Full-Day Amalfi Coast Experience from Sorrento, Naples or Salerno
Description
The Amalfi Coast can be complicated and time-consuming to visit on your own. Taking a shared minivan or minibus is the simplest and most affordable way to enjoy the sights. This eight/nine-hour trip begins in Sorrento, Naples, Salerno and heads south for the breathtaking drive (lightly narrated by your driver-or narrated by your guide), and an hour or two in each of the three main towns - Positano, Amalfi and Ravello - before returning to Sorrento, Naples, Salerno.

Itinerary
Positano, the most picturesque town of the Amalfi Coast resembles a waterfall cascading down to the sea. Visitors descend narrow pathways, perusing artisan workshops offering ceramics, fabled lemon products, and the distinct local style of dress.
The gem of Amalfi is the oldest of Italy’s maritime republics. Whitewashed homes dotting the hillside are illuminated by the abundant sunshine that bathes the city. The basilica’s cupola is a reference to the Sicilian -Arabic influence that once dominated the area. For centuries it has been a popular destination due to its natural beauty and ideal climate.
Ravello and its noble villas keep alive the grandeur of a bygone era. Perched high on a hillside plateau, Ravello has stunning views of the Amalfi coastline, overlooking Minori, Maiori, and beyond. Immortalized in the films of Roberto Rossellini, the city of Ravello seduces its visitors with its contrast of opulent colours and displays of luxury and the absolute tranquillity that pervades it.

Our private driver, Alberto was wonderful. He was very prompt, polite, a great driver, and very knowledgeable of the region. He provided valuable recommendations at our stops to maximize our time wisely. Highly recommend!!
Alfonso was an absolutely delightful guide on the road to and through Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello. He told us the "true" story with all the behind-the-scenes info that really added color to these (let's face it) touristy areas. We had such a great group (8 total) and spent a really fun day together. Alfonso's friendliness, warmth, and knowledge make this a don't miss experience.
Michelline was a wonderful tour guide! Our driver was also terrific navigating a windy and tight road. Fun, informative, smart way to see the Amalfi coast. Well organized and Michelline was well versed in the history and culture of the area. Highly recommended!
Our tour today of the Amalfi coast was outstanding. Our guide Micheline was engaging and so informative. We found her friendly and entertaining. Her passion about the Amalfi Coast showed through her many stories about the area and its people. Smooth pick up from an easy to access location and return was also easy. We enjoyed all three stops with plenty of time in each town for a little shopping and drinks and food. We even got our toes in the water. The driver, Salvatore maneuvered us along the winding roads skillfully and safely. Everyone had a memorable time. Definitely will recommend Mondo Guide to our friends.
We had a great driver Alphonso we learned a lot and were so very thankful that we did not have to drive or park!
If you want to experience the 3 towns of Positano, Amalfi & Ravello and not worry about driving, transportation issues with an amazing guide, this is the tour to take. Our family of 5 with 3 teenage boys had a great time. From the pick up to the drop off, it was amazing. This tour is with a small group of about 20 people. Our guide Micheline was so knowledgeable, funny and excited to talk about the history & the scenery of all 3 towns! You get to spend about an hour to 1.5 hours in each town and free to do whatever you desire. However, the guide can also give you good recommendations. Highly recommend it.
This tour only has a driver, no tour guide. The driver doesn’t speak any English. He just dropped us off at the town. It was self tour on all three towns for 1 hr each. He took us to a nice restaurant for lunch. Every town was packed with people and street vendors. I will avoid this tour if I had known.
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations and appreciate the opportunity to clarify a few important aspects of the tour for future travelers. First and foremost, we agree that the level of English communication provided on that particular day fell below the standard we strive to offer. Clear communication is extremely important, and we understand how this may have affected your overall enjoyment of the experience. We would however like to clarify the format of the excursion that was booked. As clearly stated in the published tour information, departures operating with 6–8 participants are conducted with a professional driver, while larger departures operate with both a driver and a guide accompanying guests throughout the day. The departure in question operated with 7 participants and therefore followed the small-group format described prior to booking. Likewise, the experience is designed to provide guests with free time to independently explore some of the Amalfi Coast's most iconic destinations rather than offering guided walking tours within each town. This allows travelers the flexibility to discover Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello at their own pace, browse local shops, enjoy panoramic viewpoints, relax in cafés, or simply soak in the atmosphere of these world-famous coastal villages. We are pleased to read that one aspect of the day you particularly enjoyed was the restaurant recommended for lunch during the excursion. Regarding the crowds, the Amalfi Coast is one of Italy's most sought-after destinations and attracts visitors from around the world, particularly during peak travel periods. While visitor numbers are unfortunately beyond our control, they are also a reflection of the extraordinary beauty and popularity of this remarkable region. Most importantly, the tour still provided guests with the opportunity to experience the breathtaking scenery of the Amalfi Coast, travel along one of the world's most spectacular coastal roads, and enjoy free time in three of Southern Italy's most celebrated destinations. At Mondo Guide, we continuously review guest feedback and use it to improve our services. While we regret that this experience did not fully meet your expectations, we appreciate your comments and the opportunity to clarify the nature of the tour for future travelers. For those looking to discover the Amalfi Coast in a small-group setting, enjoy spectacular coastal scenery, and explore Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello at their own pace, we would be delighted to welcome you to Italy with Mondo Guide.

It was informative and enjoyable
Yes we very much enjoyed our day. Micheline’s knowledge, enthusiasm, passion and sense of humor made the day even better. Gennaro did a masterful job navigating the small roads and big tourist buses. We felt very secure with him driving. Thank you!
Loved this small group tour to visit the Amalfi coast! Our port was changed from Salerno to Naples the day before we arrived. The company quickly made the change in pick up location for us. Communication was great, texting us the change and even a photo of where to meet our driver. We enjoyed free time at our three stops, Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello. We stopped at a road side lemonade stand, had great photos. Our driver had us back to the ship in plenty of time. Appreciate the small group experience versus that of the large tour buses that you get from the cruise line.
