Itinerary
Meet your guide at Iamme Ia! - Gray Line Amalfi Coast Office
Experience a breathtaking drive along the Amalfi Coast Road, widely considered one of the most beautiful coastal routes in the world. As our professional driver navigates the dramatic cliffs and winding curves, you’ll enjoy unparalleled views of the turquoise Tyrrhenian Sea. We will include a dedicated photo stop at a panoramic viewpoint, allowing you to capture the stunning scenery without the stress of driving.
Gaze out at the enchanting Li Galli archipelago, a cluster of tiny private islands steeped in Greek mythology. Known as the legendary home of the Sirens who once tempted Ulysses, these emerald jewels rising from the sea offer one of the most iconic views of the coast. Your guide will share the fascinating stories and celebrity history linked to this mysterious corner of paradise.
Arrive in Positano, the 'Vertical City' famous for its colorful houses clinging to the mountainside. After a brief guided walking tour through the charming, narrow alleys, you will have ample free time to explore the city at your own pace
Visit on your free time this iconic landmark to admire its stunning majolica-tiled dome and the Byzantine Madonna.
Take a stroll along the famous pebbled shore, the social heart of Positano, perfect for photos or a refreshing dip.
To conclude your Positano experience, we’ll leave the crowds behind and board a boat to Amalfi. This scenic ferry ride offers the best perspective of the coast—seeing the colorful villages from the sea is a perspective most travelers miss! (Shared group option only)
Step ashore in Amalfi, the historic heart of the coast and once a powerful Maritime Republic. Wander through its labyrinth of medieval alleys and sun-drenched plazas. You’ll have time to explore the city's rich heritage, from its ancient paper-making traditions to the vibrant shops lining the main street, all while surrounded by the dramatic limestone cliffs that embrace the town.
Dominating the main square is the magnificent Amalfi Cathedral (Duomo di Sant'Andrea). Marvel at its iconic monumental staircase and the stunning 19th-century mosaic facade that glitters in the sun. This architectural masterpiece features a unique blend of Moorish and Romanesque styles—don’t miss the chance to see the Cloister of Paradise and the crypt dedicated to St. Andrew.
After exploring the wonders of Amalfi, we’ll board the bus once again and wind our way up the hillside. Get ready to reach Ravello, a sophisticated retreat perched high above the sea, far from the bustling coastal crowds. Known as the 'City of Music,' this peaceful hilltop village is world-famous for its lush gardens and aristocratic villas.
Ravello is a sanctuary of Mediterranean beauty, characterized by its quiet luxury and impeccable architecture. Beyond the famous vistas, the town invites you to explore its Romanesque treasures and hidden garden paths lined with fragrant jasmine and bougainvillea. It is the ultimate destination for those seeking a peaceful corner of paradise and a true taste of the Italian 'Dolce Vita'.
During your free time in Ravello, we highly recommend a visit to Villa Rufolo. Its breathtaking terrace offers what many consider the most spectacular panoramic view over the entire Gulf of Salerno.
As the afternoon winds down, relax on a scenic drive back to Sorrento. Sit back and enjoy the final coastal views from the comfort of your air-conditioned coach, reflecting on a day filled with the history, colors, and unforgettable landscapes of the Amalfi Coast.

Perfect day, good value for money. Sergio-the guide was amazing, also the trip was well organized and we saw many things, it would have been impossible to see them all by ourselves in just a day. He showed us a restaurant where to eat in amalfi, best paste bolognese ever.. and good price. It is our last day and it was a great experience to close our visit in italy. Unfortunately it was very hot and the sun very strong (july in italy, it was expected) so have your sun hats and sunscreen with you. We left at around 8,30 and will be back in sorrento around 5-5,30
Wonderful tour, our guide was great he stopped everywhere he thought we needed a picture of. We booked this tour with a private driver, he even took us to a local resturant and he waited for us to complete our meal and walk around Ravello. We went all around the Amalfi Coast, such beautiful scenery and place to stay. This was our last leg of month long trip and unfortunately we started getting colds, not feeling 100%.
We took this day trip on June 17, 2026 the whole experience from the morning till the evening was amazing. My contact Miriam at Iamme Ia Gray Line Amalfi Coast, was so helpful and professional with all our booking needs and suggestions. Our guide Roberto (Robby) was very informative, knowledgeable, funny, and professional, always keeping the group engaged and never a dull moment.. Amalfi Coast, Positano and Ravello had the best sights the boat tour was just as amazing, we had the most amazing pictures and memories to last a lifetime.. Our driver Giovanni was an excellent calm and professional driver navigating those narrow curvy and busy streets with such ease and calmness, thank you Giovanni, and thank you Miriam, Robby and the whole Iamme ia Team. Thank you, Thank you, cant wait to go back to Sorrento!
Absolutely fabulous day. Well worth the money. Our tour guide Nello and coach driver Chiros were amazing and went the extra mile to make our day as comfortable as possible when we docked in Amalfi in the middle of a storm.
Great experience Anita was the best!!
Was overall a fine experience! Our guide and driver were amazing! Our guide was funny! Was a lot of time spent in transfers and we just wish we had more time in each location rather than spending it transferring.
Great day out, visiting 3 places Possitano, Amalfi and Revello. The guide was friendly and helpful. Would recommend.
We had a great guide - Patrick and a great driver. They showed us so many incredible things and made great suggestions to make our experience great
It was great day,we really enjoyed every minute.Our guide Patrick did great job.highly recommended!!
Fran was a great tour guide with a funny sense of humor and always willing to help you grab those group photos. The bus ride can be interesting but good thing they are in relatively short spurts. Great experience and would do it again in cooler weather.
