Tours in Italy

It looks to me the Walks of Italy has you pretty much covered, except for Capri. They offer a selection of tours in each city you mentioned, cooking classes , and a tour from Rome to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast. I believe you would be hard pressed to visit Naples, Pompeii, and Capri in one day, but others here might have more insight into that. They give a 10%discount to Rick Steves readers, and I think you might get a discount for booking multiple tours with them. They have a US number on their website.

Great thanks! Yes I was thinking if we did a day tour to Pompeii and the coast in one day and then did Naples and Capri a different day. Any insight to just take the train to Naples ourself and then find a tour once we get there?

For a great cooking class: we had a fantastic experience with Chef Andrea Consoli at cookingclassesinrome.com in the Trastevere neighborhood. Location was very easy to reach, hopping a tram; our hotel was near the Pantheon.

You can combine Naples and Pompeii in a day. You can go with Walks of Italy or on your own. If on your own, go to Pompeii when it opens and ideally have a private guide. Gaetano Manfredi (rec by Rick Steves) is the best! After the tour, head to Naples for a quick self-tour using the one in the Rick Steves guide. Capri will take you most of a day with the ferry to-and-from. In fact from Rome, Capri would be a challenging day. It is more easily done from Sorrento as a base. If you have to make a choice, skip Capri.
