The Tomb of the Diver, one of the museum's centerpieces, is among the best-preserved painted tombs in Campania.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want an archaeologist's reading of the temples rather than a general overview — the guide unpacks the architecture, the religious context and the painted tombs so the 2,500-year history becomes legible instead of just visible. The private format and fixed language choice mean you're not moving with a larger group or waiting for translation.
Amalfi to Naples: Private Mercedes Transfer & Airport PickupYou're picked up at your Amalfi hotel by an English-speaking driver in a private Mercedes, travel 2.5 hours to Naples airport, train station, or hotel with Wi-Fi and climate control, and arrive with your luggage handled and your departure sorted.

Positano Sunrise Boat Tour: Sea Light ExperienceA private sunrise boat tour from Positano takes you out on a traditional gozzo before daylight, anchoring offshore to watch the sun rise over the coast and Praiano. The boat carries water, coffee, croissants, brioche and bread; the guide speaks English, Spanish or Italian. The tour runs two hours and suits all fitness levels, with wheelchair access and space for infants.Is it for me?The early start—you board before sunrise—is what puts you offshore when the light breaks, so the moment the sun clears the mountain is the moment you're floating in front of it. If you want to see the Amalfi Coast lit by first light rather than midday sun, this timing is the only way to get it.
