About this tour
This 10–12 hour excursion whisks you from Rome southbound to Italy's most dramatic coastline in a small minivan. You'll stop at Vico Equense, then spend meaningful time in the clifftop village of Positano—famous for its stacked pastel buildings and steep streets—before visiting Amalfi itself, where medieval maritime history and traditional crafts come alive. A tour assistant shepherds the group of up to seven, and the day wraps with tastings of local Limoncello and pastries.
Highlights
- Vico Equense: gateway views between mountains and Tyrrhenian Sea
- Positano's vertical houses and winding alleys, perfect for wandering
- Self-directed time to eat, shop ceramics, or rest on beach
- Amalfi Cathedral and the town's historic paper-making heritage
- Regional tastings: Limoncello, Babà, Sfogliatella pastries
- Air-conditioned minivan with dedicated tour support throughout
What to expect
You'll depart Rome early with hotel collection and a scenic breakfast break. The drive down winds through the Campania region toward the sea. At Vico Equense, you stop to photograph the landscape; it's your introduction to the coast's scale. Positano comes next—prepare for steep pavements, narrow shops, and beaches tucked beneath coloured buildings. You have hours here to choose your own rhythm: eat at a trattoria, browse artisan stalls, or simply sit by the water. Amalfi follows, a working town rather than pure spectacle, with its cathedral and small museums. Before the return journey to Rome, you taste Limoncello and eat pastries, a proper send-off to the region.
Good to know
Bring comfortable walking shoes; both villages involve hills and stairs. Lunch isn't included, though Positano and Amalfi have plenty of affordable options. The route includes several hours' driving, so it suits those comfortable with travel time. Prams and infant seats are available if needed.
