Why not the Circumvesuviana
The Circumvesuviana to Pompeii and Sorrento leaves from the same station (underground level, Garibaldi station). It is cheap, but it is a local train: often crowded, with no space for luggage and many stops.
For anyone arriving with bags after a train journey, a private transfer is the simplest solution: from the platform to the van, and from the van to the hotel.
Where we meet
We agree on a meeting point at the station exit on Piazza Garibaldi. Send me your train number and arrival time: if the train is late, message me on WhatsApp.
- A sign with your name
- Help with your luggage to the van
- Tolls and parking included in the price
Arriving at Napoli Afragola?
Some high-speed trains also stop at Napoli Afragola, north of the city. If your train arrives there, mention it in your request: I can meet you at Afragola too.
