Private Tour: Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi and Ravello Day Trip from Naples

Naples, Italy

Explore the famous Amalfi Coast with your own driver to chauffeur you from town to town on this private full-day excursion from Naples. You'll discover Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi and Ravello, four of the most beautiful villages in the south of Italy. A private visit to the Amalfi Coast is the perfect choice if you want to get a real taste of southern Italy and its exquisite coastal landscapes.

By taking a private tour, you have the option to spend as little or as much time as possible in the picturesque towns of Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi and Ravello, world-famous for their charm and colorful architecture.

The villages scattered along the Amalfi Coast have always attracted visitors, bewitching all who visit. The charm lies not only in the towns themselves but also in their history and rich legacy of fine churches, villas and monasteries.

Sorrento
With its cliff-top position overlooking the sea, bustling port, picturesque bays and panoramic views of the Amalfi Coast and surrounding hills, Sorrento has been a favorite resort since Roman times.

Positano
Positano sits in a splendid panoramic position on one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline. Its enchanting town center of delightful pastel-hued houses surrounds the parish church of Santa Maria Assunta, its laneways are lined with quaint, colorful shops and its numerous beaches are world famous.

Amalfi
Amalfi's typically Mediterranean architecture, made up of lanes and characteristic white houses piled one upon the other, makes it one of Italy's most famous resorts.

Ravello
Ravello is situated in a more elevated position than the other pearls of the Amalfi Coast, boasting exceptional views of the coast and its marvelous villas and gardens.

Excellent guide and good driver. Spectacular views and excellent food. Surprisingly, Amalfi was not as interesting as expected. I highly recommend the excursion and the private tour formula

We got picked up in a mercedes benz car - very clean. Our driver Antonio was very polite and very likable. He knew quite a bit about Naples in general. Having a private tour was the way to go. We were in our own time - didnt feel rushed. If you come to Naples, this tour is a must. These 4 towns were breathtakingly beautiful! Also, this is my second tour with Viator and its been a fantastic experience.

Our private tour with Rosario to Sorrento and Amalfi Coast was so amazing. From the moment he picked us up at our hotel in Naples, my sister and I knew we were in for a perfect ride. He's so polite, opened the doors for us, very kind, and quite good looking. He drove us in this spotless clean Mercedes Benz car and am so happy all windows were clean because i was taking pictures at all angles all the time. He knows his trade--not only is he a good driver (hahaha, good maneuvers on those narrow, winding roads) he also spoke very good English. He gave us many important info relevant to our tour while driving (he could pass for a guide.) We never missed to stop at every important scenic spot for pictorials. He took many good shots of me and my sis with fascinating vistas as our background. He took us to Sorrento, spent some time there, then to the furniture store which i think was fabulous. We had lunch at Da Constantino's on a hill overlooking Positano---what a magnificent view, so epic and the food was really good. Spent time shopping in Positano, made an hour stop in Amalfi, then off to Ravello. The views of the four towns are all breathtaking. Should we make another trip to Amalfi again, we would definitely ask for Rosario, our driver/guide who didn't only show professionalism during the whole trip but also made his clients/tourists feel special. Rosario, you earned this high recommendation from us. You made our tour so memorable and we are so proud of you for doing an excellent job. By the way, where can we send the nice photos we took of you?

This tour was absolutely wonderful. Antonio was our driver and though we did not have an actual guide, per se, he was very knowledgeable and informative of the history at each of the locations we visited. He also provided us with an excellent lunch spot recommendation on the waterside in Amalfi. Overall, i cannot say enough about this tour and the wonderful driver we had.

We had an amazing private tour with our driver Pasquale and guide Juliana. They took us to the great spots of the coast and places to discover real Italian life. We had a great lunch in Amalfi by the water. On our way back, we had an unfortunate flat tire incident. My husband, on his own initiative, helped Pasquale, the driver, to change the flat tire. Unfortunately, Pasquale got some heat from his office, because apparently, the clients are not supposed to help the driver. My husband offered like he would with anybody else. Great tour!!

It was the best trip we had in Italy and fair price. Very beautiful view from the top of the cliff. My husband is over 300 pounds and managed to hike the trails. Alex the guide gave very good instructions. Need a pair of good shoes to hike. The lunch was delicious.

Rosario was a great driver with a pleasant personality. We really had an amazing time.

Amazing place, great food and great driver! You get what you want!

Review by: jonathan m s	August 2011
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!! Tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable, took us to lunch at a restaurant in the mountains. Best pasta I had in Italy. I'm from USA and was amazed that just pasta and sauce could taste so great!

Review by: Rosemary S	July 2011
This trip was everything we dreamed it would be and more! Antonio was the perfect driver and we had much opportunity for picture taking, but not too much for shopping. The highlight was our fabulous lunch overlooking Positano! This tour is a must!

Review by: Sharon I	July 2011
Excellent. I would have liked to have spent more time in Sorrento and Almafi. Positano did nothing for me and Revello was just a photo op. If I would have known that I would have stayed in Almafi longer, but all in all very nice!!

Review by: Jagadish S	July 2011
This tour is a must do! Our guide Andre had a great mix of humor and knowledge, and kept us entertained (yes, even the teenagers!) We walked the streets of Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi, and stopped at an elegant hillside restaurant for lunch. The views are unbelievable, and the guide made the experience even better.

Review by: ELIZABETH V	July 2011
We are deeply grateful to Enzo for flexibility in tailoring the tour to meet our needs. They were willing to meet us in Positano instead of the usual pick-up in Naples. They added Pompeii to our itinerary and provided our driver from a previous tour, Antonio Bacchetta to us at our request. Antonio is so friendly and accommodating. We felt he was part of our family! He gave us wonderful tips on making our trip memorable and was an excellent guide and patiently explained things to us. Thank you Antonio for making our trip unforgettable!

Review by: Tony X	June 2011
The title of this package should be changed. "Private Tour" should be called Private Driver. Once you buy this package your voucher will specifically say PRIVATE DRIVER (TOUR GUIDE NOT INCLUDED). Of course, your driver is not pure taxi driver, and he/she will have things to say about the towns etc. Our driver was friendly but not super helpful with the history etc. Also we stopped for 1 hour in Sorrento (very touristy), no time in Positano (THE town featured on all travel booklets) due to lack of parking, 30 minutes in Amalfi which we wanted to spend more time in, and 15 minutes in Ravello (the prettiest town in my opinion). So while it was a nice way to get a feel for every town quickly, it was bizarre why the driver insisted that we spend 1 hour in a tourist trap. Also disappointing was lunch, which had a beautiful view but not much to offer on the food front. So overall we basically just hired a car that took us to four towns. I think this trip was over priced and mis-adverstised, and we will be sure to take the train to Amalfi instead of paying for the expensive car ride.

Hello from Tennessee! _br/_ Our Private tour was absolutely amazing! Maria did a great job, we are all still talking about our trip.The knowledge of the region impressed us all, we were able to see and do so much all in one day. Maria gave us enough time as a family to see things and shop but at the same time guided us in the perfect way to keep us on track so we could see and do as much as we could in one day._br/_ Thanks for an amazing day! We will highly recomend your services to friends and family._br/_ From,_br/_ Derrick, Renee, Ashley, Cari, Micaela and Allison

Review by: Ian T	June 2011
This excursion was always going to be the highlight of our stay in Naples and it certainly lived up to expectations. Our thanks go to our driver Rosario who, as well as being a mine of information during the day, recommended a very good restaurant for lunch with breathtaking views over Positano. All in all an experience not to be missed.

Review by: Anu M	June 2011
Although this tour provided a beautiful day trip to some of the most amazing sites I have ever seen, I would question whether it was the price my wife and I paid as this is a private tour and cost ~$600. Our driver was a gentleman named Rosario and the tour guide was Maria. Rosario was an absolute delight - sweet, easy going and a very safe driver. Maria was nice enough but we weren’t really thrilled with the experience. We felt rushed through all the cities. We weren’t even able to get any time to really see anything or explore. We literally drove right through Positano and didn’t even stop to see anything. We were very disappointed with the “recommended” restaurant – it was extremely expensive, the food was mediocre, and the service was slow so it took an hour of our already limited day when we could have picked something up to go (better off stopping at a pizza join in Sorrento or Amalfi). Also, it’s scheduled to be an 8 hour trip but you spend nearly an hour just getting to the coast along with the hour long lunch so time in each city is limited with no flexibility to make non-scheduled stops. Although Maria was very knowledgeable and nice, we felt slightly rushed through the experience and felt that we could have utilized our time better.

Review by: Brendon	June 2011
[Let me first say that the local tour company: "Project Napoli Service" is terrible. We had three tours with them and they were the worst in all of Italy. Avoid if at all possible!] Unless you have a big group this tour is not worth it. Our driver spoke no english and our guide, Maria, was extremely lackadaisical. She told us maybe a dozen or so obvious facts all day. The routine for each town is get there, the guide talks for 3mins, then you get 20-30mins of free time, then you spend 30mins driving to the next town. You NEED to go to the Amalfi Coast, but you DO NOT need to do this tour. Not worth the money.

Excellent driver and guide friendly and knowledgeable. Had a great day.

Review by: Jeff M	June 2011
Very knowledgeable about the area.Offered and took pictures of us at the best scenic locations.

Review by: Heather H	June 2011
One of our favorite days of our 2 week trip in Italy!!! Antonio, our driver, was the best!! He took us to the most beautiful places but while driving we chatted about everything! He is very nice, speaks great English and is very knowledgeable about the areas he takes you. The coast is amazing!!!! Beautiful beyond words! Each town is unique and wonderful! The best part was where we ate lunch. I do not think I will ever be in such a relaxing beautiful spot again in my life!! A PERFECT DAY!!!

Review by: Anette M	May 2011
Excellent driver, who also guided us, even though that was not his job. Should us a lot of nice places and was very friendly. Good job!!

Review by: Michael D	May 2011
It wasn't worth the cost. The guide was just OK, but I suppose I got better acess to the towns than if I had taken a small bus. Don't bother with the gardens at Ravello. They are very small. Opt for lunch somewhere in Sorrento or Amalfi. The cliffside reataurant we were taken to had a beautiful view but the food was expensive and not very good. I would opt for a longer visit in Sorrento by train or ferry next time. The coastal road did afford spectacular views, though.

Review by: Richard M	May 2011
We really enjoy the trip our driver was excellent he was courteos very helpfull and a very nice person. we had a great experience with Viator so happy we did it with them

Review by: Cheryl W	April 2011
How nice it was to see Felix again as our driver! Our guide, Maria, was wonderful. She did a great job of showing us the important sites in Sorrento, Amalfi, and Ravello. Maria kept the tour interesting for our 3 teen aged daughters!

Review by: KASEY O	April 2011
Highly recommended. Amalfi Coast is beautiful. The advantage of the private tour was we could spend as much or as little time in each place. Maria our guide was fantastic and our driver Joseph contributed to the great tour. Thank you.

Review by: Polly T	April 2011
Viatour was very accomodating. As we live near Naples, they picked us up near the airport as we weren't staying at a hotel. The driver was great! very friendly and knew how to beat possible traffic problems that would have eaten up our time. He was also accomodating and allowed us to skip Sorrento and stop in Vietri instead. We usually drive ourselves down the coast, but couldn't this time. This tour stops in all the best places. We've traveled extensively in Italy and the Amalfi Coast remains one of our favorite places in the country for it's exceptional beauty and the astounding views.

Review by: John P	April 2011
Awesome ! We had a great day, highly recommend ! Rosario was a great driver guide and took us to all the great spots.

Review by: MARC Y	December 2010
Our driver Antonio was very accommodating and knowledgeable. A wonderful day on the Amalfi coast!

Review by: Angelita L. P	November 2010
Truly met our expectations; all the positive reviews of this tour were true. Our driver Antonio spoke good English, was very knowledgeable ot the area and shared it with us. We enjoyed this tour, will recommend to anyone as we do Viator.

Review by: Frank M	November 2010
The guide was awlful. We were on her schedule and not on ours. She gave very little explaination as to the items to see in the town and kept complaining we were not keep up with her.

Review by: Florin M	November 2010
This trip is a must if you're visiting Napoli!

Review by: Joseph S	November 2010
Mr. Rosario made our tour absolutely marvelous and forever memorable. He was extremely professional and also genuinely helped my sis-in-law who has walking difficulties and sometimes needed a wheelchair. Please thank him from our hearts. Joseph, Carmel, & Shirley Melbourne, Australia

My husband and i visited Naples in the half term holidays at the end of October weather was blustery but dry. My husband and i were the only two on this trip we were driven by car with both driver and tour guide. Was again excellent picked up on time car doors opened for us we were made to feel very special stopped for lunch in pretty restaurant on cliff (at own expense). Weather wasn't at its best but had a lovely day thanks to both Andre and driver

Review by: Angela T	November 2010
This is definately the best way to see the coast! Diego, our driver, was fantastic! We lucked out with great weather and the views were spectacular. The lunch recommendation by Diego was perfect. Definately worth the money.

Review by: Regina F	October 2010
Absolutely terrific - thank you Maria (our tour guide) and Ernesto (our wonderful driver)! It was so nice to spend the day touring such beautiful sights. Maria was extremly knowledgeable about the all the towns, gave us some time to ourselves to shop and have lunch, she knows al the great photo stops. Definitely take this tour!

excellent ,on time pick-up & return. excellent driver.

Review by: DOMINIC F	October 2010
A wonderful day spent on the Amalfi Coast with Antonio. The high spot was Ravello but Sorrento is dreadful so give it a miss and proceed to Amalfi and Ravello. The restaurant chosen by Antonio was very pricey and apart from the sensational views the pasta was mediocre.We wanted to go to Da Constantino's (Luigi) in the hills above Positano. Antonio worked his socks off to give us a great day and the tour was exceptional value as private tours are very expensive now. Dom

Review by: Beth W	October 2010
Both our guide and driver proved to be excellent. The Amalfi Coast is stunning and the private tour allowed us to utilize our short time quite well. High recommend this spectacular tour.....

Review by: Sophia C	October 2010
Awesome day! Tony was a great driver. We didn't add the tour guide. You couldn't beat the price at all as we had a large group. Pick up was seamless. Would do it again.

Review by: Roberto D	October 2010
The best shore excursion in our cruise!! Our driver Cesare was fantastic!!! Everything was perfect!!!

Review by: Thomas M, United States of America	July 2010
We really enjoyed our day wtith our guide Diego. We enjoyed our time and learned many new facts about the area.

Review by: Michele F, United States of America	July 2010
We had a great time on the Amlfi coast day trip. Our driver was wonderful - very friendly and great at his job. We went on a Sunday so traffic was a bit thick when heading out . The driver had called our hotel and recommended going Monday instead of Sunday but we did not have the time to spare. It was nice that he offered and I would recommend staying away from the drive during high beach season weekends due to this traffic. But, overall it was wonderful! Highly recommend this day trip

Review by: Cyril T, United States of America	June 2010
This was seriously the highlight of our trip to Italy. If you are stopping in Naples on your cruise I highly recommend seeing the Amalfi coast. You won't regret it. Our driver Rosario was so kind enough to take pictures of us as well as take as to spots along the road where he knew would be a great photo opportunity.

Review by: Larry H, United States of America	June 2010
fantastic day....our favorite day on cruise

Review by: Skip L, United States of America	June 2010
Highly recommend it as opposed to large bus tour. Got to sit and relax and stop where and when we wanted. Tour Guide Maria was very knowledgable. Good value.

Review by: Rohit T, United States of America	June 2010
The trip was fabulous. Rosario from Project Napoli Service was at our hotel in his Mecedes at 9 am 15 minutes early and spoke very good english. He was also very professional and knew the area. The views from all the vistas were great and this was the most relaxing and enjoyable trip within Italy. We returned back to the hotel around 6 PM and were never rushed. Would recommend this trip vs bus tours which we looked at since it gives the flexibility and a more detailed tour of the Amalfi coast.
