About this journey
The most beautiful coast in Italy.
An Amalfi Coast day trip is the most cinematic excursion in southern Italy — a UNESCO World Heritage stretch of coastline where pastel villages cling to vertical cliffs above turquoise water. The coast that inspired writers from John Steinbeck to Patricia Highsmith, the coast that became the visual signature of Italian summer.
Our first stop is Positano, the most photographed village on the Amalfi Coast — a cascade of pink, peach and white houses tumbling down to a black-sand beach. Walk the narrow stepped streets, browse the boutiques selling handmade leather sandals and linen dresses, photograph the views, swim from the beach if the season permits.
Then onwards to Amalfi, the larger town that gave the coast its name. The magnificent Cathedral of Sant’Andrea, the harbourfront, the lemon groves rising into the hills behind. A complete coastal day with the comfort of a private MPV from your hotel — the famous Amalfi Drive (the SS163) is one of the most beautiful, and most challenging, roads in Italy.
What you’ll experience
Pastel Positano, and proud Amalfi.
Private MPV from your hotel
We collect you from your hotel in Naples, Sorrento or anywhere on the coast in a comfortable air-conditioned MPV. Chauffeur service throughout the day.
The Amalfi Drive (SS163)
One of the most beautiful and challenging roads in Italy — a clifftop ribbon of asphalt with the Mediterranean below. Your driver navigates it; you simply enjoy the views.
Positano's pastel houses
The most photographed village on the coast — a cascade of pink, peach and white houses falling to a black-sand beach. The cliffside views that defined Italian summer.
Handmade sandals & linen
Positano is famous for its artisan leather sandals (made while you wait) and handmade linen clothing. Browse the boutiques where the Italian elite shop for summer.
Amalfi's Cathedral of Sant'Andrea
The magnificent Romanesque-Gothic cathedral that dominates Amalfi's main square — striped marble façade, bronze doors from Constantinople, the relics of Saint Andrew.
Lemon groves & limoncello
The hills above Amalfi are covered in lemon groves — the famous Sfusato Amalfitano lemons that make the world's best limoncello. Optional tasting stop included.

Pricing by group size
€900 for 2 people · €950 for 4 people · €1.050 for 6 people. Total tour fee, not per person. Includes the MPV, driver, fuel and tolls.
Adding Ravello
Ravello (the inland clifftop village famous for its gardens and music festival) can be added for an extended day. About 30 minutes inland from Amalfi. Magnificent views.
Driver vs guide
This is a self-guided day trip with a private driver — not a guided tour. The driver speaks basic English, gives orientation and recommendations, but does not provide commentary at each stop.
Summer traffic
July and August on the Amalfi Drive can mean significant traffic — we recommend starting at 8am to avoid the worst. Spring and autumn are far more pleasant.
Limoncello tasting
Optional stop at a traditional lemon grove for limoncello tasting — small extra fee (~€15 per person), includes the tour of the grove and tastings of various Amalfi lemon products.
Pickup location
We collect from Naples, Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, Ravello, or any hotel along the coast. If you’re already on the coast, the day becomes more flexible — let us know.
What to wear
Comfortable walking shoes (Positano and Amalfi involve steps). Sun protection essential. Swimsuit if you’d like to swim (Mar–Oct). Smart-casual for restaurants.
