Ravello and Vietri sul Mare: A Private Day Tour from Naples

Discover hilltop gardens, ceramic artistry, and the timeless beauty of the Amalfi Coast in a single unforgettable day.


This private day tour from Naples to Ravello and Vietri sul Mare combines two of the Amalfi Coast's most distinctive destinations into a seamless, chauffeured journey. From panoramic clifftop terraces to hand-painted ceramic workshops, the experience balances cultural depth with coastal scenery.

Ravello sits high above the coastline, offering a quieter, more contemplative atmosphere than the busier towns below. The town centers on Piazza Duomo, from which you can explore centuries-old villas, sculpted gardens, and viewpoints that stretch far across the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Vietri sul Mare marks the northern gateway to the Amalfi Coast and is celebrated for its tradition of hand-painted ceramics. The town's historic center features narrow lanes, old churches, and workshops where artisans continue techniques passed down through generations.

The drive along the Amalfi Coast road itself is a significant part of the experience. Carved into steep limestone cliffs above turquoise waters, the route offers a continuous sequence of views that reward patience with any traffic encountered along the way.

Tour Highlights

Walk through Villa Rufolo and admire its historic architecture, terraced gardens, and sweeping views over the Amalfi Coast.

Stand at the Terrace of the Infinite at Villa Cimbrone, one of the most celebrated viewpoints on the entire Italian coastline.

Explore Vietri sul Mare's renowned ceramic tradition, with shops and studios displaying vibrant, hand-painted designs.

Visit the Church of Saint John the Baptist in Vietri sul Mare, a landmark that reflects the town's deep historical and religious heritage.

Travel the full length of the scenic Amalfi Coast road in a private, chauffeur-driven vehicle for a comfortable and flexible journey.

Wander the enchanting gardens of Villa Cimbrone, known for their sculptural details and Mediterranean plantings.

Discover Ravello's charming streets lined with historic architecture, local art, and a tranquil ambiance unlike the coastal towns below.
