Description

Discover the wonders of the Amalfi Coast on this guided trip from Rome. Travel in comfort on a private bus to Sorrento and then take in the passing sights like cliffside villages and turquoise waters on a ferry ride along the coast. Stop in beautiful Positano for free time and shopping. With all the logistics arranged, you can soak in the incredible views and experience an unforgettable day on the Amalfi coast. 

The day starts in Rome where you’ll board a private, air-conditioned bus with your group and tour leader. From there, hop on a ferry ride that takes you along the stunning Amalfi Coast.

Your first stop is Sorrento, where you’ll have time to explore its picturesque streets. If you’d like, start your day with breakfast overlooking the coast (not included). The relaxed vibe and stunning scenery make this a perfect introduction to the Amalfi Coast. 

Then, embark on a ferry ride along the epic coastline to your next stop, the neighboring town of Positano, a small fishing village that has long been the holiday destination of choice for VIPs, from the Romantic poets of the 19th century to today’s Hollywood stars. After an orientation walk with your guide, you’ll have two hours of free time. Browse the boutiques filled with world-famous beachwear, have leather sandals made to fit your feet, or enjoy a lunch of local delicacies at a seaside cafe (costs not included). Don’t forget to bring your swimsuit, as there’s nothing nicer on a summer’s day than a dip in the sea. 

After you've gotten to know Positano, head back on the boat for a return cruise to Salerno where you’ll catch your private bus back to Rome.
