A sample itinerary

  1. Posillipo: the panoramic road, with stops at viewpoints over the bay and Vesuvius.
  2. Seafront and Castel dell’Ovo: the castle on the sea and the Borgo Marinari.
  3. Piazza del Plebiscito and the Royal Palace: with the Galleria Umberto I and the Teatro San Carlo just steps away.
  4. Vomero: the view from Castel Sant’Elmo and the Certosa di San Martino.
  5. Historic centre on foot: Spaccanapoli, San Gregorio Armeno, the Cathedral. I drop you at the entrance and pick you up at the agreed exit.

Why by car

Naples is a city of hills and viewpoints far apart from each other: Posillipo, Vomero and the seafront can only be reached on foot with a lot of effort. By car you link them in minutes and still have time for the historic centre, which is best experienced on foot.

If you arrive on a cruise, I wait for you at the terminal exit and bring you back to the ship with time to spare.

Add these if you have a full day

  • Pompeii or Herculaneum, 20–30 minutes away.
  • Vesuvius, with your online ticket already bought.
  • Pizza, in the historic centre or on the seafront.

Frequently asked questions

How long is a Naples tour with a driver?

Usually about 4 hours; it can be extended to a full day.

Do you also act as a guide?

I am the driver: I tell you about the city as we drive, but for guided visits inside museums or sites you need a licensed guide.

Is it suitable for cruise passengers?

Yes: departure and return at the cruise terminal, with the plan built around the ship’s schedule.

Can you drive into the historic centre?

The historic centre is largely a restricted traffic zone (ZTL) and pedestrian area: you visit it on foot, and I drop you off and pick you up at its edge.
