Amalfi Coast Day Tour from Naples: Positano, Amalfi & Ravello
Three iconic villages, one unforgettable coastline, a single day well spent
This full-day Amalfi Coast tour from Naples takes you through one of the most celebrated stretches of Mediterranean shoreline, combining dramatic cliff roads, pastel-colored villages, and centuries of layered history into a single immersive experience.
Departing Naples, the route climbs past the slopes of Vesuvius and curves around the Gulf of Naples before descending into the terrain that defines the Amalfi Coast. A knowledgeable driver-guide accompanies the group throughout, offering context on local architecture, coastal geography, and the communities that have shaped this UNESCO-listed landscape.
The itinerary centers on three distinct stops: the cliffside resort town of Positano, the historic maritime republic of Amalfi, and the hilltop garden village of Ravello. Each location offers its own character and pace, allowing time to walk narrow lanes, observe local life, and take in views that have drawn travelers for generations.
The tour is rated easy in difficulty and is suitable for a wide range of travelers. No strenuous hiking is required, though the coastal terrain naturally involves steps and uneven surfaces in places.

Itinerary
The tour begins in Naples, heading southeast through the landscape shaped by Vesuvius and the broader Gulf of Naples. The driver-guide begins orienting the group to the geography and history of the region.
The first stop is Positano, the most photographed town on the coast. Free time allows exploration of its stacked streets, ceramic shops, and clifftop viewpoints overlooking the beach.
The group continues to Amalfi, the historic center that lends the coast its name. Key sites include the Piazza del Duomo and the Cathedral of Sant'Andrea, a layered example of Arab-Norman architecture.
The final stop ascends to Ravello, set high above the sea. The village is known for Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone, whose gardens and belvederes offer some of the most celebrated panoramas on the coast.
After the Ravello visit, the group returns along the coastal road back toward Naples, completing the full-day circuit with approximately 8 hours of total tour time.
