Details

The Amalfi Coast, stretching along Italy’s southwestern shore of the Sorrentine Peninsula, is a rugged stretch of dramatic cliffs and sparkling Mediterranean waters. Based in Napoli, Visit Amalfi Coast offers a full-day private tour through three of its most captivating towns—Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello—each distinct yet united by breathtaking coastal views and a rich heritage. This tour invites travelers to step beyond busy group tours and savor an intimate, personalized journey guided by a knowledgeable private driver, who shares insider stories and local highlights throughout the day.

Positano’s steep, lemon-scented streets spill down toward the sea, where colorful homes cling to cliffs lined with pine and olive trees. Amalfi, once a powerful maritime republic, showcases a blend of history and vibrant culture anchored by its imposing cathedral and lively piazzas. Up above, Ravello beckons with terraced gardens and panoramic vistas that command views over the Amalfi coastline with the Tyrrhenian Sea sparkling beneath.

This trip stands out by combining natural geological wonders—including sheer volcanic cliffs and sea caves hidden along the shore—with rich cultural narratives rooted in centuries-old architecture and traditions. The Mediterranean flora is lush but resilient, with fragrant herbs and bright bougainvillea adding bursts of color against ancient stone.

Offering more than just sightseeing, Visit Amalfi Coast crafts an experience that balances relaxation with discovery, reflecting the Italian ethos of “la dolce vita.” It’s an essential choice for travelers who want to handily navigate one of Italy’s most stunning coastlines with ease and personal care, ensuring every moment feels both effortless and special.

Napoli’s proximity makes it an ideal base to embark on this journey, blending urban energy with the tranquility of the sea and hillsides beyond.

Adventure Tips

Wear comfortable shoes
