Naples, Italy Shore Excursion and Port Information Nancy LaChance Probably our favorite stop and a place where we’d like to return. With new friends we met through this website we hired a private van from sorrentolimo.com and enjoyed a memorable day with our guide, Alfredo, whom I highly recommend. As we drove through Positano in a torrential downpour, we pitied the drenched bus tour folks who had to keep to their group itinerary that included a walk through town. Alfredo was convinced that the weather would improve and recommended that we continue on to Amalfi. The sun greeted us there and we delighted in our exploration of this charming little village perched in the hills, sampling Limoncello from shop to shop. From there we continued on to Ravello where Alberto had made reservations for us a family style restaurant where we enjoyed sharing antipasto, pasta samplers and the house wine. Following our drive down the Amalfi coast we headed to Pompeii where we spent a couple of hours marveling at the ruins of the ancient city that was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD. You can almost see the ghosts of its former residents riding horses, doing their daily chores, luxuriating in the baths. So much of what made up their lives is eerily in tact.
