Daytrip from Naples port to Pompei, Sorrento & Positano
Description
On this exciting excursion you will enjoy the best of Sorrento, Positano, and the ruins of Pompeii or Herculaneum. You will be greeted at the Port of Naples by your private driver before making your way to the archaeological site of Pompeii, the ancient city whose ruins were preserved by the volcanic eruption that devastated it in 79AD. Here you will spend the duration of the morning, before continuing on to the picturesque coastal village of Sorrento for some sightseeing and lunch. The tour continues along the Amalfi coast to the winding, narrow streets and seaside cafes of Positano. The day will conclude here, after which you will be taken back to the Port of Naples. In case you have already visited Pompeii, you can substitute it with Herculaneum. The site is less famous and smaller, but still harbors a wealth of archeological findings, which include stylish mosaics, ancient advertisements and well preserved homes.

Itinerary
If option selected you will visit this site instead of Ercolanum. Pompeii is a unique historic site in that in an ironic twist of fate, the catastrophe that decimated the citizens of the unsuspecting town is also responsible for the near-perfect preservation of many things that would have otherwise been destroyed in all other such natural disasters. You’ll see art, furniture, and other everyday items the citizens used – in addition to the macabre plaster forms that are accurate representations of the citizens as captured in their last living moments.
If option selected you will visit this site instead of Pompei. Ercolano is a town and comune in the Metropolitan City of Naples, Campania of Southern Italy. It lies at the western foot of Mount Vesuvius, on the Bay of Naples, just southeast of the city of Naples. The medieval town of Resina was built on the volcanic material left by the eruption of Vesuvius (79 AD) that destroyed the ancient city of Herculaneum, from which the present name is derived.
Magically suspended between the blue sky and the iridescent colored sea, the Amalfi coast seems to be born from the palette of a painter who wanted to use the warmer color gradients for creating a landscape that enchants the visitor at the first shot, giving thrilling experience and such evocative view to doubt, for a moment, it is real. It is the land where the sweet scent of lemon blossoms harmonizes itself with the most aromatic one of the Mediterranean vegetation and the acrid aroma of saltiness; where the brilliant colors of the majolica domes, bougainvillea and carnations pergolas give an evident colored touch to the typical whitewashed houses, clinging to the last offshoots of the Lattari Mounts that plunge dramatically into the sea.
The Sorrento Coast is a jagged promontory that shores up the southern end of the Bay of Naples. This peninsula of hilly terrain ends abruptly at a cliff that plunges sheerly down to the Mediterranean sea. The entire coastline around Sorrento was a Greek colony during the period of Magna Grecia, the legendary site of Homer's sirens, before being conquered by the Romans who enjoyed the area as a summer playground. It has maintained a reputation as an exclusive resort destination ever since. It boasts a mild climate, gorgeous panoramas and citrus-scented air.
Sorrento is a town overlooking the Bay of Naples in Southern Italy. A popular tourist destination due to its variety of small antique shops and location on the Amalfi Coast, it can be reached easily from Naples and Pompeii as it is at the south-eastern end of the Circumvesuviana rail line. The town is most known for its small shops selling ceramics, lacework and marquetry (woodwork). The Sorrentine Peninsula has views of Naples, Vesuvius and the Isle of Capri. The Amalfi Drive, connecting Sorrento and Amalfi, is a narrow road that threads along the high cliffs above the Tyrrhenian Sea. Ferries and hydrofoils connect the town to Naples, Amalfi, Positano, Capri and Ischia. Sorrento's sea cliffs and luxury hotels have attracted celebrities including Enrico Caruso and Luciano Pavarotti. Limoncello, a digestif made from lemon rinds, alcohol, water and sugar, is produced in Sorrento. Other agricultural production includes citrus fruit, wine, nuts and olives.
Dramatic, deluxe and more than a little dashing, Positano is the Amalfi Coast's front-cover splash, with vertiginous houses tumbling down to the sea in a cascade of sun-bleached peach, pink and terracotta. No less photo-worthy are its steep streets and steps, flanked by wisteria-draped hotels, smart restaurants and fashionable retailers. A pearl of the Amalfi Coast, it presents itself as a cluster of pastel houses clinging to the steep ledges of the Lattari Mountains, which reflect themselves in the clear sea below, surrounded by an intense fragrance of lemon and bright and vivid colors of bougainvillea. A maze of alleys and steps with small shops displaying the typical products of local crafts, which, together with the undisputed beauty of the landscape, have contributed to make Positano and the Amalfi Coast famous world-wide. We refer to the fresh linen dresses in style "Positano fashion", the leather sandals, the colorful ceramics and the limoncello.

My family just returned from a Mediterranean cruise and used Rome in Limo for three different ports. Rome in Limo truly made all the difference with maximizing the limited time we had at each stop. This was my husband and daughters' (9 and 12) first time in Italy, and I wanted to make sure they saw as much as possible. Everything was seamless. My contact, Jany, was prompt in responses, was very detailed, and answered all my questions. Our first port was La Spezia. We met our driver, Alessandro, outside the terminal and did the Florence and Pisa tour. Alessandro was friendly and made sure that we hit all the important spots of Florence. He got us over to Pisa and back to the boat in time. Next, Peter picked us up in Civitavecchia to take us to Rome. Our tour covered the highlights of Rome and the Vatican. I had my doubts if we could get it all done, but Peter succeeded. He knew exactly where to go and how to get there to get us in and out. Due to limited time, we did the 20 minute Arena only visit to the Coliseum, which was enough for us. These tickets sell out quick so I got them online immediately when they were released. We did the 1:00 tour of the Vatican with the private guide recommended by Rome In Limo. She was worth every penny! She was able to go behind the scenes to get us around the museum in two hours. In Naples we were picked up by Fabio for a trip to Sorrento and Positano, followed by Pompeii. Such an amazing day! Fabio shared so much information, took lots of pictures, and took us to an amazing family restaurant with a lovely view. It was our favorite day. I can't recommend Rome in Limo enough. I wish they were available in every country!!!!

Having a private driver for the 4 of us adults was just the best. Not only did he live locally ( in Sorento) but he recommended restaurants that his family enjoys. He was super friendly, easy going and yet professional. Always helping us to make the most of our time. Connected easily with our private tour guide in Pompeii. Just can't recommend this company more highly!

We had a wonderful time. Our drivers were very nice and knew lots about the areas we visited. Rome in Limo worked with us to coordinate pick up and any issues we had with getting tickets. If we go to this area again. I would rebook this company in a heartbeat. Their attention to customer service is great and so are their services. I highly recommend this company to anyone who is interested in a private tour. It was worth every penny!

We used RomeinLimo and I can't say enough about them! First of all, Jany communicated via of email for months with me. She guided me along the way. We used them to pick up 9 family members and lots of luggage at the airport and drive us to our hotel in Rome. They were there on time holding up signs with our name. Two Mercedes vans. Drivers were polite, friendly and so helpful with luggage. We had 4 kids, 3 adults and 2 seniors. After a few days, we used them again to drive us to Civitavecchia Port to board the Allure of the Seas. Again, the drivers were on time and so very helpful. When we docked in Naples, we booked an excursion to Sorrento and Pompeii. We also took Jany's advice to book a private tour guide in Pompeii. I would highly recommend this also. Our drivers, Mario and Diego went over and beyond. They made a lasting impression on our 12 year old twin grandsons. When Diego noticed my husband walked with a cane, they were able to tweak things to accommodate him. They booked a lunch reservation for us at a fabulous restaurant during our drive. We did another excursion with RomeinLimo in Florence and Pisa. AGAIN, the drivers were there waiting for us when we got off the ship at LaSpezia Port. So accommodating! After fun in Pisa, we drove to Florence - they suggested a place for lunch, which was delicious. Drivers drove to a different location and dropped us a pin, so we didn't have to walk back to where they dropped us off. The last day of our cruise, again the drivers were there before us, waiting and drove us back to the airport. EXCELLENT service!!! I highly recommend!

Spent the day touring with Daniel our driver/tour guide. Stopped by an olive farm, sampled many olive oils, drove along the coast, saw part of the Pompei area.
