The experience

The tour leaves Naples Star Terminus Hotel at 9am and heads south toward the coast. You'll drive through Praiano and stop at the Emerald Grotto for photos before arriving in Positano, where you have free time to walk the steep, colorful streets, sit on Spiaggia Grande or Fornillo Beach, visit the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, or eat at a seaside restaurant. The route itself is the draw here: the Mercedes climbs and descends the famous hairpin bends of the Amalfi Drive, and the views from Via Cristoforo Colombo alone are worth the ride.

From Positano you continue to Amalfi town, where the Cathedral dominates the main square with its Arab-Norman facade and bronze doors. You'll have time to explore the Arsenale Museum, wander the boutique-filled streets, taste limoncello, or simply sit in Piazza del Duomo and watch the afternoon unfold. The Cathedral's interior is ornate and cool: a real contrast to the bright, busy square outside.

The final stop is Ravello, perched high above the coast. Villa Rufolo's gardens and panoramic terraces are the main draw, and the Cathedral (Duomo di Ravello) sits quietly in Piazza Vescovado nearby. There are local art galleries to browse and the Auditorium Oscar Niemeyer if you want to sit and look out over the water. You'll head back to Naples by 5pm. The tour runs in all weather, so bring layers and comfortable shoes for the steep village streets. A live English-speaking driver guide leads the whole day. Pickup from other Naples hotels is available for an extra fee if you're not staying near the train station.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and Italian.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What is the Emerald Grotto and do we go inside it?

The Emerald Grotto is a sea cave on the Amalfi Coast named for the green light that filters through the water. The tour stops there for photos on the drive to Positano, but does not include a boat ride inside the cave.

How much free time do we get in Positano, Amalfi and Ravello?

The itinerary gives you free time in each of the three villages to explore on your own: time enough to walk the streets, visit a church or museum, eat lunch, or sit by the water. The exact length depends on the group's pace and the driver's route, but the whole day runs from 9am to 5pm across all three stops.

Do we need to book this tour in advance, or can we book last-minute?

The tour is shared and requires a minimum group size to operate. If you book last-minute, contact the tour operator to confirm the departure will run with enough passengers.

Is lunch included, and where do we eat?

Lunch is not included in the tour price. You choose where and what to eat during your free time in each village: Amalfi and Positano both have seafood restaurants, cafés and casual spots along the main streets.

What should I bring and wear for this tour?

Wear comfortable walking shoes because the village streets are steep and narrow. Bring layers and a light jacket, as the coast can be windy and the weather changes. The tour operates in all weather, so dress for sun, wind and possible rain.

Does the tour include pickup from my hotel, or only from the Naples train station?

The standard tour starts at Naples Star Terminus Hotel, which is across from Naples Centrale train station. Pickup from other Naples hotels is available for an extra cost. Contact the operator with your hotel details to arrange it.
