About this tour
A private seven to eight-hour drive along Italy's Amalfi Coast, departing from Naples and timed to get you back to your cruise ship. Your driver takes you through Positano and Praiano with optional access to the Emerald Grotto by boat, past Furore's dramatic fjord inlet, into Amalfi's Arab-Norman cathedral and medieval streets, and up to Ravello's Villa Rufolo with its clifftop gardens overlooking the sea. Stops are flexible, letting you move at your own pace through one of Europe's most visually stunning coastlines.
Highlights
- Emerald Grotto sea cave accessible by wooden boat
- Furore's rare fjord carved into the cliffs
- Amalfi's ninth-century cathedral with Arab-Norman design
- Medieval shopping streets and waterfront atmosphere
- Villa Rufolo gardens perched above the coastline
- Air-conditioned vehicle with refreshments included
What to expect
You'll spend the morning and early afternoon winding through the dramatic coastal road with your private driver. The route is scenic but occasionally narrow and curvy—bring motion-sickness tablets if prone. At each stop, you decide the length of your stay: fifteen minutes to two hours. The Emerald Grotto requires a short boat transfer (not included in tour cost). Amalfi town is lively with shops and cafés but can feel crowded in peak season. Ravello sits high above, so you'll climb steep streets to reach Villa Rufolo's gardens; wear comfortable shoes. Allow time to simply stand and absorb the views—they're genuinely worth it.
Good to know
Book lunch beforehand or eat in Amalfi itself; no meals are provided. Wear sun protection and bring walking shoes suitable for uneven medieval streets. Parking is covered. The driver will confirm your ship departure time to ensure you're back on schedule.
