Half Day Tour with Driver in Naples
 
Anyone know a company that will pick us up in Pompeii or Naples and give us a four hour tour of Naples to include the museum, the waterfront, different neighborhoods?

I think you will be throwing your money away. Naples cannot be seen (and appreciated) in four hours. You have to go out and visit, sightsee, and digest Naples, like a good wine, to appreciate it. Anything less is for the birds.

Try Vatican Tours and Beyond.

Hi P,

We were pleased with Limousine Service Sorrento (Renato Cuomo)
www.cuomonet.it

Also consider Francesco. He has started his own business. He might give you a better price. http://www.francescomarrapese.com/

Thank you, Waldo. I was stationed in Naples so I know a few things about it and what sections I want to show my husband during this short period of time. At least he'll know a little more about it than he does now.

Thanks for the recommendations on the two companies. I will contact them!

To Postal-
I'm happy that you know Naples. You must realize that it's a complex place. My wife's complete family lives in Naples, and we have been going there for many years. Let's just take one or two examples--If you want your husband to see the most spectacular view he will ever see in his lifetime, and that is the view of the Bay of Naples with Vesuvio in the background, viewed from Via Petrarc, it will take most of your four hours just to partake in this one activity. If you want to view the Bay of Naples from Marechiare, that will also occupy most of your time. I'm assuming you know the areas of which I'm speaking, so I reiterate, seeing Naples in half a day is an exercise in futility. Spend at least two days there.
