About this tour
A 10–12 hour private drive from Rome whisks you south to Italy's most photogenic coastline. You'll traverse the winding cliffs and pastel villages of the Amalfi Coast, moving between Positano's stacked houses, Amalfi town's cathedral, and Ravello's hilltop terraces. A personal guide navigates you through each stop while your air-conditioned car handles the lengthy journey. Most of the day comprises travel; plan meals independently.
Highlights
- Positano's vertical village tumbling towards turquoise water
- Amalfi town's cathedral and medieval piazza
- Ravello's lemon groves and clifftop viewpoints
- Tyrrhenian Sea vistas along serpentine mountain roads
- Private vehicle avoids coach-tour crowds
- WiFi onboard for journey downtime
What to expect
Expect five to six hours of driving in both directions from Rome. Your guide will choreograph brief stops at key villages—typically 45 minutes to two hours per location, depending on group pace. Positano rewards wandering through narrow streets and harbourside cafés. Amalfi's main square offers respite and architectural interest. Ravello sits highest, offering gardens and sweeping vistas, though the walk uphill is manageable. The coastal road curves sharply; motion-sensitive travellers should take precautions. No meals are arranged, so budget for lunch and refreshments at village restaurants.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes; cobblestones dominate. The drive is strenuous for those with back or heart conditions, or pregnancy. Bring water and sun protection. Book lunch ahead in summer to avoid queues. Public transport exists locally if you want to skip the return drive.
