About this tour
Eight hours traversing the Amalfi Coast by private vehicle with driver pickup from your hotel or designated point. You'll navigate the dramatic coastal road and explore the trio of celebrated villages—Amalfi, Positano and Ravello—at your own pace. The driver handles tolls and logistics while you absorb the scenery, lemon groves and Mediterranean light. This is a self-guided discovery rather than a shepherded tour, giving you freedom to linger where you choose.
Highlights
- Private air-conditioned car avoids public transport queues
- Positano's pastel cliffside architecture and pebble beaches
- Amalfi's cathedral and working port-town atmosphere
- Ravello's hilltop piazzas and panoramic terraces
- Driver handles all parking and tolls—no logistics worry
- Flexible timing; stop for photos and exploration freely
- Accessible for wheelchairs and families with prams
What to expect
You'll be collected from your accommodation or meeting point and driven onto the SS163, one of Europe's most vertiginous coastal roads. Hairpin bends reward you with views of terraced lemon orchards cascading to turquoise water. Plan to spend 2–3 hours wandering Positano's narrow lanes and waterfront; another 1.5–2 hours in Amalfi town exploring the piazza and cathedral; and a final stretch in Ravello for quieter hilltop gardens and quieter cafés. Your driver remains on hand but doesn't accompany visits—you move independently through villages, eating where you fancy, walking as much or as little as your legs allow.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes and smart-casual clothes; roads can be slick in rain, so pack a light jacket. Keep valuables with you during village time—the car offers no security coverage for theft or loss. If departing from Rome, catch the 7:35 am Freccia Rossa train to Naples; pickup awaits at Centrale station. Return pickup for your 6:30 pm train back to Rome is included.
