About this tour
This 8-hour guided tour traces the dramatic coastline south from Sorrento, stopping in three distinct villages along the Amalfi Coast. You'll have stretches of unscheduled time in Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello to wander the narrow streets, grab lunch, or simply sit with a view. A driver handles the winding roads while a guide points out the geography and history. The itinerary hits the major sights—a cathedral, a villa garden—but leaves room for your own discoveries.
Highlights
- Positano's pastel-painted cliffside village and pebble beach
- St. Andrew's Cathedral in Amalfi town, with Byzantine bronze doors
- Villa Rufolo's terraced gardens overlooking the sea
- Hairpin coastal roads with pull-outs for photographs
- Independent exploration time in each village
- Private transport with professional driver and guide
What to expect
Expect a leisurely pace with frequent stops for views and photos as you traverse the famous switchbacks connecting the three villages. In Positano, you'll have time to walk down to the beach or browse the boutiques lining the main drag. Amalfi offers the cathedral as a focal point, plus cafés and gelaterie for breaks. Ravello sits inland on a clifftop; the villa and its gardens are the draw, though the town itself merits a stroll. The drive itself is the experience—sheer drops, tight turns, and Mediterranean light. Wear comfortable shoes for steep village streets.
Good to know
Roads are narrow and winding; motion sickness tablets helpful for sensitive travellers. Bring sun protection and water. Lunch is on your own in each village—budget accordingly. Prams manageable in Amalfi and Ravello, trickier on Positano's steep lanes. Wear sturdy footwear.
