Pretty famous at the time, as historians have preserved into their reports, the small city of Herculaneum, settled at the Volcano Vesuvius slopes, had been buried during the Vulcanic burst dated 79 A.C. Despite the centuries and the new urban settlements, 2000 years after that awful disaster you have the chance to move around the city and walk on the original stoned pavements. The  private guide will show you the highlights of the Roman city while listening in details to our ancestors’ customs and traditions. Among the must see of the site, your will visit the "Palestra" (gym) and the houses whose walls are decorated with spectacular frescoes such as Casa di Nettuno e Anfritrite, Casa dello Scheletro, Casa dell'Alcova e Casa del salone nero. Skip the line and join our guides in this amazing 2.5 hours private walk into one of the most famous archaeological sites of the Campania region.

Our tour was from a cruise ship and was fabulous. Early in the day and without crowds as you would find at Pompeii. It was a resort village, populated with only a few slaves and caretakers when hit by a pyroclastic flow that covered the town to a depth of six meters, preserving it. Wonderful mosaics, frescoes and statues. Photographers will enjoy the subjects of buildings, streets, art, and houses. Do not suggest a tripod, my DSLR with a zoom lens was all I needed. Some rooms are dark, so anticipate using a high ISO. Take shots from the rim above before walking through the tunnel to be in the village. Then you will use the wide-angle a lot.

If you are staying on the island for more than just a few days, I strongly recommend a full day at sea. We begin our day at sea ; you wake up at a leisurely hour and make your way to "Bar Gabbiano" in Marina grande, our meeting point in Capri. Once we have rounded Tiberius' Leap, we'll stop to visit the Grotta Bianca and have a nice long swim beneath the Faraglioni Rocks. for lunch: I can take you to one of the many waterfront restaurants along the coast ,including the La Fontelina beach club with a view of the Faraglioni, Torre Saracena in Marina Piccola, or Il Riccio, situated near the Blue Grotto. Enjoy the afternoon on board, relaxing and enjoying the sea and all the other grottos! Entrance to blue grotto is not included in the tour price.

Inclusions: included: english speaking skipper, water, towels, a taster of limoncello

Exclusions: blue grotto, costs €14 to enter - this is not included in the tour

After a recommendation from a friend we went with Giannis Boats for a 3 hour tour around the island of Capri, and it was absolutely amazing! Our caption, Marco, made it an even better experience offering drinks, taking pictures and showing the best caves for stunning swims. The island is best seen from the water, and overall it was an unforgettable trip, would recommend everyone visiting Capri for a day or a few to take this tour!

Me and my partner took part in this cooking class, even though we had many notions about cooking, and we loved it. The hosts were super friendly, and they showed us how to prepare proper Italian fresh pasta. They even gave us their original recipes, so that we can replicate them at home. We also tried some exquisite cheese, charcuterie and wines, which were all produced in the farmhouse. I would strongly recommend it!!

The easiest-to-handle tour because it gives most of the site’s impressions in just two hours. If you are in Naples area and you still have some time left before you leave, a visit in Pompeii can be your best choice. During this tour you will be guided through the maze of streets and buildings which were destroyed overnight by the huge 79 AD eruption and covered by a thick layer of ashes and pumices until their excavations in modern times. The guide will show you the best highlights like the Forum – the main square of the city – the main houses and buildings. You’ll also stop and see the plaster casts – the dead bodies of the Pompeiians emerged by the excavations.

Inclusions: Guidance and assistance by an Archaeologist , Private Tour

Exclusions: Pompeii entrance ticket, Any kind of transportation

Our private boat tour of Capri with Nico was definitely the highlight of our trip! The boat was luxurious, clean and comfortable and you can swim as you wish, take pictures and play your own music via bluetooth. Nico was a great host, as he is very knowledgeable and welcoming. Organising was really easy and there was superb service both before and during the excursion. Grazie mille, Nico!

Although our tour was a while ago, recent events underscore the importance of a guide in making a lasting memory. Fabrizio Belleni provided us a most wonderful day of history and culture as we efficiently toured Pompeii and were introduced to the Amalfi Coast. His knowledge and driving skill were matched by a desire to understand our interests and guide us to a wonderful mix of sights, and even a relaxed afternoon coffee by the sea. Recently, as the pandemic raised concerns for people we know around the world, we thought of Fabrizio and checked to see how he was doing. This reminded us of how important he was (and continues to be) – to our family’s memory of one great day! Fabrizio is missing in this photo, because he took the picture.
