What to expect
You'll be collected from your Sorrento base and spend the day travelling by private vehicle along one of Europe's most photographed coastlines. The road hugs limestone cliffs with hairpin turns offering views across the Mediterranean. Stops allow time to wander Positano's boutique-lined alleys and photograph its distinctive architecture, explore Amalfi's main piazza and waterfront, and stroll Ravello's terraced gardens and piazzas. The Emerald Grotto requires a separate paid entrance. Your driver provides context about each location but pacing is leisurely—this is sightseeing by car rather than a structured tour.
