Itinerary
Meet your driver at your central Naples hotel or at Naples’ central train station. Then, board your air-conditioned minivan and head south to Sorrento, the clifftop resort just west of the UNESCO-listed Amalfi Coast, a 40-mile (64-km) chunk of shore famed for its steep cliffs and confetti-colored villages. On arrival in Sorrento, enjoy an hour of free time to explore this charming town as you wish. Perhaps stroll the winding lanes, enjoy the bars and shops in the central square, Piazza Tasso, or check out the majestic 15th-century cathedral — it’s entirely up to you.
Then, rejoin your minibus and keep your camera ready as you drive along the Amalfi Coast, tracing its winding cliffside road between lemon groves and the sparkling Mediterranean on route to Positano. Wedged between cliffs, Positano’s pastel houses fall steeply down to the sea, forming one of the Amalfi Coast's scenic highpoints. Arrive in the town and use an hour of free time here to perhaps shop at the chic boutiques and galleries, relax over coffee, or admire the Church of St Maria Assunta, famous for its tiled dome.
Next, arrive in the town of Amalfi and enjoy another hour to explore its sights at your leisure. Perhaps visit its striking 9th-century cathedral, browse the many shops hidden in the lanes or enjoy lunch (own expense) at one of the tempting restaurants.
Your final stop is the town of Ravello, higher up the cliffs. There, you will get off the minibus as close as possible to the heart of the village, which is located in a pedestrian area. With an hour of free time here, maybe look around the impressive cathedral (Duomo) or visit the 13th-century Villa Rufolo (own expense), whose cliff-hugging gardens serve up jaw-dropping coastal views. Afterward, drive back to Naples, where your trip ends at your original departure point or any city center location of your choosing.

We really enjoyed this tour. We got to see a lot throughout the duration of the tour. Everything was on time and well organized. Giovanni (our guide) was excellent - funny, very knowledgeable and a great driver. Highly recommend this tour!
The driver picked us up in the middle of a busy highway...I had to get my husband out of his wheelchair and into the front seat of this van in the middle of busy traffic! Extremely dangerous! The driver lost my husband's walking cane(did not put back into the van)...we had to waist time in the different city's looking in Pharmacies for a walking stick... found one that was not comparable to the one he had which caused him to fall in our room on the cruise ship twice! The first time he was bruised... the second time he fractured his hip and had surgery of the ship in Barcelona! This driver because he lost my husband's walking cane caused major havoc for us! We are currently waiting in the Barcelona hospital for him to be able to walk again in order to fly home to Florida... and had to cancel all vacations planned for the year!
Madame we are very sorry for what happened but I must point out that the activity was a shared tour in group not suitable for someone who needs special assistance. The driver did his best but we don't use to transport these kind of customers usually. Regards
Driver was lovely but the experience itself - wouldn’t recommend It’s not 1 hour per place it’s 35-45 mins and by the time you walk abit down in huge crowds in Amalfi etc , it’s time to go back up! Impossible to explore all 4 in the short time.
Dear Customer thank you for your pointing anyway we checked the track of the vehicle and he stopped 56m in Sorrento, 57m in Positano, 58m in Amalfi and only 46m in Ravello because it was 17:20 already and we had to stay in Naples already at that time. Driver did it well because the tour says 1h in every place and we are not responsible about the crowd you can meet in the villages. Regards
Excellent tour - such amazing views and our guide, Giovanni, was the best!! I would say if you have a fear of heights, this is not for you!!
The views are amazing. The ride can be very scary for anyone who does not like riding on the side of a mountain. Sit on the inside seat if this bothers you. Make sure you have everything when your journey is over. My husband left his hat in the van.
Gianni was great! He gave us a lot of information. Unfortunately, the traffic was terrible. We did not get to do everything listed in the excursion and time was very limited at the stops we did have.
About half the tour is travel time spent on winding mountain roads so some folks in our van were feeling car sick. The view are beautiful.
This is not a tour but a driver that takes you to the different towns on the coast. Also the it was to be in English but the driver could not speak English very well
Got to experience three very pretty towns. If you have limited time, this day trip is a nice way to spend the day.
Great small group tour. Driver was very knowledgable, friendly and spoke very good english. Very enjoyable tour.
