a two-hour Pompeii visit, while the Amalfi stop allows time for the cathedral, shops, and a limoncello tasting. Lunch and a €15 boat ride are optional. The route may change with traffic and Pompeii’s crowds.

“The Amalfi coast is beautiful. Wished we had more time. Pompeii was excellent and the guide we had (Walter) was super. Informative and attentive. I would have given this a 5 star, but the lunch that came with our tour was a big disappointment. We were given a bottle water, a plate of thrown together too salty salad, meatless spaghetti and a scope of lime ice. We could have used the money to eet inside the Amalfi coast for a spectacular lunch.”

“We had such a great time at Herculaneum with our guide Luciano. What a lovely man- he was very entertaining and funny but also very knowledgeable about the site and he did a great job of showing us the highlights and telling us lots of interesting details/ pointing out stuff that we’d definitely have missed if we’d been on our own. Our group wasn’t a huge one, but the earpieces worked really well and Luciano made sure that everyone could see and hear everything clearly.”

12.Pompeii: Small-Group Tour of Pompeii and Herculaneum

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 867 reviews

Walk Pompeii and Herculaneum with an archaeologist in a group of up to 20. The English-language tour includes guided visits at both sites, a short break in Pompeii and a train ride to Ercolano. Guides vary, with names including Diego, Paolo and Vincenzo. Expect ancient streets, vivid traces of daily life and plenty of walking.

“We visited Pompeii and Herculaneum on 12th October and joined our English speaking tour guide Vincenzo who was fantastic, and brought to life the famous ruins by being both fun and knowledgeable. You meet in the car park before entering the site at Pompeii and it could have been clearer which tour company they were as there are many around but it didn’t cause too much stress. Would highly recommend!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 659 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $111

Ride from Naples in a shared minivan for free time in Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello. Your driver handles the winding coastal roads; you explore independently, with about an hour in each town. Pickup is offered, but meals and Villa Rufolo admission cost extra.

“Pick up on time by Richard, more of whom later. The tour arund the coastline was amazing , we managed to get to all the places on the list and spent quality time in each . The only small gripe was the stop for lunch and although the place offered fantastic views for any instagramars in the party it was vastly overpriced for the quality of the food. Richard gave us a very good commentary throughout and did so in english/spanish and was thoroughly helpful but please Richard the driving!!!”
