Naples to Positano, Ravello and Cetara Private Tour

A curated coastal journey through three of the Amalfi Coast's most captivating destinations


This Amalfi Coast private tour takes you from Naples through the cliffside village of Positano, the hilltop town of Ravello, and the fishing harbor of Cetara in a single, well-paced full day. Each stop offers a distinct character, from Positano's colorful boutiques and beaches to Ravello's panoramic gardens and Cetara's anchovy-lined streets. A private chauffeur-driven vehicle ensures comfort throughout the scenic coastal drive.

The Amalfi Coast road is one of Italy's most celebrated drives, threading through dramatic cliffs, terraced lemon groves, and azure sea views. While driving time along the route is approximately five hours, the scenery itself rewards every moment on the road. Conditions can vary with traffic, but the coastal landscape consistently offers something worth watching.

Each destination on this itinerary invites a different pace. Positano rewards those who wander its steep lanes and linger on its beach. Ravello suits those drawn to architecture, gardens, and elevated viewpoints. Cetara appeals to visitors curious about traditional Italian fishing culture and regional food heritage.

Meals are taken at local restaurants where the menu reflects the coast's produce and maritime tradition. Fresh seafood, house-made pasta, and regional antipasti appear regularly on menus throughout all three towns. Dining here is as much a part of the experience as the sightseeing itself.
