Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Naples from the Amalfi Coast?
The Amalfi Coast begins approximately 50 kilometers south of Naples. The drive to Positano takes roughly 1.5 hours due to the winding coastal road. The scenery along the way is spectacular.
Is the Amalfi Coast road suitable for large groups?
The Amalfi Coast road is narrow and winding. For larger groups we use appropriately sized vehicles that can safely navigate the road. Please ensure your group size is accurate at booking so we can arrange the right vehicle.
Can we stop for lunch on the Amalfi Coast?
Yes - your driver-guide will recommend a stop for lunch at a local restaurant with views of the coast. Lunch is not included in the tour price but your guide can suggest the best options for your group.
What happens if we're running late getting back to the ship in Naples?
Yes, and it's built into every Naples tour we run -- the Back-to-Ship Guarantee. If a delay caused by our tour operator keeps you from returning to the ship on time, we'll arrange and cover your transportation to catch up with the ship at its next port of call. To qualify, your tour needs to be scheduled to return at least 1.5 hours before the ship's departure, and you'll need to be back at the vehicle for every agreed meeting time during the day.
What's the deposit for a Naples shore excursion?
Booking a Naples tour requires a $50 deposit up front. The remaining balance is due 30 days before your tour date. If your plans change, that deposit isn't refundable, but it stays on your account as credit toward any tour for up to 3 years. Larger groups, custom itineraries, or tours involving flights or overnight stays may carry a bigger deposit and their own terms, which we'll spell out at booking.
Can I get a refund if I cancel my Naples tour?
As long as you cancel your Naples tour 15 days or more in advance, you get a refund minus $50. Inside 14 days of the tour date, cancellations become non-refundable. One exception: if your ship simply doesn't call at Naples because of weather, mechanical issues, or political unrest, you'll get a full refund less the $50 fee. All cancellation requests need to be submitted in writing by email.
How do I find my driver when I arrive in Naples?
Cruise Ship: When you get off the ship in Naples, look for the terminal's main public exit. If a terminal building is present, go through arrivals to the outdoor pickup area -- cruise staff will help direct you. If not, your driver will be waiting right on the dock. Can't find your contact? Stay near where you exited and call the local dispatch number on your confirmation.
Hotel: Look for your driver or guide right outside the main entrance or in the lobby -- they'll be holding a sign with your group name.
Airport: Once you've collected your luggage and cleared customs, head into the arrivals hall -- your driver or guide will be there holding a sign with your group name.
Do I need to pay separately for admission tickets on my Naples tour?
You'll find entrance fees bundled in for Naples tours where the tour page states it. Keep in mind some venues require timed, skip-the-line tickets that become non-refundable the moment they're purchased. We'll flag any non-refundable entrance fees for you at booking.
Can we add a stop to our Naples tour that isn't on the standard itinerary?
That's the advantage of going private in Naples -- the day can adjust to you. Mention any must-see sight to your driver or guide at pickup, and they'll do their best to work it in. Traffic and time constraints can occasionally limit how much we can change, but your guide will always try to keep things personal.
