Drive the Amalfi ss163 and step out to wander each town at your own pace

A full-day private minivan tour of the Amalfi Coast, departing with a driver and guide who speak English, Spanish or Italian. You travel by car through the scenic coastal route, stopping in Positano, Amalfi, Ravello, and smaller towns including Atrani and the Fiordo di Furore, with free time to walk, shop and eat in each place. The driver navigates the winding ss163 road and handles parking, so you step out ready to explore without planning the route or managing the drive.

The Experience

Positano is the first stop, and the driver drops you in the center so you can walk the narrow streets at your own speed. The town is built into the cliffs, with shops selling handmade leather sandals, Vietri ceramics and local clothing mixed in with cafes and gelato stands. You choose how long to stay—an hour or three—before heading back to the car.

The route then moves south through Praiano toward the Fiordo di Furore, a narrow fjord wedged between the cliffs where the sea and a mountain stream meet. From there you reach Conca dei Marini, where the Emerald Grotto sits as a sea cave flooded with blue-green light; the grotto holds an underwater nativity scene made of ceramics in 1956. The drive itself is the draw here—the ss163 hugs the coastline with hairpin turns and views that pull you back to the windows between stops.

Amalfi comes next, the historical anchor of the coast. The driver drops you near the cathedral of Santa Andrea, and the town spreads out from there—the Duomo itself, small shops selling limoncello, a square where you can sit with an Aperol Spritz and watch the water. Ravello, the final major stop, sits higher up and feels quieter than Positano or Amalfi. The driver parks near the center and you walk to Villa Rufolo, Villa Cimbrone or the Duomo di Ravello, or simply find a restaurant with a sea view and take lunch slowly. The whole day runs eight hours from pickup to return, with the guide available to answer questions during drives and at each stop.
