Sorrento-Positano-Amalfi Combined Tour with Lunch

Experience the Best of the Amalfi Coast in a Day

If you’re looking to soak in some of Italy’s most breathtaking coastal scenery without the hassle of planning, the Sorrento-Positano-Amalfi tour offers a well-rounded glimpse into this iconic stretch of the Mediterranean. For around $207.57 per person, you’ll spend approximately 9 hours exploring charming towns, snapping unforgettable photos, and enjoying a delicious seaside lunch. Led by knowledgeable guides (who earn glowing reviews), this trip hits key highlights with a balance of free time and guided stops.

What we especially love about this tour is how it combines stunning vistas with authentic experiences—like watching Limoncello production and wandering through lively artisan streets. The beautiful coastal views from the vehicle and walkways, along with the chance to relax in Positano’s famous staircases and Amalfi’s historic piazza, make it feel like a true Italian daydream. The included lunch on a terrace overlooking the sea is a highlight, providing both delicious food and a memorable setting.

One thing to consider is that the tour’s schedule is quite full, which means time in each location can feel a bit rushed—perfect if you want a quick taste rather than a deep dive.
