The experience

Eight hours in a Mercedes van with a driver who knows the Amalfi Coast road means you skip the rental car stress and the bus schedules. The route climbs and curves along cliffs above the sea, and your driver stops at viewpoints and in each village so you can walk, photograph and explore at your own pace. Pickup happens at your Naples hotel or at the main port, depending on where you're staying.

Positano comes first: the village clings to the hillside in pastel layers, compact enough to walk through in an afternoon despite the steep streets. From there the road continues to Amalfi, where the cathedral dominates the main piazza and the relics of Saint Andrew sit inside. The 62 steps leading up to the entrance are part of the arrival. Many visitors stop here for lunch (at their own cost) before the driver takes you inland and uphill to Ravello. Ravello sits on a ridge with views that stretch across the coast, and the ornate garden villas (Cimbrone and Rufolo) are the reason it earned UNESCO status.

The small group option means you'll share the van with other travelers on the same itinerary. The private tour gives you the vehicle and driver alone. Either way, the driver speaks English and the van covers gas, tolls and parking, so the only cost beyond the ticket is your lunch.

Is this one for you?The small group option works well if you're comfortable sharing the van and want to keep costs down. The private tour suits travelers who prefer their own vehicle and driver for the day. Either way, the eight-hour window gives you time to walk through all three villages without rushing, though you'll need to choose where to spend longest.

Top questions

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.

How much time do I actually spend exploring in each village?

The itinerary does not fix a duration for each stop. Your driver takes you to Positano, Amalfi and Ravello and you decide how long to stay in each one. The full day is eight hours, so the time you spend walking, eating and looking around depends on where you want to linger.

What's the difference between the small group tour and the private tour?

The small group tour shares the Mercedes van with other travelers on the same route. The private tour is just you and your driver. Both include pickup from your Naples hotel or the port and the same stops along the coast.

Does the driver stay with us or do we explore on our own?

Your driver takes you to each village and waits with the van. You explore Positano, Amalfi and Ravello on foot at your own pace. The driver does not guide you through the sites, only navigates the coastal road between them.

Is lunch included in the tour price?

Lunch is not included. You eat at your own expense in whichever village you choose. Your driver can recommend restaurants, but the cost is separate from the tour ticket.

What is Ravello actually known for?

Ravello is set on a ridge high above the coast with sweeping views across the Amalfi landscape. The two main attractions are the ornate garden villas (Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo), which are why the town earned UNESCO World Heritage status.
