Your Amalfi Coast tour begins in a central meeting point in Sorrento, about a five-minute walk from the train station. Meet the other members of your group (unless the private option is selected.) Excursions can have up to 21 participants, so you’ll get a chance to mingle with other travelers.
Board a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. If you’re in a group of six people or more, you’ll listen to information from your driver and guide as you wind your way along the sea.
Your first stop is the cliffside town of Positano, where you’ll have 90 minutes of free time to walk around. From there, head to Amalfi by boat—about a 25-minute ride (only in late spring, summer, and early fall, and not available for private tours). Enjoy two hours to shop and sightsee at your own pace and visit the famous Duomo.
Your final stop is quiet, hilltop Ravello. Visit medieval-era Villa Rufolo, now a famous music venue (own expense) and browse ceramics boutiques along the town’s winding streets. Small-group tours end at the meeting point. If you’ve upgraded to a private tour, then you’ll be dropped off at your hotel.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day traveling to these three destinations. Our tour guide, Roberto, was very entertaining and knowledgeable. The shuttle driver did an excellent job navigating the narrow roads. The views were beautiful both on the road and on the boat ride to Positano. We enjoyed visiting Amalfi and Positano, but the day we went, a cruise ship arrived which made our visit very crowded. We loved our last stop in Ravello a smaller, less crowded town. We definitely recommend this tour for newcomers such as ourselves to learn about the history of this beautiful area.

Today our tour guide was Danilo. He was a nice, friendly tour guide but sometimes used to many “swear” words during the drive. I felt visiting all three places was alit of the same thing. House on cliffs. All the towns were very similar and it basically was just a lot of shopping and/or eating. If I was to do this again I would only visit one of the towns.
Denise_C, Apr 2026
Easy meeting point. Covered alot of area in the amount of time we had but left you wanting to come back on your own which we did another day.
doristobin13, Apr 2026
Very good tour and lots of time to explore the 3 cities. Roberto was very funny and informative! Highly recommend!
Tony_S, Apr 2026
Roberto was an excellent tour guide. Clear instructions and entertaining. Be prepared for a long day with a lot of walking. Don’t pass on the optional boat excursion. Well worth the cost. It was a great day.
Linda_D, Apr 2026
Wonderful day seeing beautiful scenery ( and shops). Roberto our tour guide was fabulous and funny. He gave us some history and showed us the highlights in each city which made our trip very easy. His years of experience was useful in helping a disabled member of our group and getting a parcel back that someone left on a boat.
The driver(sorry forgot his name) was a magician on these narrow windy roads and made the trip very smooth for us.
A long but lovely day.
Barb_R, Apr 2026
Wonderful day - Roberto and Giovani were excellent guides. Incredibly beautiful scenery! They provided many tips on what to see in each city. The extra boat excursion was worth it as well. Great day with great people.
Lisa_P, Apr 2026
What a great introduction to the beautiful towns on the Almafi coast. Our tour guide Mary Lou was wonderful, so knowledgeable and so sweet.
Bruce_O, Apr 2026
Beautiful sites to see. Wonderful places to visit. Guide and bus driver were great. Special kudos to our guide - great info delivered with humor!
Susan_H, Apr 2026
This tour was definitely worthwhile.The combination of transport by bus with our excellent driver Fabio, and boat from Positano to Amalfi was perfect. We took the optional boat tour too which went much nearer the coast. Our guide, Roberto, was informative, funny and made us all feel like we were his “Family”! We also had free time to explore and take photos.
Robert_S, Apr 2026
Enjoyable experience to visit the three towns and the ferry plus sight seeing boat off the Amalfi coast.
The guide and driver were excellent
Ranjana_B, Apr 2026
The day was fantastic. The tour guide is extremely knowledgeable. We wish we had a little more time in Positano because the steps take awhile to walk up! The drive back can make you a bit car sick. Highly recommend this tour to hit all the highlights of the Amalfi coast. Also pay for the boat tour in Amalfi.
Kathleen_M, Apr 2026
Great way to visit. Danilo was a good host. Informative and entertaining. Doing this tour gave us opportunities we wouldn’t have had if trying to do it ourselves. We didn’t feel rushed the bus was comfortable and the driver was great! They must have nerves of steel do navigate through those narrow streets with scooters dodging in and out of traffic !
Jane_R, Apr 2026
Sensational day exploring the Amalfi Coast, Positano, Amalfi and Ravello were absolute highlights. I loved wandering Positano’s colourful streets, enjoying a limoncello gelato, picking up souvenirs and taking soooo many photos. The ferry from Positano to Amalfi was a standout, stunning views of the coastline from the water. Amalfi’s historic centre was vibrant, and Ravello was the perfect finale with its peaceful charm and breathtaking views from Villa Rufolo.
'Robbie' (Roberto), was one of the best guides I’ve ever had, funny, engaging, and clearly backed by 20 years of experience with exceptional knowledge. Our driver Giuseppe was fantastic, navigating the winding, narrow roads with ease.
Perfectly paced, seamless, and unforgettable, highly recommend! 10/10!!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Traveler,
Thank you so much for the 10/10 review!
We’re so happy you had such a sensational day. It sounds like you truly captured the magic of the coast: from the limoncello gelato in Positano to the breathtaking serenity of Villa Rufolo in Ravello. There really is nothing quite like seeing those cliffs from the sea during the ferry ride!
Roberto and Giuseppe will be pleased to hear your praise. We’re proud to have Roberto’s 20 years of expertise and Giuseppe’s steady hand behind the wheel to make everything feel so seamless.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable journey!
Warmest regards,

Very good tour of the Amalfi Coast. Our host was Lucio (sorry if I misspelt!). He was attentive, helpful, enthusiastic and entertaining- clearly someone who is proud of being Italian and someone who loves his job. The groups size was quite big - 21 people but he organised us well and the timings were spot on. Big thank you to the driver too - Andrea was exceptional good at navigating the roads and keeping us safe
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Traveler,
Thank you so much for your kind words!
We are delighted to hear that you had such a great time on the Amalfi Coast. You spelled it perfectly: Lucio will be so happy to hear that his passion for his work and his country shone through! We also agree that Andrea is a true professional; navigating those coastal roads is an art form.
We’re glad the organization and timing worked well for you despite the group size. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to see you back in Italy soon!
Warm regards,

We had a great guide Roberto who made the trip fun. Positano & Ravello were fantastic. Amalfi was nice but super crowded on the streets. We were there in April & it was busy. They say the summer is worse. It was good to experience it & it’s included on this excursion- but I would probably skip Amalfi in the future. The views were fantastic & it was great having a guide to manage us through the areas.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Traveler,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We are so happy to hear that Roberto made the trip fun and that his guidance helped you navigate the day with ease.
It’s great to know you enjoyed the magic of Positano and Ravello. As one of the most famous spots in the world, Amallfi does get quite lively even in April! You are right that the summer months bring even larger crowds, which is why we do our best to provide a professional guide to manage the logistics, allowing you to focus on those fantastic views instead of the hustle and bustle.
While Amalfi is a staple of the region, we appreciate your honest feedback. Every traveler has a different rhythm, and we are glad that, despite the crowds, you found the excursion to be a worthwhile way to experience these iconic locations.
We would love to have you back on board to explore more hidden gems of the coast!
Kind regards,
The IAMME IA! Gray Line Team

We were concerned about being cramped, as we are both tall, but the bus was both comfortable and spacious. Our driver was truly a professional, managing the small streets with ease. He announced and slowed for excellent picture opportunities as we passed from one town to the next. It didn't feel rushed, and we enjoyed our time to experience each town. We definitely want to return to Ravello!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Traveler,
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are so pleased to hear that we could put your concerns to rest; we prioritize using comfortable and spacious buses specifically to ensure that all our guests can relax and enjoy the journey in total comfort.
It is fantastic to hear your praise for our driver! Navigating the narrow, winding coastal roads is an art form, and we are glad his professional handling and his eye for perfect picture opportunities made your trip even more special. We always aim to provide a pace that feels relaxed, so it’s great to know you felt you had the time to truly soak in the atmosphere of each town without feeling rushed.
It sounds like Ravello cast its usual spell on you—it is truly a place that stays in the heart! We would be absolutely delighted to take you back there on your next visit.

Lucio our guide was incredible and helpful.
Tour good but our preference would have been to have more time in Ravello.
Additional boat trip offered was a bit of an error on our part with hindsight we should have chosen otherwise.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Traveler,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us! We are so pleased to hear that Lucio took such good care of you; our guides always aim to make the journey as smooth and insightful as possible.
We truly appreciate your honest thoughts on the itinerary. Ravello is indeed a hidden gem, and its quiet charm often leaves guests wishing for just a few more moments in the gardens. We also take note of your comment regarding the optional boat trip; while it offers a different perspective of the cliffs, we understand that sometimes staying on land allows for a deeper exploration of the towns themselves. This is precisely why we keep the boat trip as an optional addition, giving our guests the freedom to choose the pace that best suits their personal preferences.
Your insights help us refine our tours to ensure the best possible experience for our guests. We hope to see you again soon to explore even more of our beautiful coastline!
Kind regards,
The IAMME IA! Gray Line Team
John_L, Apr 2026
Excellent tour, with helpful guides (we had Daneli). The extra boat trip at 15 euros each was worth every cent! Ravello is off the beaten track but is a place worth visiting, the only drawback is that you don't have enough time to explore Positano, Amalfi and Ravello, but the journeys taken and the trip back from Ravello are through some exceptional countryside visas.
We would recommend this trip to anyone visiting Sorrento who wishes to see a bit more of the area!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Traveler,
Thank you for your recommendation! We are glad you enjoyed the boat trip and your guide's assistance. Since the Coast is so vast, our tour provides a curated introduction to its gems; however, we are pleased the views from Ravello made it worthwhile. We take your feedback on timing to heart and hope to welcome you back for a more tailored experience to explore even further!
Warm regards,

So many amazing views! The free time flies but it’s still a worth while trip if you don’t mind having a timeline. The coast is stunning.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Traveler,
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that the stunning views of the Amalfi Coast made your trip worthwhile.

Our guide Roberto and driver Giovanni were fantastic. Roberto shared so much information on our tour, and he had a great sense of humor and personality. In addition, Giovanni drove us safely to our tour stops. He was careful at all times.
This tour was wonderful.

A great day out. For the best views, sit on the right side of the bus and be ready for some twisty roads. We also did over four miles of walking - so be ready.
Our guide Lucio was great and so was the driver Andrea.
Stunning scenery and buildings.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Traveler,
Thank you for sharing your experience! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the stunning scenery and that Lucio and Andrea took such great care of you.
While the right side is indeed a classic choice for the best views, the compact size of our buses ensures that everyone gets a clear look at the landscape, making every seat a good one for photos.
We hope you’ve recovered from your four-mile walk and would love to welcome you back for another adventure soon!

We got a very good time on the tour and learn learned a lot about the Amalfi Coast area. We enjoyed being on a boat for a while, as well as walking through the Amalfi towns. It was a lot of fun.

We had a wonderful day with our tour guide Sergio who was a lovely man, also very funny and full of great info! Nello our driver was amazing at tackling the roads and traffic!
The day is well organised and structured - the only thing I would say is that this tour is good to just give you a taste of the places you visit but you don’t get enough time at each to fully explore and enjoy but for us this is what we expected and were happy with anyway.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Traveler,
Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review of your experience with us!
We are happy to hear that you had a great time. We will certainly share your compliments with Sergio, who loves sharing his knowledge with a laugh, and Nello, who takes great pride in navigating our beautiful (and busy!) roads with ease.
We appreciate your insight regarding the tour’s pace; while our goal is to showcase the highlights of the Coast in an organized way, we’re happy to hear it was exactly what you were looking for. It was a pleasure to have you on board!
We would love to have you back on board in the future! Whether it's to revisit your favorite spots or discover new ones, you’re always welcome.

We had an excellent day exploring Amalfi from Sorrento. Having travel and an itinerary figured out made it completely relaxed and enjoyable. Our guide was great and lots of fun. The add on of a ferry ride was perfect.

Dear Traveler,
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback!
We are pleased that our organized itinerary allowed you to fully relax and enjoy the wonders of the Amalfi Coast. We are especially glad that you enjoyed the ferry ride; we take great pride in offering a perfectly balanced "land and sea" experience, as we believe seeing the coast from both perspectives is truly the best way to take in its beauty.

It was a great day. Robbie our tour guide was good at showing you the highlights of each town. He then would give you free time in each city to explore on our own. Loved it he kept us moving and on schedule with humor and energy. Fabio the bus driver was very good on the twists and turns and managing tight spaces.
