Amalfi Coast Full-Day Tour

Naples to Positano, Amalfi and Vietri sul Mare: Private 8-Hour Tour

Cliffside villages, ceramic traditions, and the timeless allure of the Tyrrhenian Sea


This Amalfi Coast day trip from Naples takes you through three of the coastline's most celebrated destinations, combining natural scenery, cultural heritage, and the unhurried pace of southern Italian life. A private chauffeur-driven vehicle ensures your comfort throughout the journey, letting you focus entirely on the views and experiences along the way.

The route winds along one of Italy's most dramatic shorelines, where cliffs drop sharply into clear turquoise water and pastel-colored villages cling to the hillsides. Each stop on this itinerary offers a distinct character, from the fashionable boutiques and sun-soaked beach of Positano to the medieval grandeur of Amalfi and the ceramic artistry of Vietri sul Mare.

The region's culinary identity is inseparable from its landscape. Fragrant Sfusato Amalfitano lemons grow on terraced hillsides and find their way into local dishes, pastries, and the celebrated limoncello liqueur available throughout the coast.

Because the drive itself covers roughly five hours of scenic coastal road, travel time is part of the experience. Traffic conditions can vary, particularly during peak season, but the scenery along the route remains consistently rewarding regardless of pace.

Tour Highlights

Explore the winding streets and colorful cliffside houses of Positano, one of the coast's most photogenic towns.

Relax at Spiaggia Grande, Positano's main beach, with direct access to the crystal-clear waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Wander the historic center of Amalfi, a UNESCO-listed town shaped by ancient Roman, Byzantine, and medieval influences.

Discover the ceramic traditions of Vietri sul Mare, including a visit to Ceramica Artistica Solimene and the local Ceramic Museum.

Enjoy a coffee or gelato at a seafront cafe in Vietri sul Mare while taking in panoramic views of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Admire the ceramic-tiled murals adorning Vietri sul Mare's streets and the elegant Church of San Giovanni Battista.

Travel in comfort aboard a private chauffeur-driven vehicle along the full length of the Amalfi Coast road.
