Exploring the Amalfi Coast with a Private Fiat 500 Photo Tour
Imagine cruising along narrow coastal roads in a vintage Fiat 500, the sun warming your face, and your camera ready to snap some of Italy’s most breathtaking vistas. This private tour, costing around $418.63 for up to two people, lasts about two hours and takes you through iconic spots like Positano, Praiano, Furore Fjord, and possibly Amalfi itself. The guide, Andrea, is not just a driver but also a professional photographer who will capture your special moments with photos, videos, and a personalized Instagram Reel.
What we really love about this experience is the intimacy and flexibility it offers. Unlike crowded group tours, this is just you and your companion, with Andrea tailoring the stops and photography to your preferences. The charm of cruising in a classic Fiat 500 adds a nostalgic touch that enhances the entire experience.

One potential consideration is the time spent at each stop—just around 10 minutes—so if you’re hoping for a leisurely exploration or extensive sightseeing, this might feel a bit quick.

Still, if you’re after stunning coastal views and memorable photos, this experience checks all the boxes.

What’s Included and How It Works
Pricing at $418.63 covers private transportation in a vintage Fiat 500, a professional photo and video session, and delivery of all images via AirDrop, WhatsApp, email, or WeTransfer. Andrea, the guide and photographer, is fluent in English and makes sure the session is relaxed yet productive. The tour is designed for just your group—up to two people—making it a very personal experience.
The Itinerary: From Positano to Beyond
The journey begins in Positano, where you’ll get that classic view of colorful houses clinging to the hillside and the shimmering sea below. Andrea will take you to the most photogenic spots, giving you a chance to pose with the iconic pyramid of houses as your backdrop.

Next, the tour moves to Praiano, a quieter town offering sweeping views of the Gulf of Salerno. Its sun-kissed atmosphere and crystal-clear waters make it a perfect setting for memorable photos. Many reviewers appreciated how Andrea directed them to get the best lighting and angles, often showing previews before moving on.
The Furore Fjord is a highlight—an inlet with a tiny beach and a striking bridge, providing a dramatic backdrop that’s rarely crowded. Keep in mind that Furore is not included if you’re starting from the Sorrento Peninsula, so if you’re based there, check the specifics. Amalfi itself is sometimes included if you start from there, but not always. The brief stops mean you’ll want to be ready to move quickly to maximize each location.

The car itself is a beautifully maintained vintage Fiat 500, which not only adds charm but also makes for great photo props. The combination of scenic stops and the rolling coastal drive creates a sense of luxury and authenticity, making the tour feel genuinely special.
The Photos and Videos: Are They Worth It?
Almost all reviewers mention being thrilled with their images. The photos are described as “beyond expectations,” “phenomenal,” and “gorgeous.” Many also appreciate that images are delivered quickly, often shortly after the session ends.
