Private Full-Day Amalfi Coast Tour with Pickup

A full day exploring Italy’s most beautiful stretch of coastline, with a private, comfortable ride and visits to Positano, Ravello, and Amalfi.
At $371 per person, this tour offers about 7 to 8 hours of sightseeing, including pickup, so you won’t have to worry about transportation or logistics. Expect to walk through cozy alleys, enjoy breathtaking vistas, and sample some of Italy’s best ceramics and limoncello. We especially appreciate how personal and flexible this experience feels, making it ideal for those who prefer a tailored day out rather than a crowded group tour.

Two standout features are the walking tours in Positano — with its picture-perfect streets and seaside promenade — and the visits to Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo in Ravello, which offer unbelievable views and inspire romance and creativity. The only potential downside is that visiting three places in one day means a fair amount of driving and walking, so those with limited mobility might find it a bit demanding.

This tour suits travelers who crave authentic local experiences, stunning photo opportunities, and a private, relaxed pace. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want to soak in the scenery without the hassle of self-driving, this tour might be just the ticket.

How the Tour Begins: Comfort and Convenience

From the moment you book this private tour, your experience is designed to be fuss-free. With pickup included, you won’t need to navigate busy streets or worry about parking. Instead, you’ll hop into a clean, air-conditioned vehicle, complete with WiFi and bottled water — making the journey as comfortable as the destinations themselves. When our reviewer took this tour, they appreciated the driver’s professionalism and friendly attitude, which set a relaxed tone for the day.

Positano: The Vertical City of Charm

Your first stop is Positano, the quintessential postcard town. We loved the way the tour allowed us to stroll through its winding alleys, lined with local stores selling linen and handmade sandals — perfect souvenirs to bring home. The promenade along the beach offers sweeping views of the colorful, cliff-hugging buildings, and the iconic vertical city backdrop makes it one of the most photographed spots along the coast.

Travelers often comment on how Positano’s charm lies in its details. The narrow streets, hillside cafes, and artisan shops create an atmosphere of authentic Italian seaside life. The one-hour stop is just enough to wander, take photos, and soak in the vibrant ambiance without feeling rushed. As one visitor, Virginia, noted, “Everything was perfect from start to finish. Our driver was awesome. I definitely recommend this stop.”

Ravello: The City of Music and Infinity Views

Next, the journey takes you 350 meters above sea level to Ravello. This hilltop town is renowned for inspiring musicians like Wagner and for its breathtaking panoramic views. We loved how the leisurely pace allowed us to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, explore limoncello stores, and admire the lush gardens.

The visit to Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo is particularly memorable. These historic estates with their lush gardens and terraces offer views that seem to stretch forever. The elegant architecture and tranquil surroundings are perfect for imagining a romantic wedding or a peaceful retreat. As one reviewer pointed out, “You can understand why many people dream of getting married here, and why Jacqueline Kennedy loved it.”

Amalfi: The Historic Coastline Town

Our final stop was Amalfi, a former independent republic with a rich trading history. The town’s bustling streets are lined with colorful ceramics and aromatic lemon and olive gardens. The highlight here is the Duomo di Amalfi, a stunning Byzantine-style cathedral built in the 9th century, which provides a tangible link to the city’s proud heritage.

The hour-long visit offers time to explore the cathedral, browse local shops, and – of course – enjoy a homemade Italian gelato. Visitors often remark on the friendly, proud residents and the vibrant atmosphere that makes Amalfi a lively yet charming spot to end your day.
