Positano, Amalfi and Ravello fit into a single afternoon when someone else handles the driving.

A private full-day tour of the Amalfi Coast departing from Sorrento takes you to three towns—Positano, Amalfi and Ravello—with an English- and Italian-speaking driver and time to explore each one on foot. The driver handles all parking and navigation while you spend roughly an hour and a half in Positano, an hour in the historic town of Amalfi to see the 9th-century St. Andrew's Cathedral, and an hour in Ravello, perched in the hills above the coast. The tour runs 8 to 9 hours and includes pickup from your accommodation.

  • Visit Positano, shop and relax
  • Walk through Amalfi, see cathedral
  • Discover Ravello city

The Experience

Positano comes first, a vertical town of pastel buildings stacked down to a pebble beach. You get an hour and a half to walk the narrow, colorful streets, sit with an ice cream or granita at the water's edge, or browse the shops that line the steep alleys. The driver meets you at an agreed time to move on, so there is no guessing about when to head back.

Amalfi is next, the historic heart of the coast and a former maritime republic. An hour here is enough to walk through the old town's characteristic streets and stand in front of St. Andrew's Cathedral, built in the 9th century with a facade and interior that announce the town's former power. The cathedral sits at the center of the main piazza, impossible to miss, and the streets around it are where most of the town's life happens.

Ravello, known as the City of Music, sits in the hills above the coast and feels like a step away from the crowds. You get a full hour to wander through it—long enough to get lost in the quiet streets and find a café, or to simply sit and look out over the terraced landscape that drops toward the sea. The driver speaks English and Italian, handles all the parking logistics, and knows the route well enough that the day holds together without you having to navigate or negotiate with anyone at the curb.

Is this one for you?Book this tour if you want to see three signature Amalfi Coast towns in one day without renting a car or navigating the coastal roads yourself. The fixed stops and timing mean the day holds together, and the driver's knowledge of where to park and how to move between towns removes the logistics that usually eat up a full day on the coast.

Top questions

What is there to do in Positano during the tour?

Positano gives you an hour and a half to walk through the colorful streets, relax on the beach, or have a coffee or granita by the water. Shopping is an option too, though the steep alleys mean most time goes to walking and looking.

Can I see the inside of St. Andrew's Cathedral in Amalfi?

The cathedral is open to visitors during the tour, and an hour in Amalfi gives you time to walk inside and see the 9th-century architecture and interior. The cathedral sits in the main piazza, so it is the centerpiece of any walk through the town.

How much free time do I get in each town?

Positano gives you an hour and a half, Amalfi an hour, and Ravello an hour. The driver meets you at a set time in each town, so you know when to head back without checking a watch.

What language does the driver speak?

The driver speaks both English and Italian, so communication is straightforward throughout the day.

Does the tour include lunch?

Lunch is not arranged as part of the tour, but each town has cafés, restaurants and gelato shops where you can eat during your free time.

How long is the full tour?

The tour runs 8 to 9 hours total, including pickup from your accommodation in Sorrento and all driving time between the three towns.
