Private Amalfi Coast from Sorrento: Amalfi, Positano&Path of Gods

I booked this private driver tour through Viator as one of the last things I decided to prebook before we visited this area. We did have a rental car but everything I was reading said don't even try to drive yourself on the Amalfi coast and we only had one full day to experience it so it seemed worth the money to book this tour. It cost around 725 Euros for our family of 6. Our driver, Marco, picked us up in a lovely van right at our hotel door. We immediately all liked him as he was super upbeat and kept up a wonderful narration of what we were seeing on the drive. The tour I booked included about an hour stop in the towns of Amalfi and Positano and a drop off and pick up for the “Path of the Gods” hike. It was about an 8-hour day total. The whole day was amazing and we never would have been able to see even a fraction of what we did without Marco. He was a great driver, everything you read about the skinny roads and the very intense drivers in this area is not an exaggeration. We all felt completely comfortable during all this chaos with Marco, he navigated like it was nothing, which was hugely impressive. He was also able to pull over at crowded viewpoints and pull into the heart of the towns to drop us off. He was able to bring us to places we never would have been able to take our own car to which saved us the anxiety of driving and the added time of trying to find parking further out and having to walk into the towns. Marco was also great at communication, fluent in English and super knowledgeable about the area. We had his whatsapp contact and each time he dropped us off he made sure we had a clearly communicated pick up plan and he shared excellent instructions on ways to best spend our time. Marco was also super flexible and we never felt rushed even though it was a packed day. For the Path of the Gods hike he even had a picture of what we would see when we needed to turn the correct way and what parts did not have cell services which was so reassuring! As an aside, if you are thinking of doing the Path of the Gods hike I would highly recommend it. It is an approximately 3-mile hike with stunning cliffside views. It was so nice to get away from the crowds of the Amalfi coast towns and feel like we could go slow and appreciate the natural views, I think we saw less than 20 other people on the trail. The hike was moderate with some elevation change and stone stairs. It was very hot and sunny mid-day but there were areas of shade and the trail surface was well maintained. There are areas of steep drop offs so it may not be ideal for young kids. Overall, the hike took us about 2.5 hours at a leisurely pace while taking lots of pictures. Marco met us at the end of the hike with the A/C blasting and ice-cold bottles of water. Marco shared a little bit about his life and about Italian culture with us when we asked and he was just overall the nicest and most informative guide we could have hoped for. Thanks Marco for a wonderful day!

Marco was a great driver. He tailored the tour to our needs, had plenty of cold water, offered to do anything we wanted and was very knowledgeable about the area. You can tell he is passionate about sharing the beauty of his home with his guests! Book this tour!

Our private Amalfi Coast tour with Compass Tours was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Italy! From the moment Marco picked us up, everything was first-class. Marco was incredibly professional, spoke fluent English, and shared fascinating history and local culture throughout the day. He made every stop so much more meaningful with his knowledge of the Amalfi Coast, Priano, and Positano. One of the biggest highlights was giving us the opportunity to hike the breathtaking Path of the Gods, which was an unforgettable experience. The vehicle was immaculate, comfortable, and stocked with complimentary water. Marco was attentive to every detail, making sure we were comfortable and tailoring the day to what we wanted to see and do. We never felt rushed and truly appreciated the personalized experience that only a private tour can provide. If you're considering exploring the Amalfi Coast, don't hesitate to book privately with Compass Tours. Their exceptional service, attention to detail, and outstanding guide made this an experience we'll never forget. Thank you, Marco, for an incredible day—we'll be recommending Compass Tours to everyone we know!

I was on my way to my son’s wedding in Vietri. Tony picked me up at the airport in Naples, drove me to Pompeii, waited for me as I explored, then took me along the Amalfi Coast Rd. to my destination. Throughout the drive, Tony enthusiastically pointed out things of interest as well as much history. He, kindly, stopped several times along the way for photo ops and even videod me to send to friends and family. My experience was definitely enhanced by this wonderful day!

BOOK THIS TOUR!! Even though our Italy adventure is just getting started, we have no doubt that this tour - and our time with Marco - will undoubtedly be one of the top highlights of our vacation! Marco was incredibly accommodating - even when our start threw us all a little curve ball (through no fault of Marco's). He took it all in stride and immediately put us at ease, effortlessly getting us on track and feeling like VIP guests! We learned SO MUCH from Marco about the history, culture, people, sights, and lifestyle here, that it really brought the Amalfi Coast and everything we were privileged to be seeing to life on a whole different level. And then there was the Path of the Gods hike... Marco gave us great instructions and sent us off on what was just a spectacular experience hiking the Path...an absolute must do! This tour is worth every penny...do not hesitate to book (and ask for Marco!)!

Just an amazing experience! We did the private tour down the coast including the Path of Gods hike. The hike was one of the best things we did in Italy! The views were incredible. Our driver/ guide Marco was engaging and so helpful. Stopped in the best spots to take great photos of us. Guided us in each location for food and sights and provided great information along the way. Also, customized the day to make it perfect for us. Book this tour. You won’t be sorry.

We had an incredible day with Marco! He shared his tips at each stop and provided the overview of the area as we were in transit. Highly reccomend!
