Amalfi coast and Pompeii day tour

There's nothing in the world like the Amalfi coast. The culture, the monuments, the food, and the stunning view on the Mediterranean Coast turn every tour into a real love story. A private chauffeured car to and from your hotel (or Naples train station if you are on day trip from Rome) to the town of Ravello, which is elevated compared to other cities and where you can observe the splendour of the coast from above and the sparkle of the sea from afar. Villa Rufolo, that inspired Wagner while composing the Parsifal or villa Cimbrone will be the highlight of this gem before moving to Positano, where you’ll explore the iconic costal town at your leisure. After a lunch stop it’ll be time to visit the ancient ruins of Pompeii where you’ll have priority access leaning about the history, the architecture, the common habits of its inhabitants surprised and killed by the violent eruption of the 79 a.D. This full day private tour combines history and beauty, enjoy it!

The tour includes private chauffeured car and tickets. It goes to Ravello, Positano and Pompeii but it can go to Sorrento or Amalfi or Herculaneum upon request.

The quick lunch can be easily turned into a proper lunch in a restaurant overlooking the sea.

Naples' heaven and hell: a journey through culture, history and food

Naples is a magnificent, dynamic, vibrant and, at times, chaotic city, defined in ancient literature as both "Paradise" and "the city where evil lives". Our tour provides a perfect balance between Naples' split personalities. We will see churches, cloisters and breathtaking views, visiting the Duomo where the dried blood of San Gennaro miraculously liquifies in two vials and the Cloister of Santa Chiara with its stunningly colorful tiles.

In the Archaeological Museum, we will spend time with frescoes, mosaics and marble floors that once decorated palatial residences in Pompeii and Rome.

We then will descend into the underground of Naples ("Napoli Sotterranea"), taking a journey through time from the City's ancient origins to its air-raid shelters during World War II and we'll ho throught the narrow dark alleys where scooters are noisily moving.

Along the way we will sample some of Naples' best street foods.

The Veiled Christ can be added to this tour upon request to extend this experience. We can arrange even “after hours” visits, to let you be alone in the precious gem called Cappella Sansevero.

Elegant Naples

Did you know that the city of Naples brims with vibrant culture, incredible gourmet delights, stunning architecture and a chaotic atmosphere? But it may not be traditionally considered as glamorous as some other cities.

However, Naples does have its own unique allure and offers a touch of elegance in various aspects. This tour will be the occasion to focus on some of them: from the cultural events housed by the Teatro di San Carlo, one of the most prestigious opera houses in the world, to the 1860s elegance of the Cafè Gambrinus, the watering hole of choice for the Neapolitan elite, from the voulted glass and still Galleria Umberto to the Royal Palace. An incursion into the shops around Via Chiaia will be the occasion to find exclusive fashion brands, jewelry, and accessories.

Regal Naples offers a blend of sophistication cultural richness, and natural beauty that can be appreciated by those seeking an elegant experience choosing this tour. The tour includes a coffee and traditional Roman pastry break or a stop for a scoop of gelato.

Lifestyle, Art and Culture: Sanità Neighborhood Tour

The Sanità; ("Health") neighborhood, named for its "healthy" location outside the city walls, is quintessential Naples, a vibrant, noisy, evocative area, perfect for a guided stroll to become acquainted with the city. It bursts with local appeal in its shops, ateliers, studios and bustling eateries.

Our tour starts at the Porta San Gennaro, one of the most interesting of Naples' town gates, an architectural landmark that once connected the city center to the Catacombs. Among the sites we will visit are the sugar white church of Santa Maria alla Sanitá, the double-flight staircase of Palazzo San Felice and various other hidden gems like the artistic foundry were modern artists go for their bronze statues, or an atelier were hand made gloves are manufactured by Neapolitans ladies, or we might descend in the Greek hypogeum of the ancient town.

In the footsteps of Dyonisus: archaeology, art and wine.

As everybody knows Dyonisus was one of the many illegitimate Zeus' son and the inventor of wine. According to the myth a combination of the intoxicating effects of his invention and the enmity of Hera sent Dyonisus mad for a while. To escape her curses, he spent years travelling far and wide, spreading viticulture and the technique of winemaking around the Mediterranean. This tour is offered as daytrip from any area, in Campania. We’ll first visit the archaeological area of Paestum, with its surprisingly intact Greek Temples and museum. We then move to a restaurant for a vine tasting led by a sommelier and combined with food. Finally we’ll visit the atelier of the internationally acclaimed goldsmith (being entitled by Prince Rainier III of Monaco of Excellence in Goldsmith) whose hallmark is the figurative honeycomb fretwork technique.
