Raycruise2010 Posted June 9, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Hi all. Rick Steves has suggested Can't be missed cruise tours in Naples (http://cantbemissedtours.com) for a Pompeii-Sorento-Amalfi coast drive. We're in the Naples port Aug. 1. While that tour isn't opened yet --- it needs 12 people --- I was wondering if anyone knows of other, similar tours at roughly the same price of 65 euros? Based on Steves' book and Trip Advisor reviews it looks great, and I hope either enough people sign up so they do one that day, or someone has an equally good idea. thanks!!

librarylady19 Posted June 10, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 10, 2014 We used Astarita out of Sorrento (Nico) for an absolutely wonderful driving tour of he Amalfi coast in May. Stopped in Positano, lunch at the amazing La Tagliata and another stop in Ravello. Nico was a very safe driver and so courteous. It was the highlight of our cruise!

nelblu Posted June 10, 2014 #6 Share Posted June 10, 2014 We used RCL tours for this tour. It was some 10 hours and some spectacular views (sometime scary) of the entire Amalfi Coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zales Posted June 10, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) AP Tours, and RomeinLimo, but you have to either join a group or create a group:D Edited June 10, 2014 by zales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priusprof Posted June 10, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) We've used Romeinlimo and Tiber Limo for those tours and both are excellent. If you are docked in Naples do Pompeii in the morning, Sorrento for lunch, and drive Amalfi to Positano. If you hire a limo company it is far more economical than a ships tour, as long as you have 6-8 people but, hire a private guide for Pompeii. It's worth the money to have someone explaining things. You get a guide with the ships tour but unless you are right with the guide you miss a lot. Edited June 10, 2014 by Priusprof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted June 10, 2014 #9 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I loved naples, if you have any extra time this is best pizza I have ever had , about a mile or 2 from the port- Brandi Brandi on Salita S.Anna di Palazzo, 1- 2 (angolo via Chiaia)Tel +39081416928, website here. Close to the elegant Chiaia neighbourhood and to Piazza Plebiscito, this is where the mythical “pizza margherita” was invented. Although pizzas have apparently been around in one form or another since Ancient Roman times, Raffaele Esposito is credited with creating the Margherita. He worked at this very pizzeria (established in 1780) and in 1889 he was asked to bake 3 different kinds of pizza for the royal visit of King Umberto I and Queen Margherita of Savoy. The Queen’s favorite was a pizza that had the colors of the Italian flag: basil leaves for green, mozzarella for white, and tomatoes for red. Named Pizza Margherita in her honor, this is how this pizza is still universally known . Brandi is one of the more elegant and atmopsheric pizzerias and offer many traditional Napoletano side dishes as well. While Italians tend to drink beer with pizza, they offer some nice Falanghina white wines and Aglianico based reds here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
