Private Tour: Full-Day Amalfi Coast from Sorrento
Discover the world-famous coastline at your own pace, with a dedicated driver and a comfortable Mercedes vehicle.
This private Amalfi Coast tour from Sorrento offers a fully flexible, unhurried journey along one of Italy's most celebrated stretches of Mediterranean shoreline. With a dedicated English-speaking driver and a premium Mercedes vehicle at your disposal, the itinerary adapts entirely to your preferences.
From the cliffside glamour of Positano to the cathedral square of Amalfi and the elevated gardens of Ravello, each stop invites genuine exploration rather than a rushed tick-box experience. Your driver provides insider recommendations on dining, photography spots, and local customs throughout the day.
The tour suits couples, families, and small groups who want the freedom to linger where they choose, skip what does not interest them, and experience the Amalfi Coast on their own terms. No fixed group schedule, no waiting for strangers.

Dedicated stops at scenic viewpoints, including the dramatic Fjord of Furore bridge, to capture the landscape at its most photogenic.
Hotel pickup and drop-off included from your accommodation in the Sorrento area, with no need to arrange separate transfers.

Itinerary
1
Sorrento — Departure Point
Your driver collects you directly from your accommodation in the Sorrento area. Positioned on a tuff rock above the sea, Sorrento has long been associated with the mythical sirens of ancient legend. The coastal drive south begins here, with commentary from your driver as the landscape unfolds.
2
Positano — Cliffside Village
Stroll through the narrow lanes of Positano, browse the distinctive boutiques of the Moda Positano fashion scene, and pick up handcrafted souvenirs. A walk down to the beach and a gelato from a local bar are well worth the short descent.
3
Fjord of Furore — Scenic Stop
A brief stop at the Fjord of Furore provides the opportunity to photograph the striking 30-metre-high bridge above this small inlet. The site hosts an annual high-diving world championship, drawing athletes from across the globe each summer.
4
Amalfi — Cathedral and Paper Museum
Visit the 9th-century Cathedral of Saint Andrew in Piazza del Duomo, one of the finest examples of Arab-Norman architecture on the Italian coast. History enthusiasts may also choose to visit the Paper Museum, which documents Amalfi's pioneering role in European papermaking during the 12th and 13th centuries.
5
Emerald Grotto — Optional Visit
Accessible only by boat from Amalfi, the Emerald Grotto is an illuminated sea cave where sunlight filtered through an underwater opening creates vivid emerald reflections inside. This stop is optional and carries a separate entrance fee payable on site.
6
Ravello — Gardens and Panoramas
Ravello sits high above the coastline, offering sweeping views over both the Gulf of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno. The gardens of Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone — including the celebrated Infinity Terrace and a wisteria-draped pergola — reward visitors with some of the most memorable vistas on the entire Amalfi Coast.
