Private Day Tour from Naples
Naples to Positano, Vietri sul Mare and Salerno: Private Amalfi Coast Tour
A full-day journey through the most celebrated villages and cities of the southern Italian coast.
This private Amalfi Coast tour from Naples brings together three distinct destinations in a single, well-paced day. Positano, Vietri sul Mare, and Salerno each offer their own character, allowing travelers to experience the coastline, local craftsmanship, and southern Italian urban life without rushing.
The journey unfolds along one of the most scenic coastal roads in Europe. A private chauffeur-driven vehicle handles the logistics, so passengers can focus entirely on the landscapes unfolding beyond the window.
Positano draws visitors with its steep, color-washed streets and clear waters, while Vietri sul Mare is recognized across Italy for its hand-painted ceramic tradition. Salerno rounds out the day with a historic waterfront and a lively city center worth exploring on foot.
Because this is a private tour, the pace is flexible. Travelers can linger at a viewpoint, step into a ceramic workshop, or pause for a seaside espresso without being tied to a group schedule.
