About this tour
An eight-hour private tour from Sorrento down the Amalfi Coast in a Mercedes van with an English-speaking driver. You'll stop in Positano's clifftop village, explore Amalfi's town centre with its maritime heritage, then drive up to Ravello for its quieter appeal and coastal vistas. The route traces one of Europe's most dramatic coastlines, with views toward Mount Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples. Hotel pickup and drop-off included; lunch and attraction fees separate.

- Private Mercedes van with English-speaking driver throughout

- Amalfi's cathedral, medieval streets, and working waterfront
- Ravello's quieter hilltop setting with panoramic terraces
- Winding coastal road engineering with Bay of Naples backdrop
- Pickup and return to your Sorrento accommodation
What to expect
Expect a full day of driving and stopping rather than structured activities. The Mercedes handles the serpentine coastal road smoothly, though it does twist considerably. You'll have time to wander each village on foot—perhaps an hour or two in each—but the emphasis is on scenery from the road and vantage points rather than guided tours. Bring a camera for the hairpin bends and sea views. Lunch happens on your own dime in whichever town appeals; most visitors eat in Amalfi or Positano. The return to Sorrento follows the same route in reverse, arriving late afternoon.
Good to know
Tour suits all fitness levels since you're mostly in or near the van. Wheelchair and pram-friendly throughout. The road itself is narrow and winding—fine for modern cars but worth knowing if prone to motion sickness. Villa Rufolo (€5) and the cathedral (€3) are optional paid extras not covered. Lunch is your responsibility; budget accordingly.
