Full-Day Amalfi Coast Experience from Sorrento, Naples or Salerno
Description
The Amalfi Coast can be complicated and time-consuming to visit on your own. Taking a shared minivan or minibus is the simplest and most affordable way to enjoy the sights. This eight/nine-hour trip begins in Sorrento, Naples, Salerno and heads south for the breathtaking drive (lightly narrated by your driver-or narrated by your guide), and an hour or two in each of the three main towns - Positano, Amalfi and Ravello - before returning to Sorrento, Naples, Salerno.
Tour Options
Itinerary
Positano, the most picturesque town of the Amalfi Coast resembles a waterfall cascading down to the sea. Visitors descend narrow pathways, perusing artisan workshops offering ceramics, fabled lemon products, and the distinct local style of dress.
The gem of Amalfi is the oldest of Italy’s maritime republics. Whitewashed homes dotting the hillside are illuminated by the abundant sunshine that bathes the city. The basilica’s cupola is a reference to the Sicilian -Arabic influence that once dominated the area. For centuries it has been a popular destination due to its natural beauty and ideal climate.
Ravello and its noble villas keep alive the grandeur of a bygone era. Perched high on a hillside plateau, Ravello has stunning views of the Amalfi coastline, overlooking Minori, Maiori, and beyond. Immortalized in the films of Roberto Rossellini, the city of Ravello seduces its visitors with its contrast of opulent colours and displays of luxury and the absolute tranquillity that pervades it.

Alberto was our driver - he was fantastic. He was polite and generous with the information that he shared throughout the day. He was incredibly tolerant of other members of the group that were regularly late. He even arranged to pick them up from their accommodation so that they could join the tour. We enjoyed visiting Positano, Amalfi and Ravello - Ravello was a particular highlight for us due to it being quieter than the other places visited. The gelato there and the lemonade was a highlight.
Alfonso was an amazing guide. Very friendly and and accommodating. First he brought us to the heart of Positano, it was raining and he provided umbrellas; it did stop raining soon after. At Amalfi he brought us to an affordable boat to see Amalfi from the sea. He had suggestions for lunch and took us to a wonderful place for with a grand view at Hotel Villa Fraulo. He made sure we saw the Amalfi from all angles. Communication was impeccable, we learned a lot with him as well. Highly recommend.
We booked this tour directly on the website -- "shared tours" /Mondo with the Rick Steves recommendation. Alfonso was our driver and guide, and he made sure we got the most out of our day -- went above and beyond to make us happy...and laugh. If you're in this area of the country, don't miss it. The concerns I had -- the tour actually having enough people to run and then finding the guide at the meeting place -- no problem at all. We received confirmation over a week before and then again the day before. Highly recommended!
We had an amazing day with Alfonso! We were lucky to be in a group with wonderful people we hadn’t met before, and we had so much fun together. We sang in the car, laughed at Alfonso’s jokes (and each other’s!), enjoyed every place we visited, and received excellent service throughout the day. Everything was perfectly organized: we were picked up at a convenient location, guided to the correct boat tickets, had easy communication whenever we needed to find each other, and were even dropped off at a great spot to make our way back to the hotel. Alfonso was fantastic, and the entire tour exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun, well-organized, and memorable experience!
Great experience and very knowledgeable guide.
There was a rock slide that altered our course, so our driver Alphonso made the best of a bad situation. The longer route meant we were in the van longer then we should have been but Alphonso called ahead and had a nice lunch at a mountain top hotel in Ravello waiting for us. I think a lot of drivers would have just cancelled the tour but Alphonso made the best of it
Alfonso was an amazing tour guide, picked up promptly, very informative and friendly, answered all questions. highly recommend Ravello, less touristy than Amalfi. He could of easily cancelled tour due to landslide but took us through a different much longer route through the mountains, the scenery was stunning. thanks so much for a wonderful trip experience
Alphonso our tour guide was Excellent from the very start of our Trip. Unfortunately due to a Landslide the Road had been affected and we had to go via the Mountains to Amalfi which put a lot of extra time on the journey but we saw some wonderful sites and views. Ravello was excellent and we had more than enough time to visit everything and again Alphonso was very very helpful with everything. Amalfi was worth the visit and more than enough time there, but personally I think the place is over hyped and apart from the views looking up the mountains and the Church at the bottom of the town, it is no different to Sorrento which I am glad we chose to stay at. Thank you once again for a Great Trip and cheers Alphonso you were Fantastic (even if you do support a Team that Maradona once played for 😁) 👍👍👍👌👌👌
This company were very accommodating to our needs. Not only we had an amazing experience with our driver but they also were nice enough to take us to the airport in order for us to pick up our luggage that did not arrive with us with no extra cost. The tour guide was very professional, very accommodating and we will definitely be booking with this company again. I highly recommend them as they can help you with just about anything.
Very nice tour with super guide Alberto
