What to do and see in Capri, Campania: The Best Archaeology Tours

March 9, 2022 Toi Mattera

Capri is pure romance—dramatic views, the bluest ocean you’ve ever seen, even the scent of lemon blossoms in the air. The luminescent Blue Grotto, striking Faraglioni Rocks and the Palazzo al Mare are popular with travelers, but for a real treat, snorkel at Marina Piccola beach. It’s said to be the spot where Odysseus nearly succumbed to the Sirens’ song… a fitting legend for this alluring island.

Capri can be easily reached by hydrofoil from Naples or Sorrento. It is one of the pearls of the Mediterranean Sea that every year is reached by the yachts of the most famous VIPs, the characteristic narrow streets, famous in the world for exclusive shopping, become the catwalk of important personalities. Sorrento reaching it from the sea has the exact perception (of why Sorrento) of why it was a city of strategic importance. Going along it in its alleys you have the conviction of staying in one of the most romantic and evocative places you can know. Visiting the excavations of Pompeii gives us the exact yardstick for comparing the beauty of the tourist sites, since the times of the Greeks, with the simplicity of everyday life in a city like Pompeii, even if it is possible to imagine also the lust of the Roman patricians admiring frescoes and mosaics that were only executed in villas of a certain prestige.

Inclusions: Private guide, minivan and driver Naples / Pier / Sorrento / Pompeii / Naples, parkings, highway tolls

Exclusions: Hydrofoil tickets, entry tickets where applicable, restaurants, transportation in Capri, gratuities

I would like to thank Tour Guide Naples for the excellent service and professional employees. The Capri excursion was great with Ugo that he is very professional in his work and even a very nice guy with people.The Blue Grotto was amazing, I know that is not polite to say, but because of the pandemic we enjoyed every place we went in quiet without lining nowhere even at the Blue Grotto we were alone and my kids could even get the permission for a little swim into the cave !!! I want to thank you for everything and for sure if I will have other trip to Italy, you'll be the only 1 company to work with.

Great tour! For a very reasonable price, you get to meet two wineries, drink a good amount of wine and visit the magic city of San Geminiano, all with a super nice crew. My girlfriend and I had a lot of fun, it was truly one of the best days on our trip to Italy in 2018. I'd definitely recommend this Wine Tour for anyone interested

The one down side is that even though this tour claims to offer a online ticket, it doesn’t. You need to go to their office across the street and pick it up. Not a big deal since it’s on the way if you come by train. The museum is gorgeous, a truly incredible experience.

We wished we could see Pope Francis but we could never expected we could see him so closely thanks to Rossana great effort. Rossana and our driver Luigi are both great persons and the visit to the Pope very well organized. They both were professional, supportive, engaging and very helpful. Rossana took really a great effort to make the visit tailored to our needs and she had great sense of humour. Big thanks to R and L. We would highly recommend this tour.
