Three coastal towns and a boat ride along cliffs that drop straight to the sea.

A small-group bus tour from Naples explores Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi over eight hours, with a panoramic boat cruise departing from Amalfi's port included in the standard itinerary. Pickup happens at one of two meeting points in Naples city center; the boat operates subject to sea and weather conditions. Free time in each town is self-guided, and you can arrange the boat locally if you book the tour without it and change your mind.

The Experience

The day starts with pickup at one of two designated points in Naples city center, then heads south in an air-conditioned vehicle built for small groups. Sorrento comes first—a stop to walk the fragrant gardens and historic alleys, take in views of the Bay of Naples from a seaside terrace, and browse handmade crafts and local lemon liqueurs. The drive itself is the relief: the famous coastal roads are narrow and winding, and the driver handles the navigation while you watch the landscape unfold.

Positano is the vertical city, built into the cliffs in layers of pastel buildings that drop to a pebble beach. You get free time to wander the boutiques, sit with a cold drink overlooking the water, or walk the beach and find the angles locals use for photographs. From there, the route continues to Amalfi, where the Maritime Republic's history lives in the majestic St. Andrew's Cathedral and in the local "delizia al limone" pastry—a lemon cream confection the town is known for. The boat cruise departs right from Amalfi's port, a panoramic ride along the coastline that shows you the cliffs and coves from the water, the perspective the guidebooks promise.

The boat operates according to sea and weather conditions; if conditions turn rough, it may be suspended for safety. If you book the tour without the boat and decide later you want it, you can request to add the experience locally in Amalfi, though availability and an extra cost apply. The return journey brings you back to your Naples pickup point by late afternoon. Arrive at least ten minutes early for check-in; the driver waits a maximum of ten minutes at the meeting point. Comfortable shoes, sunscreen and a hat are essentials, and swimwear is recommended during summer months.
