Hotéis em Amalfi Coast Drive

This was a highlight of our trip - a private transfer from Naples to Ravello along the Amalfi coast. Francesco picked us up from the Naples train station and drove us to Ravello, with stops at Sorrento Positano and Amalfi along the way, in an air conditioned vehicle. Francesco is so friendly helpful and informative. He gave us great local recommendations, was a good driver, spoke great English and looked after our luggage while we explored. Highly recommend to others. He also took as back to Naples another day via Pompeii and Herculaneum.

We had a private tour with Francesco!! He was a delightful guide. We were picked up at the port (cruise ship) and he arrived right on time. We rode in a nice van and made stops in Ravello, Amalfi, and Postitano. We had a lot to see and only one day to do it all. Our guide talked along the way making sure we didn’t miss a thing. He gave suggestions on tasty food to get in each place. All in all one of the best tours ever. I highly recommend.

Carmine picked me and mom up at the Naples cruise port at 8 am in a nice Mercedes van and masterfully drove us down the coast from Ravello to Positano to Amalfi to Sorrento and back! It was a beautiful private tour with all of his knowledge, great photos and shopping, lunch! Was the highlight of our 10 day trip and can’t wait to come back! Thank you to Rosy for ease of booking and Carmine for his careful driving and planning and a just a great time and tour!

Thanks to Carmine and driver we were safely taken to the most beautiful places of the Amalfi Coast! Be able to stop a few times along the way to enjoy the beautiful view. We left from Naples to go towards Amalfi - Positano - Sorrento. Carmine gave us a nice, friendly explanation and had arranged lunch for us in Positano. Carmine wished we didn't want for anything. RECOMMENDED! 🍋

Hello! Its been a few months since our trip, but we hired private driver Carmine. He was very professional and informative! On top of that he's just a great human being. I was a little ill that day, and he made sure I was taken care of in addition to hitting all the highlights along the way. He really went out of his way to make sure our experience was everything we wanted. He really loves driving :D Thank you very much! Bryan and Regina (Colorado)

NAPLES: The difference between Naples and Sorrento/ Positano is like chalk and cheese. When you get into the city of Naples the Napolise Central station is very modern and has a lot to offer. But it is very deceiving.....as you step outside and you will see how poor the town looks..... 1. There are a lot of beggers or poor people outside, which we did not expect. It did not feel like we were in Europe. 2. The buildings are all run down and the alleys have dodgy stalls with a lot of fake knock off products. We did not even step in as we were scared we will be mugged. 3. The buildings are all run down and every electric cable that runs from one building to another had clothes somehow hung on it. So your main attraction on any building is the locals laundry being dried out. Advise: 1. Please do not wear heals or even wedges. The entire city is made with cobbly uneven paving stones. I made the mistake in wearing wedges and regretted it. Always wear comfortable flats. 2. Taxi drivers will try to con you and charge what ever they want depending on how they perceive you. Barter the price or better yet use the public transport. Trains are very good and cheap. 3. From the airport take the Alibus which is just outside the airport and takes you to the central station directly in 20min. It is only 5 euros. Very comfortable to travel in. 4. If you wish to wander around to check out Naples and will not be staying at a hotel in Naples, you can store you luggage for 6 Euros a piece at the Central station. This was handy as the streets paving were not easy to drag suitcases around. SORRENTO: This town is the beginning of the heavenly Amalfi coast. You have few ways to get to Sorrento from Naples. Naples is where the airport is so depending on your transport preference, where you would need to go will be dictated: 1. Ferry from Porte - if you do not wish to see Naples then you can take the Alibus from the airport to the Porte and get a ferry from there. It is only c10 Euros per person. 45 min ferry ride and it is a beautiful experience and personally favourite way to get across. You can see the towns from the sea view and it is breath taking. Please note in November the Ferries were not operating during the weekend. 2. Train from the Central station, this is c9 Euros one way. Take the Alibus from the airport which is 5 Euros and then take the train to Sorrento. Takes around 1 hour 20 min. You can see the coastal areas from here too, but mainly the sea itself. 3. Taxi this is around 100 euros and 1 hour drive. We did not take this option for obvious reasons. If you take the ferry you will need to either take a taxi at Sorrento to the town as the town is way high above sea level. It costs around 20 Euros. If you are as daring as my friend and I, then you can climb the ridiculous amount of metal stairs all the way to the top. We had hand luggage and dared each other to do it. It is achievable but tiring. Once you reach the top the view is breath taking and the town is so quaint and picture perfect. Absolutely the opposite to Naples. It is the most happening part of the the three towns i.e. Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi. It is very tourist friendly and I would recommend booking the olive and lemon farm experience. It is a half day experience and it is worth it. You can book this via Viator. There are few Michelin starred restaurants around these areas and they are beautiful. You will be limoncello out by the end of the trip as you get it given free after every meal in every restaurant. It is strong and it is made in Sorrento. The seafood dishes are amazing and the bruschette is divine. The average 2 course meal will be around £30 - £40 a head. The restaurants do not add Service charge directly but they mask it by adding something called a Cover charge, and upon paying they will ask if you wish to add a service charge. So please be aware as it is quite cheeky. POSITANO: Transport: either taxi (expensive) or a coach that you can take from the train station. Cost is around 2.50 euros one way. The coach does get packed quite quickly and the journey is around 50 mins. We had to stand the whole way as there were no seats and with the windy roads it was like we were on a roller coaster. If you get travel sickness buy a bottle of freshly squeezed lemon water which you can get anywhere as their main raw product is lemons. This will help manage the nausea. Buy the return at Sorrento train station in advance as it is cheaper. Positano is just a heavenly place with an amazing view. Very hilly so wear comfortable shoes and flats. It has a beach with Ash covered sand due to the volcanic ashes. The view is breath taking and the town is so pretty. The gelato here is amazing. Pistachio flavour and coffee flavour is a must try. In the summer it would be packed and so do book your restaurant reservations in advance. The restaurant i would recommend trying is 'Chez Black' it is a unique looking restaurant on the beach that is decked up like the inside of a ship. The food is expensive in Positano and a lot less happening than Sorrento. But definitely worth a day trip here. Make sure to know when the last bus back is otherwise it will be hard finding your way back. AMALFI: This is a smaller town but very pretty and a further 40 min from Positano. You will need to take a bus here too. It is an expensive around there but picture perfect. When it's summer you can take a ferry from Sorrento to get here too.

Excellent tour of the Amalfi coast with exceptional driver/ tour guide Francesco. Visited Amalfi, Positano & Sorrento, with enough time to explore or eat & drink. Great advice from Francesco on things to do or try. One day is not enough to take in all that this region has to offer, but this private tour allows you to sit back enjoy the views and get a taste of what’s on offer. 5 Star driver & 5 Star tour

Our tour guide Francesco, arrived on time and proved to be an excellent tour guide, very informative on our trip around the Almafi coast. We visited Amalfi, try Delizia Al Limone at Pasticerra Pansa Amalfi as recommended by Francesco. This was followed by visits to Positano & Sorrento, with enough time to explore or stop for food & drinks. To see all that the Amalfi region has to offer in one day is impossible, but I would highly recommend a private tour like this to get a taste of what it has to offer, 5 star tour & 5 Stars for Francesco

Efficient Service. Very friendly operators. Breathtaking view. High knowledge of the territory

Highly recommend this tour. If you are hesitating- don’t! Car is clean and comfortable, driver is courteous, professional and a wealth of information!! My favorite tour of all, and we did lots of them in Naples.
