If you have a day free of obligations while in Sorrento, set off on this 8-hour odysey along the spellbinding Amalfi Coast. This isn’t one of those massive group tours where you’re just another head in the crowd.

Rather, you’ll go on a private adventure designed to suit your preferences on the From Sorrento: Positano, Amalfi, & Ravello Private Day Trip Tour!

Kick things off by being picked up in a private Mercedes coach or sedan (depending on your party’s size), where you’ll set off for the coast. As you cruise along the Italian countryside, your guide/driver will fill you in with interesting stories and historical accounts.

After having some leisure time in Positano, head on over to Amalfi where you’ll get to learn all about the history about the medieval cathedral located in the Piazza del Duomo.

Dedicated to the Apostle Saint Andrew, it’s been around since the 9th century on ruins of a previous temple and has quite the stories. After taking time to explore the vibrant town as you wish, you’ll make the journey over to the gorgeous Ravello.

Watch the coastline unfurl like a ribbon, enjoying the views of the surrounding vineyards and rolling hills until you reach the cliff-perched town of Ravello.

It almost feels like you’ve been transported to another era here, so enjoy a delicious local meal with the rest of your group. The views of the coast here are impeccable, and perfect for soaking it all in or simply taking some snapshots.

Towns You Will See on the Amalfi Coast

Italy is just a small fraction of the size of the United States, but it’s impressive how much culture and beauty can fit into just the Amalfi Coast, alone. Let’s go over the sites you can expect to see on your Amalfi Coast tour!

1. Positano – This westernmost town is known as being a fishing village with plenty of charm. It’s also known for its trendy fashion, being a celebrity destination, and is no stranger to yacht parties. The pastel-colored villas are beautiful, and we’ve never seen anything quite like it. The 13th-century Santa Maria Assunta church is of particular draw, with its dome sporting majolica tiles and the Byzantine Black Madonna.

2. Amalfi – Couldn’t have guessed this one, huh? Amalfi is so rich in flavor, culture, art, and natural beauty. We hope you enjoy the smell of flowers, because they seem to be cascading everywhere, with the blue sea in the background. The Duomo di Sant’Andrea sits overlooking it all, with a very similar dom to that of the Santa Maria Assunta. Learn all about its centuries-old paper-making traditions as well as Limoncello!

3. Ravello – Ravello feels like you’ve been transported back in time, with its lush gardens surrounding very old, traditional Roman architecture. Churches, monasteries, villas, palaces – it’s packed with 12th-and-13th-century icons.

4. Salerno – Now we’re at the eastern end of the peninsula, which was once the seat of the Fascists during WWII. While the inevitable bombing and invasion left much of it in ruins, you can still see the Castello di Arechi up on a hill, as well as some Roman aqueduct sections, and a beautiful cathedral.
