About this tour
An eight-hour private tour tracing the Amalfi Coast's most celebrated villages. Start in hilltop Ravello exploring Villa Cimbrone's sweeping sea-facing gardens and the cathedral, then descend to Amalfi town to visit the Duomo and delve into the region's papermaking heritage at the Paper Museum. Transport, fuel and parking included; pace yourself between guided stops and independent exploration.
Highlights
- Villa Cimbrone's panoramic gardens overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea
- Ravello's medieval squares and narrow stone passageways
- Amalfi's 9th-century cathedral with Arab-Norman architecture
- Paper Museum tracing centuries of local craft tradition
- Villa Rufolo, venue for the annual Ravello Festival
- Free time for independent wandering and shopping
What to expect
The day splits between two coastal settlements. In Ravello, you'll walk cobbled lanes before entering Villa Cimbrone's baroque grounds—the vistas alone justify the visit. After exploring the cathedral at your own pace, you can opt for Villa Rufolo if time allows. The drive down to Amalfi itself is dramatic; the town sprawls around its Duomo, an architectural blend of Norman and Saracenic styles. The Paper Museum reveals how artisans transformed mulberry bark into premium sheets for centuries. Expect moderate walking on uneven terrain; wear sturdy shoes.
Good to know
Private car and driver handles all logistics. Bring sun protection and comfortable walking shoes. The route involves steep climbs in both villages. Infants travel on laps; public transport alternatives exist nearby if needed.
