That’s us in the photo above during our last tour to the Amalfi Coast prior to the pandemic, with picturesque Positano in the background! This incredible tour includes Naples, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Vesuvius, the Isle of Capri, Sorrento, and the Amalfi Coast. It is one of our most requested tours of all time, and we are thrilled to be offering it once again over the Memorial Day weekend next year. Come with us and you will understand why it is so popular with the Toto Tours crowd! Click here for full details.

Naples and Surrounds

Our tour begins in the historic city of Naples, which boasts incredible museums and imposing buildings. Towering over the horizon is Mount Vesuvius which created the frozen-in-time museums of Pompeii and Herculaneum, which we visit in a full-day excursion from the city. You’ll want to arrive early to soak up more of the atmosphere of this city!

The Isle of Capri

A hydrofoil whisks us across the Gulf of Naples to the Isle of Capri. During the day it is full of short-term visitors, but we are staying for two nights so we experience an entirely different side of Capri. In the evening, after the last day-trippers leave, a kind of exclusive peace settles over the island as those who are privileged to be staying here emerge for their evening stroll, or to sip drinks on the famous square, the Piazzetta. (Seen here: The “Mama Mia” bridge to Anacapri and the stunning colors inside the Blue Grotto)

The Amalfi Coast

Thrill to one of the world’s most scenic drives - the Amalfitana - passing between sea and mountains on a road carved out of the sheer rock. This coast was named on UNESCO’s list of World Heritage in 1997. We visit the towns of Ravello, Positano and Amalfi among others during our three-night stay among these amazing seaside towns. We return to Naples for our farewell festivities.

TIME AND TIDE WAIT FOR NO MAN . . .

Flowing Gently with Life

Toto Tours is celebrating its 35th Anniversary in 2025, and it has been my privilege to bring this company into existence and to share so many life-changing experiences with all of you over these decades. This passion for travel has been my true calling in life, but now I need to heed other calls from my family and friends and from my own body and spirit.

I will be hanging up my Ruby Slippers at the conclusion of our final tour next year. Toto Tours may very well continue on, with me in an advisory role for a short time after that. Details are still being ironed out and I’ll keep you posted. The upcoming tours represent our best chance to say farewell to each other in person. I hope you will travel with me at least one more time before the end of next year.

This decision feels absolutely right for me, and it brings me great peace of mind. I recognize the truth of impermanence - nothing lasts forever - and I want to exit gracefully while I still have my full faculties and so much more living to do. Please join me in celebrating the beauty of the full circle of life.

With love and gratitude, Dan Ware

Please Note: If you have any outstanding credits with Toto Tours from pandemic-cancelled tours, you need to use those before the end of 2025.
