Instead of taking one of the ships' shore excursions in a bus with 50 other travelers I suggest arranging a private limo tour. In Tuscany I arranged a tour of Chianti (incl a private wine tasting) and some of the hill towns with Francesco Pasqualetti. 8 hours for 400 euros. Write to him at [email protected].
For an 8 hour tour of Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello I highly recommend www.tourofitaly.com. Write to Giancarlo or Giovanni. About 350 euros.
