Ravello, Positano and Herculaneum from Naples port

[jjjet]

We are on the NCL Epic in March and after much researching, decided on Ravello, Positano and Herculaneum. Ravello is quite far from Naples so I had contacted four different private tour companies about my intended itinerary. I did realize that it would be a lot of driving, but I really wanted to visit the town and especially the Villa Cimbrone. I found Rosato Private Tours and found the emailing process was easy and Vittorio was willing to take us wherever we wanted to go.

 

On the day we arrived in Naples, it was pouring rain (BooHoo). Vittorio was there waiting for our family outside the port building. His vehicle was very nice and clean, there were 5 of us. What a nice guy he is, he was our favourite tour guide of our whole cruise. It was very rainy but traffic wasn't too bad. We went Positano first and went all the way down to the beach(Vittorio had umbrellas for us), very pretty but quite a downpour. He then drove us to Ravello and we headed up to the Villa Cimbrone, so rainy but we were the only ones there so it was kind of magical. Ravello is gorgeous - must see if you are willing to go that far. Then we headed to Herculaneum and only had 1 1/4 there but unless you are going to spend the whole day (you easily could) we walked through it all and were incredibly in awe at the condition of the ruins. We raced back to Naples for a slice of Napoli Pizza down by the castle d'ovell - we devoured 3 pizzas - and quickly explored the castle.

 

We did lots of walking that day as the places we saw were walking access only. Vittorio was always nearby and we wasted no time getting from place to place. He covered our itinerary perfectly and I think he was a delightful and eager young guide that grew up in the area and had many interesting stories to tell. It was very disappointing about the rain but we will always remember Vittorio and his Custom Amalfi Coast Tour. I found him on TripAdvisor, he had a great rating.

We spent 2 days with Vittorio while in Naples on a cruise ship. The first day we went to a Buffalo Mozzarella Cheese Factory and to Paestum. The other day we went to an Olive Oil making place.

 

We had a fabulous time both days....the Buffalo Mozzarella was SO delicious and Paestum was amazing.

We tasted 35 different olive oils that were great...and then we made Gnocchi and ate lunch with a local family in Sorrento. This was the highlight of our tour!!

Franco and his family were so warm and welcoming and we all laughed and had a fantastic time.

We would highly recommend Rosato Tours and Vittorio.

We would not hesitate to use them again when we return to Naples!!
