Amalfi Coast from Naples

Romantic, Tip - What to See & Do

There are few stretches of coastline as celebrated as the Amalfi, south of Naples. Since Antiquity the azure sea, cliff-hugging towns and dramatic cliffs between Positano and Salerno have attracted eager visitors while bewitching writers, artists and filmmakers.

If you’re staying in Naples, or docked there on a cruise ship, the Amalfi Coast is little more than an hour’s drive away, making it the perfect day trip. You can arrange to be picked up at the dock or from your hotel in a private chauffeured car which will whisk you away for a day of sights you’ll never forget.

And because it’s a private tour, you can spend your time wherever you wish, long luxurious hours in whichever town takes your fancy. Will it be Sorrento, with its stunning views and busy port? Or Ravello, with its stately villas and beautiful gardens? Or maybe popular Positano, with its colorful houses tumbling down the hillside to greet the sapphire waters? All along the way, little coves open up between the cliffs to reveal charming beaches, an inviting proposition in the warmer months.

If you’re staying in Rome, you can see the very best of the region with two overnight stays. Historic highlights, vibrant city life and breathtaking scenery are all on offer as you travel south out of the Eternal City and head for the earthy charms of Naples, fabled city of lovers and balladeers.

This area has long been a magnet for those seeking the good life. Back in Roman times the city of Pompeii was a bustling trading center, its wealth reflected in fine houses and rich decorative paintings. The eruption which sealed Pompeii in 79 AD offers us an extraordinary insight into daily life in the Roman Empire, and on a scale which surprises most first-time visitors.

And then it’s back to the good life, 21st century style, as you head for the beautiful Amalfi Coast to wind up a magical three day excursion.

This is a tour not to be missed!
And, like many other reviews had said, our driver Antonio was great!

We are a family of four that stayed in Naples for 10 days.
Visiting Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi cost with this private tour gave us the opportunity to have a great view of the scenery and the trilling experience of driving along the narrow and winding road through the coastal line.

On top of it, Antonio was not only a driver but an experienced guide of the area.
He was friendly, well informed and of course, great driving skill!
We ate some good food, thanks to his recommendation of the restaurant.

We actually went back to Sorrento by boat from Capris again by ourselves on another day.
But still, the private tour is much enjoyable.
