About this tour
Travel by Mercedes van from Sorrento along the Amalfi Coast with a small group (max 8 people) visiting three distinct clifftop villages. Spend the morning wandering Positano's stacked pastel architecture and seafront shops, midday exploring Amalfi's cathedral and maritime heritage, then finish in hilltop Ravello where two grand villas open onto terraced gardens and sweeping views across the Tyrrhenian Sea. Eight hours total, departing and returning to Sorrento.
Highlights
- Positano: pastel houses cascading toward turquoise water
- Amalfi Cathedral: 9th-century Byzantine doors and frescoes
- Villa Cimbrone: clifftop gardens with dramatic coastline vistas
- Villa Rufolo: terraced grounds and classical concert venues
- Small-group pace allows lingering, not rushed photo stops
- English-speaking driver navigates hairpin bends and narrow lanes
- Flexible stops at viewpoints and local villages en route
What to expect
The drive itself is an experience—hairpin turns wind through lemon groves and past whitewashed villages. In Positano, budget time to walk the steep lanes (wear sensible shoes) and scout for a quiet café or gelateria. Amalfi town is walkable; the cathedral sits at its heart with narrow shopping streets spreading outward. Ravello sits 365 metres up; both villas charge separate entrance fees and involve moderate walking through gardens. Views reward the climb. Expect fellow travellers from various countries; the van stops at scenic overlooks so you're not confined to each town.
Good to know
Bring comfortable, sturdy footwear—cobblestones are uneven and steep. Sun protection essential. Villas have entrance fees (not included). Lunch and drinks are your responsibility; plan ahead as village restaurants fill quickly. The itinerary suits all fitness levels but involves uphill walking in Ravello. Prams work on main streets; narrower lanes are stroller-challenging.
