The experience
Your driver meets you at the Naples cruise port and drives you south in an air-conditioned minivan with a small group. The first stop is Sorrento, a cliff-top resort town where you have an hour to wander the tangled lanes, sit in Piazza Tasso or look inside the 15th-century cathedral. Then comes the drive itself. The minibus follows the winding cliff roads of the Amalfi Coast, passing lemon groves and the Mediterranean far below, a stretch that earned UNESCO World Heritage status for its landscape alone.
In Positano, houses cascade down the cliffs to a pebbly beach and the town is built for browsing: chic shops line the lanes, or you can sit over coffee and watch the water. An hour here lets you move at your own speed. Amalfi comes next, where the 9th-century cathedral sits in the center and restaurants line the waterfront if you want lunch (at your expense). Your last stop is Ravello, higher up the cliffs, where the cathedral and the 13th-century Villa Rufolo (entry at your expense) sit among gardens with views back down to the coast. The minivan then drives you back to the Naples port in time for your ship's departure.
The tour runs 8 hours total. Meals, drinks and entrance fees to attractions are not included, so budget accordingly for lunch and any sites you want to enter. The driver speaks English and the port pickup and drop-off are covered. You just need to meet the group promptly after each stop to stay on schedule.

What is there to do in Sorrento during the free hour?
Sorrento sits on a cliff overlooking the coast and is built around Piazza Tasso, the central square with bars and shops. The 15th-century cathedral is also in the town center if you want to look inside. Most visitors stroll the lanes, sit for a drink or browse the local stores.
How much time do you get in each Amalfi Coast town?
You have an hour in each of the three towns: Positano, Amalfi and Ravello. That is enough time to walk around, eat if you choose, and visit one small site, though entrance fees are at your own expense.
What is the drive like on the Amalfi Coast?
The minivan follows cliff roads that wind between lemon groves and steep terrain, with views of the Mediterranean below. The route is scenic but winding. If you are sensitive to curves, sit near the front of the minivan.
Do meals and attraction entry fees come with the tour?
No. Food, drinks and entrance fees to sites like Villa Rufolo are at your own expense. The tour includes transport, the driver and port pickup and drop-off only.
What happens if your ship's departure time is early or late?
At the time of booking, you must provide your ship name, docking time, disembarkation time and re-boarding time. The driver will plan the route and return to ensure you are back at the port in time for your ship to leave.
