What to
expect from your driver
Your driver focuses on your comfort, timing, and logistics. They will
coordinate the day smoothly and handle transportation planning. For the guided
portions, your private licensed guide will lead the visit and provide
historical explanation.
Is this tour private?
Yes. This is a private shore excursion reserved only for your party, with your own vehicle and team for the day.
Can we really do Pompeii and Capri in one day from Naples?
Yes, it’s possible with smart timing and a cruise-friendly plan. The key is coordinating the driving portion, the guided visit in Pompeii, and the hydrofoil schedule to and from Capri.
How long is the guided visit in Pompeii?
The tour page specifies you will have about 2 hours to tour Pompeii with your private licensed guide.
Does this tour include a guide?
Yes. The tour page specifies an English-speaking licensed guide is included for the duration of the tour, and the guide will accompany you on the hydrofoil to Capri.
Is the driver also a guide?
No. Your driver is an experienced English-speaking driver (not a licensed guide). The licensed guide handles the guided portions and site explanation.
Do we need tickets in advance for Pompeii?
Pompeii is one of Italy’s most visited sites, so advance planning is strongly recommended. If you tell us your travel date and party size, we’ll help you plan the best ticket strategy and timing.
Is transportation to Capri included in the price?
No. The tour page states hydrofoil tickets and local transportation in Capri are not included, and you may expect to pay approximately 30 euros/person extra.
What can we see in Capri during this tour?
Capri sightseeing is flexible and depends on timing and your interests. Popular options mentioned on the page include Villa San Michele and Villa Jovis, plus scenic viewpoints and free time.
What if the hydrofoil schedule changes?
Hydrofoil schedules can vary by season and conditions. We plan the day around the best available departures and will adjust the order of activities when needed to keep your return to the ship safe and comfortable.
Is this tour suitable for guests with limited mobility?
It depends. Pompeii involves uneven ancient stone streets, and Capri can include stairs and slopes. If you share mobility concerns in advance, we’ll advise honestly and plan the easiest options.
What should we wear or bring?
Comfortable walking shoes are essential for Pompeii’s uneven surfaces. Bring sun protection in warm months, a light jacket for the ferry ride, and water.
Where do we meet the driver at Naples Port?
Your driver will meet you at the dock holding a sign with your name. We’ll confirm exact meeting instructions after booking. Please do not take any shuttle unless we specifically instruct you to do so.
Do you guarantee an on-time return to the ship?
Yes. We build the itinerary around your ship’s schedule and plan the day to ensure a timely return, supported by our on-time return guarantee.
Is tipping expected?
Tipping is appreciated but never required. A simple guideline is 10% for good service, 15% for great service, and 20% for exceptional service.
There will
be a full charge for bookings canceled with less than 72-hour notice. If the
ship does not make it to the pier due to bad weather, NO CHARGE will be made
(except any pre-purchased skip-the-line tickets, if requested, which are not
refundable). A full charge will be made for no show-up.
