About this tour

What to expect
You'll start with a scenic drive south from Salerno, arriving in Positano mid-morning. The town clings to steep cliffs; expect narrow lanes and uneven terrain as you browse local ceramics and linen shops, with optional beach time. After an hour or so, you'll head to Amalfi, where the cathedral's ornate bronze doors and cloister invite a slower pace. Your driver will navigate to Ravello last—a climb inland but worth it for the twin villas' manicured terraces and views stretching to the sea. The entire route is a mix of short drives and walking.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes with grip for steep, sometimes slippery cobbles. Bring sunscreen and a hat; shade is limited in village centres. Breakfast and lunch aren't included, so plan café stops or picnic supplies. Strollers and infant seats are available; the route is manageable for families with young children.
