The Experience

You leave Naples in the morning from a central meeting point and spend the next eight hours on the Amalfi Coast's narrow, winding roads. The van holds a small group—the exact size depends on which option you book—and includes a driver and a tour assistant who speaks your language and stays with you throughout the day. The route itself is the point: every curve reveals a different angle of the coastline, and the drive between towns is part of what you came for.

Positano arrives first, a vertical village of pastel houses stacked down toward the sea. You have free time to walk its narrow alleys, browse the artisan fashion boutiques, or sit by the water with a drink. The cobblestones and steep streets mean you'll be on foot, and the descent to the waterfront involves stairs, but there's no fixed itinerary—you move at your own pace. From there, the van climbs back to the main road and heads to Amalfi, the historic maritime center of the coast. You'll see the St. Andrew's Cathedral and smell the lemon groves that line the terraces above town. Lunch is on your own here; you choose the restaurant and the time, which is why the tour doesn't include it. If you want to take an optional boat ride along the coast, it costs €15 and you pay the operator on the spot.

The final stop is Ravello, perched on the cliffs above the Gulf of Salerno. Known as the city of music, it's quieter than the other two towns and built around sweeping views. You can wander the cliffside gardens of Villa Rufolo or Villa Cimbrone (each costs €12 to enter), or simply sit in a piazza and look out to sea. The exact time you spend in each town shifts with the season and the day's traffic—the Amalfi Coast's narrow roads mean return times to Naples can vary—but the van is climate-controlled and your guide is there to answer questions and help you navigate. Walking here involves uneven terrain, cobblestones, and stairs, especially in Positano and Ravello, so it's not wheelchair accessible and works best if you're comfortable with moderate physical activity.
