ITINERARY

1

Day 1 Arrival at Naples

Landing in Naples. As with all our Amalfi coast tours, you’ll be warmly welcomed with a smile and a wave by both your private driver and Alma Italia tour host. There is so much to see and do that Amalfi coast trips can be complicated but with our Amalfi coast guided tours, you can relax knowing your Alma Italia host will take care of every little detail for you during your private Amalfi coast tour, ensuring you experience the very best of the soul of this stunning region.

The Alma Italia philosophy is that our tours of the Amalfi coast should be about rest, fun and adventure, to inspire and restore you. The day of your arrival then is designed for you to recharge after your long flight. Your private driver will take you straight to your stylish boutique hotel in the heart of Naples where you can relax and get refreshed. When you are ready, we will take you on a stroll through the centre of Naples to soak up the vibrant atmosphere and then to dinner at one of our favourite local restaurants in all of Naples.

Day 2 Naples Adventure

Naples, is a raucous city that overflows with passion, sex appeal, just a hint of danger combined with tradition and gastronomy. This makes it a very exciting place to visit and perhaps at Travel Deeply, our favorite city in Italy (though dont tell our Roman friends!)  Its evocative, historical old centre is a World Heritage-listed area. In the morning, after a delicious breakfast of fresh coffee and Italian treats, your host will take you on a stroll around the famous spanish quarter and down to the waterfront, for your first glimpse of the sparking Mediterranean sea. 

Naples is the birthplace of the pizza, and for lunch your Alma Italia guide will take you to our very favorite pizzeria to taste what’s truly in our opinion (and trust us we’ve done years of research!) the best pizza that Italy has to offer. After, your guide will take you underground to see ancient Napoli Sotterranea, the famous underground city, a fascinating experience. Finish the day, if it appeals,  with some window shopping, browsing the cool boutiques of this fashion conscious city, or simply relaxing at a waterfront bar, watching Napolitan life go by.

 Day 3 Up Pompeii

Day 3 will take you to one of the most unique places in the world, the likes of which you certainly not have experienced before. Your guide will escort you to Pompeii, just outside Naples at the foot of Mt Vesuvius. The small picturesque town of ‘modern’ Pompeii has a wonderful old town square – the perfect place to while away some time with the locals, drinking true Italian coffee and watching the world go by. Most of today though will be spent exploring the ruins of ancient Pompeii on a guided tour. Until 26 August, 79 AD, Pompeii was a thriving Roman trading centre, where ordinary people went about their everyday business, but it was frozen in time when Mount Vesuvius erupted, killing 2,000 people and their homes under a layer of ash. The city was never rebuilt and largely disappeared from people’s minds until the 18th century, when the ruins were re-discovered. Now you can take an unparalleled look back into the lives of ancient Romans and discover how they lived, worked and interacted 2,000 years ago. The finely preserved ruins include villas, temples, theatres and bustling markets. Walk along the chariot-marked streets, visit the magnificent amphitheatre and the ‘Villa of Mysteries’. You can also visit the Roman Forum and basilica, temples, public baths, and the tiny Odeon created for music recitals. In the afternoon we’ll head back to Naples to relax, perhaps taking a dip in your hotel pool to freshen up before another fabulous Italian dinner.

Day 8 Sorrento 

Set invitingly atop dramatic cliffs over sparkling, blue waters, it’s easy to see why Sorrento is at the heart of most Amalfi coast trips. This classical seaside town with its fine piazzas, maze of old streets, sidewalk cafes and glamorous shops has attracted wealthy travellers from all over the world for centuries. The area is also famous for its lemon groves, producing the famous limoncello liqueur.

After the morning exploring the streets and sights of Sorrento, you will meet with a private chef who will teach you the proper way to make traditional Neapolitan pizza. The delicious treat associated with Italy was invented in Naples in the nineteenth century, using buffalo mozzarella, tomato sauce, and basil to represent the colors of the new Italian flag. Your chef will teach you how to make the dough properly, craft a delicious customary pasta sauce, and melt the creamy buffalo mozzarella over the dough as it cooks in a wood-fire brick oven. The scent of wood will fade beneath the mouthwatering aroma of crisping dough. You will then top the pizza with fresh basil, allowing the herbal taste to cut through the acidic sauce and rich, creamy cheese. Lunch will be the fruit of your labour…you’ll deserve it!
