About this tour
A 12-hour private drive from Rome to the Amalfi Coast, visiting the clifftop towns of Positano and Amalfi. Your own English-speaking driver collects you from your hotel and handles the winding coastal roads, leaving you free to absorb the dramatic scenery, stop for photos, and explore at your own pace. Bring an appetite—the region's seafood and local pasta are worth savouring, though meals aren't included. The route is flexible; discuss priorities with your driver beforehand.
Highlights
- Positano's pastel buildings tumbling down cliffs to turquoise water
- Winding Amalfi Drive with pullouts for photographs
- Medieval town of Amalfi, historic lemon-growing hub
- Hotel-to-hotel transport, no public transport hassle
- Customisable stops based on your interests
- Private vehicle and driver for the full day
What to expect
Expect a 2–2.5 hour drive south from Rome, followed by several hours exploring the two towns on foot. Positano is compact and steep; comfortable shoes are essential. Amalfi is larger and less vertical, with harbourside cafés and a cathedral worth seeing. The coastal road itself is narrow and twisting but stunning—your driver knows it well. You'll have breathing room to wander, shop, or sit by the water. Return to Rome takes another 2–2.5 hours. There's no guide, so bring a guidebook or do research beforehand if you want historical context.
Good to know
Meals are your responsibility; budget for lunch at waterfront restaurants (pricey but worthwhile). Wear trainers with good grip for steep pavements. Bring a hat and sunscreen. Strollers and child seats are available. Mobile signal can be patchy in some spots. Book ahead to confirm hotel pickup time.
