About this tour
A 5–6 hour coastal drive from Sorrento that traces the dramatic cliffs and pastel villages of the Amalfi coastline. Your driver collects you from your accommodation and guides you through the landscape with stops for photography and local context. Spend an hour exploring Positano's steep streets and beach bars, then continue to Amalfi itself. Optional detours include the ceramics workshops dotted along the route, famous for hand-painted majolica. You return to Sorrento at day's end.
Highlights
- Steep-sided Positano: one hour to wander independently
- Photography stops with driver commentary en route
- Amalfi's seafront cathedral and lemon-scented squares
- Ceramic studio visits if time and interest allow
- Air-conditioned private transport throughout
What to expect
Your driver arrives at your hotel or B&B to begin the journey. The road hugs the coastline, with several pullouts for photos and brief explanations of the landscape and villages ahead. Positano is your main stop—steep pedestrian alleys, boutiques, and waterfront cafés fill an hour here; wear comfortable shoes for the inclines. Amalfi follows, another village of white stone and winding streets centred around its cathedral. If ceramics interest you, your driver can stop at workshops; these visits are unguided and at your own pace. The return journey retraces the coast back to Sorrento.
Good to know
Lunch and entrance fees are not included; cafés line both villages. Infants travel free in prams or provided car seats. The winding coastal road suits those with reasonable fitness; those with heart or mobility concerns should discuss suitability beforehand.
