Pickup is arranged at your Rome hotel or a central meeting point, usually very early in the morning; confirm the exact time and location when you book.
Expect several hours of walking on steep streets and many steps in both Positano and Amalfi; children and those with mobility limits may find sections challenging.
Lunch is not included—there are plenty of cafés and restaurants in Positano and Amalfi; the driver can recommend local options and stop for snacks.
Infants and strollers are accommodated; specialized infant seats are available and the tour notes stroller accessibility, but steep streets limit stroller use once in town.
Amalfi was a powerful maritime republic in the 9th–11th centuries; the coast’s stepped gardens reflect centuries of terraced agriculture on steep limestone slopes.
