Dario and Francesca were a great team and created the most relaxing and fun experience for my boyfriend and I. Dario was a safe driver and even through in a surprise stop. Francesca pointed out to us along the way what we were passing and provided history as well. The boat was clean, there was a perfect amount of people onboard and we stopped once to swim. Don’t skip this!!!
The tour was really amazing. Very nice boat. The skipper was extraordinary. Very experienced guy. Our guide, Paola was absolutely wonderful. She’s knowledgeable and very nice. She recommended us a fantastic place to eat at Positano (Buca di Bacco) and she was on point. The attention on-board was very good. We’re very pleased about taking the tour with them. 100% recommended.
Awesome trip and great view from the boat. Just enough time to see the towns and not get bored.
Great trip. Not rushed at all. Professionally run. Great captain - very skilled. Great guide (Ursula) - very pleasant and friendly. 1 hour in Amalfi. 2 hours in Sorrento. About 45 mins swimming? Exactly right for us. Beer, prosecco, soft drinks and fruit served on board included in price (I wasn't expecting / had forgotten this). Honestly loved the day and well worth the price.
We had a wonderful day! Frederica was a wonderful guide and Antonio was a great captain. This is definitely a trip with a lot of time spent on a boat in choppy water so if you are prone to getting seasick this might not be the trip for you. It’s also very heavy on sun without much shade. But we had a blast and got to spend a good amount of time in Amalfi and Positano enjoying the beautiful sights. The itinerary was exactly as described and gives you a good taste for both seaside towns!
We had an amazing boat tour to Positano and Amalfi! The driver was interactive with us all and Paola was an incredible guide—fun, friendly, and always helpful. I can't swim, and she made me feel comfortable by offering a life jacket and even wanted to help me in the water with swimming. She made everyone feel welcomed and comfortable. The entire trip was so much fun, with great music, dancing, beautiful scenery, and a wonderful group of families who all got along. It was a memorable experience, and I highly recommend this tour
We had an extremely memorable trip with Francisco and Raffaelli. By the end of the Positano and Almafi trip, we booked a trip to see Capri with them for the next day. We took in beautiful sights, knowledge from Francisco, and had so much fun listening to the music and dancing with our fellow trip members. These excursions were part of our trip we most definitely will not forget. Thank you Francisco and Raffaelli for the most memorable trips.
The staff are amazing. They took care of all of our needs, and they were so jovial and friendly.
Well organised. Enjoyed the boat ride, the stop offs and swimming. Nice crowd on the boat to share the day with. We didn’t appreciate the choice of music however :-( Lots of swearing of the worst kind. Such a shame.
Francesca and the captain (I forgot the name) were amazing! The boat was comfortable and the timing perfect. My daughter said she wants to do the tour again. Thank you for a great day at the beautiful Amalfi Coast!
