Itinerary
You’ll be picked up from your Naples hotel in the morning and taken by modern car to Sorrento, where your Vespa tour starts. Strap on your helmet, hop on the back of a vintage Piaggio Vespa, and let your expert guide take you on a scenic, invigorating ride along the breathtaking Amalfi Coast, stretching 31 miles (50 km) along the southern side of the Sorrentine Peninsula. First, spend some time exploring the small town of Sorrento, a popular tourist destination overlooking the Bay of Naples with Naples, Capri and Mt Vesuvius in the distance. Then travel along the characteristic curves of the coastline while taking in incredible views. You’ll stop in several coastal towns to explore by foot, sightsee, take photos and enjoy free time to wander at your leisure.
Il tour attraversa sulla "due ruote" più famosa d'Italia le curve panoramiche della strada della Costiera tra i colori ambrati della montagna e il turchese del mare cristallino. Lungo il percorso ci si fermerà in prossimità di meravigliose terrazze a picco sul mare per ammirare la splendido panorama che si estende a perdita d'occhio. Sarà questa l'occasione per la guida per raccontare la leggenda delle Sirene tramutate in rocce e l'affascinante storia del luogo.
Stop for coffee and cake (included) about an hour into your tour before continuing along the coast to the town of Amalfi, once the capital of the maritime republic of Duchy of Amalfi, an important trading power in the Mediterranean between 839 and 1200. At lunch time, grab a traditional Italian meal at a local restaurant in the lovely Atrani (own expense) to enjoy the most genuine traditional Mediterranean cuisine. You’ll also visit the Emerald Grotto, a cave located in Cape Conca that’s flooded with a brilliant blue or emerald light. Your Vespa ride ends back in Sorrento, where you’ll then transfer back to Naples by car, arriving in the evening. You’ll be given a handmade, local artisan gift as a souvenir to remember your Amalfi Coast Vespa tour forever!
La nostra guida ti accompagnerà in una piacevole passeggiata tra le tipiche botteghe locali, le caratteristiche stradine, l'imponente Cattedrale e i tipici baretti che colorano la piazza principale, in un'atmosfera tipicamente italiana.
Make your way to Positano, perhaps the coast's most photogenic town, with steeply stacked houses cascading down to the sea. On your visit here, you'll begin to understand why famous author John Steinbeck described Positano as "...a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone.”
