TakeYourGuide is an app from NapolinVespa Tour, a leading tour operator in the organisation of guided Vespa, Fiat 500 and Ape Calessino tours of Naples, Amalfi Coast, Pompeii and Vesuvius, which now turns its gaze to the entire country. With the TakeYourGuide mobile app, you can purchase a tourist itinerary developed by our experts and follow it easily on the map thanks to the navigator integrated with the GPS of your smartphone. At each stop you can listen to our multilingual audio guide and consult all the multimedia material. You will be able to choose all-inclusive packages or customise your experience step by step with one of our additional services (tastings, lunches, aperitifs, cooking classes, entrance to craft workshops, etc.). You can select a walking tour or choose one of our vehicles (with or without driver) but you can also purchase just the itinerary if you prefer to use your own vehicle. The app will help you stay on schedule by telling you if you are late or early. 24 hours before departure you will be able to download all the details of your tour, which can then be viewed offline. So don't worry about international roaming costs during your tour. With the TakeYourGuide app, your tour is organised as if you were accompanied by an experienced local guide, but you are always free to spend as much time as you wish on the individual stops. It not only provides information about the route and places of interest but also organises your experience from start to finish. Our hotline operators will help you if you encounter an unforeseen situation during the tour. What are you waiting for, TakeYourGuide and go!
