My adult daughter and I had a fabulous time on this tour. The views were breathtaking, swimming in the Mediterranean was unforgettable, and visiting Amalfi and Positano was a dream. We highly recommend this tour. The gentleman who drove us from Naples to Sorrento was exceptional—knowledgeable about the area and its traditions, and happy to answer all of our questions.

So much fun! The transportation was a bit off on the outbound, but other than that, it was a wonderful day! We loved it!

Loved it

Jacqueline_F, Oct 2025

This trip was awesome and totally worth it. Rossella and Nino were absolutely fanastic. They shared so much knowledge and allowed us to have soo much fun. The trip from Naples to Sorrentino is a little rough in the bus but it’s doable. We loved walking around Amalfi and Positano. Would recommend this to anyone who wants to see the coast but doesn’t want to stay there. Trains were all set up for us and communication was great.

Views are amazing

Giancarlo_J, Sep 2025

The boat tour (especially with Giovanni and Marco) is amazing, but be prepared to get splashed a little, to get in the water, and all around to have a good time on a nice boat. The guides take their job seriously, but provide a lot of levity — they will point out interesting details about the region. This is definitely a good outing for couples. My only criticism would be that the arrival at Naples is a little messy, but it’s not a big deal. Bring cash for the dock tax!

Our trip was great, the pickup and dropoff for the day was on-time and very quick. Things went a lot smoother than expected, and the weather was perfect for our day trip. Our guide, Antonio, also provided a great experience on the tour!

Amalfi boat trip Spectacular!!!

ReneeDenice_H, Apr 2025

This was by far the best trip I booked during my three week stay in Italy. Our boat captain (Flavio?) was exceptional. He made sure we were continuously comfortable throughout the entire trip. Also was the most organized trip I went on. Awesome!!!

This is a TRANSPORTATION package NOT a TOUR

Wayne_M, Nov 2024

“Tour” is misleading. The “tour” consisted of the deck hand identifying and pointing out islands and towns … that’s about it. This was more of a ‘transportation package’ getting us from Rome to Pasitano/Amalfi. IMO the boat captain drove a bit fast hitting wakes as Ms unnecessarily getting folks wet in the back of the boat. The “tour” was scheduled for 6 hours but we basically wrapped up in 4 hours. We sat around the train station for 2 hours with nothing to do waiting for our train back to Rome.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Dear Wayne, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience didn’t meet your expectations. Your insights are very important to us, and we take them seriously to improve our offerings. We apologize if the speed caused any discomfort. Safety and guest enjoyment are top priorities, and we’ll share your comments with the team to make adjustments where needed. Regarding the two hours of waiting at the train station, this is scheduled to ensure the driver has enough time to navigate traffic and arrive without delays. However, we understand this may have caused inconvenience, and we apologize for any discomfort it created. We’ll explore ways to make the process more efficient in the future, especially during the low season when traffic is less problematic. We appreciate your honesty and hope you might consider giving us another chance to provide a better experience. Our kindest regards

Company is great, train station is hard to navigate. Had to cancel trip day of because we missed the train.

Maggie_L, Nov 2024

Giving a 5 star review because we did not actually get to experience this, but not at the fault of the company! At the fault of my partner and I not allowing ourselves enough travel time. Just a heads up for future travelers who cannot speak Italian- the train station in Rome is huge and confusing. Give yourself plenty of time to get situated because asking for help is difficult because 1) obvious language barrier and 2) the workers seemed more annoyed then anything my and kept passing us along. So do yourself a favor and don’t be naive Americans and do your due diligence!! The company sent us all the information well in advance, but we were unable to get a refund because we canceled the morning of.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you so much for the 5-star review despite not being able to join the tour! We really appreciate your understanding and thoughtfulness. Your advice is spot-on: Rome’s train station can indeed be quite overwhelming, especially for first-time visitors, so giving yourself extra time to navigate it is a great tip for future travelers. We're sorry to hear about the challenges you faced and wish we could have had you on board! We hope you’ll get another chance to join us in the future and experience the Amalfi Coast firsthand. Safe travels, and thank you again for the feedback!

So fun!

Erica_D, Jul 2024

This small boat tour was fantastic! The captain drove the boat well and the host Lucia ( I believe that was her name) was informative, friendly and engaging. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Being able to swim in the water was terrific and stopping to see Positano and Amalfi was a great way to get a feel of the towns in case we ever wanted to spend more time there. We loved it!

AMAZING

Cynthia_B, Jul 2024

Absolutely Amazing!! Boat Captain was amazing, he was knowledgeable of the small towns and gave us a few minutes to swim in the prestine blue waters of Positano and Amalfi. The vibe in the boat was great as well. We also had a little time to shop at each stop.

Nice trip to Amalfi

Ashli_C, Jun 2024

Wonderful trip to the Amalfi Coast. Easy transportation from Rome! We felt like we had enough time (1-1 1/2 hours) in Amalfi and Positano. The boat driver was excellent at navigating the water and the super busy ports. The other assistant was friendly and engaging. I would highly recommend it! Would have been nice over a 14 hour day to have more than just a sandwich provided. They had water, Coke, wine/beer. Would have loved a Coke Zero - felt like they could have asked ahead of time requests for beverages.

It was a great boat trip , maybe more choice for snacks and drinks should be given. overall a great trip and very well organised

PRABHU_A, May 2024

It was wonderful experience overall. Well organized and executed. I had several tours booked through Viator and all tours were well organized

Positano/Amalfi

Lillian_S, Apr 2024

I was disappointed that the tour was not cancelled/postponed when the weather was not optimal. The ocean was so rough, the boat captain felt it was unsafe to dock at Positano, so we missed one of the two places we were supposed to see.

Definitely worth it!

Deborah_A, Nov 2023

The train was easy to find and enjoyable. The shuttle driver from the train station to the boat dock however was not. He had no sign and not easy to find. The boat ride was awesome despite the high waves. Our skipper Lucas took us to both Amalfi and Positano for about an hour each, took us to two places to swim, showed us caves, a waterfall and famous houses and served us drinks and a sandwich. It was the highlight of our trip

Amazing!

Olivia_M, Oct 2023

Our skippers, Luca S. and Antonio D., made this trip so special and memorable for us! They made sure to show us all the beautiful sites, gave us time to swim and explore, AND gave us Prosecco to top it all off! We had so much fun and would recommend this trip to everyone!

Look where we are!!!!!

Tamara_B, Oct 2023

AMAZING!!! We wanted an adventure and we got it!!! Train, bus, boat!!! So much beauty and fun! We were a bit concerned about figuring out the train yet it was fine! Staff was exceptional and the boat captain was amazingly skilled!!! Thanks for the beautiful memories!!!

LOVE IT!

Millie_M, Sep 2023

One of the most beautiful tours We have done! The tour guide name was Giovanni very nice friendly and excellent host. He explained everything and show us the most interesting points of the tour. Love it!

Average Day, Beautiful Place

Kayleigh_C, Jul 2022

I would rate this trip as average. There were things that happened that were out of our control (drunk passengers, rough seas on the way back, etc). However, the driver who was supposed to pick us up from Naples did not have a sign and we could not find anyone, so we ended up leaving an hour after our train arrived. We spent three hours in Amalfi and only 30 minutes in Positano. We had to stop for gas on the way back as well which added about 15 minutes of a delay that almost made us miss our train home. Our guides were great, but for the price, I was expecting more.

Amazing! Must do!

michelle_m, Jun 2022

What a fantastic day! Daniella and Mario made sure everyone had a wonderful time! We had 2 beautiful stops and an hour for a much needed and appreciated swim in the sea. We loved how friendly and accommodating the crew was and how knowledgeable they are about the area. One of the best tours we have ever taken and we have taken many!
