Culturally rich with historic treasures that date back millennia to the days of the Greeks and Romans,

Museum, whose exhibits include ancient mosaics found under the ashes of Mt. Vesuvius. Then a late-
morning walking tour leads you through the “Spaccanapoli” – the narrow, "split" backstreets that cut
Naples in two – where the character of the Old Town comes alive in alleyways lined with artisan
workshops, cafés, squares, ancient churches, merchants’ shops and balconied apartments where
neighbors greet passers by. Stop for lunch at a local restaurant renowned for its pizza – a dish which is
said to have been invented in Naples. The rest of the day is free to explore as you wish, with many
restaurants conveniently located steps from your hotel, for dinner as you please.

The official currency in Italy is the Euro. In Italy, travelers’ checks are becoming increasingly unpopular.
Most reputable establishments will accept major credit cards. The Automatic Teller Machines (ATM's) in
Italy are known as Bancomats, and they are widespread. Using a credit card, or even better, a debit
card or your local bank ATM card, is very easy. If you are unsure about the compatibility or the banking
systems, contact the bank or institution that issued your card. The Bancomat will dispense Euro. Many
banks are now charging large fees of 2.5% to 4% for cash advances on credit cards which negates any
advantage of using the Bancomat in the first place. We advise that you use your regular ATM card and
simply withdraw money from your account just as you would do at your local bank.

To obtain the most current exchange rates for all national currencies, you may want to check your local
newspaper or log on to the website, oanda.com, by clicking here.

All customary gratuities for hotel and restaurant staff and local guides and drivers are included.

Tour prices are per person. All hotel accommodations, motor coach transportation, entertainment,

furnished us with accurate flight information at least three weeks prior to the start of the tour. If you
are arriving into another local train station please retain a receipt for your transfer and submit it to your
Tour Director for reimbursement. Transportation from the Hotel Santa Clara to Naples Airport or Central
Train Station is also included when you check out of the hotel. Transportation to and from airports and
train stations may be shared with other Tauck guests.

To avoid jet lag and possible flight delays, you may wish to make hotel arrangements for the nights
preceding or following your tour or cruise. As a service, we will book additional nights for you on a
