The Experience

The day starts with Ravello, perched high above the Gulf of Salerno and known as the City of Music — a UNESCO cultural heritage site where Wagner, D.H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf all spent time. Your guide walks you through the town's bohemian history and points out the ravishing gardens and views that made it famous, then leaves you free to explore the narrow streets, visit Villa Cimbrone Gardens (redesigned in the early 20th century by English gardener Vita Sackville-West), or simply sit with the coast spread below you. The gardens hold fountains, statues and small temples scattered across the landscape, and the views are among the best on the entire coast.

Next is Amalfi itself, the town whose name blesses the whole region. The Amalfi Cathedral dominates the main square, a majestic structure dedicated to Sant'Andrea that stands as a reminder of Amalfi's past as a Maritime Republic. The town is small enough to walk everywhere — narrow alleys and stairways overlook the sea, and the white buildings gleam against the water. You'll have time to browse the local shops for handmade ceramics, lemon fragrances and lace clothing, or grab a coffee in one of the small cafes tucked into the streets.

Positano closes the day, a cliffside village famous for its warm, casual atmosphere and one-of-a-kind local treasures. The town is so compact you can walk from one end to the other, and there's little need for a car once you arrive. Narrow streets are lined with bougainvillea and lemon trees, and the shops sell handcrafted goods you won't find elsewhere. The tour includes an English-speaking driver and certified guide throughout, hotel pickup, air-conditioned transport, bottled water and WiFi on board.

Top questions

What is there to do in Ravello besides walking around?

Ravello holds Villa Cimbrone Gardens, one of the most important examples of English landscape design in southern Europe, with fountains, statues and small temples spread across the grounds. The gardens were redesigned in the early 20th century and offer some of the best views on the Amalfi Coast. You also have free time to explore the town's bohemian history, visit local shops or simply sit and take in the scenery.

Is there time to swim or go down to the beach?

The tour focuses on the villages themselves — Ravello, Amalfi and Positano — and the free time in each is meant for exploring the streets, shops and viewpoints. Positano sits on the coast, so you can walk down to the waterfront during your free time there, but swimming is not part of the scheduled itinerary.

How much free time do you get in each village?

You have ample time in each village to explore at your own pace. The guide meets you at an agreed-upon time to move to the next stop, so you control how long you spend wandering the streets, visiting shops or sitting with the views.
