Experience the Charm of Positano and the Amalfi Coast in Vintage Style
Imagine cruising along the breathtaking Amalfi Coast in a classic vintage car, with the wind in your hair and panoramic views of pastel-colored houses clinging to the cliffs. This private tour offers just that—an intimate, two-hour journey guided by local experts Paolo or Mauro, who share their love for vintage vehicles, photography, and their beloved hometown of Positano. For a reasonable $442 per group, you’ll get a chance to not only see some of Italy’s most iconic spots but also capture stunning photographs with your own smartphone.
What we love most about this experience is the personal touch it offers—guides who are genuinely passionate about their land and happy to share stories and legends that bring the scenery to life. Plus, the opportunity to drive a vintage car transforms sightseeing into an interactive adventure, making it perfect for couples, friends, or anyone eager for a unique way to explore. The pictures you’ll take will serve as lasting memories—think postcard-perfect shots in dolce vita style.
One thing to consider is the length of the tour—two hours might feel brief if you’re craving a more expansive exploration. Still, for those who want a concentrated dose of beauty and culture, it hits the sweet spot. This experience suits travelers who are comfortable with a bit of adventure behind the wheel or happy to sit back and enjoy the ride while soaking in spectacular views.
If you’re looking for an authentic, memorable way to see the coast that combines stunning vistas, local storytelling, and a stylish ride, this tour is likely to be a highlight of your trip. It’s especially ideal for photography lovers and those who enjoy a personal, tailored experience rather than a large-group tour.

A Deep Dive Into the Experience
The Itinerary: What You’ll See and Do
The tour begins in Positano, arguably the most photogenic town on the coast. Guides Paolo and Mauro will take you to the most panoramic and photographed spots, including those with the famous “pyramid” background. Expect to spend about an hour here, soaking in the vibrant colors of the houses cascading down cliffs, cobbled streets, and breathtaking views that have made Positano a favorite among travelers and photographers alike.
Next, you’ll head to Praiano, a quieter, equally scenic town that offers a different perspective of the coast. Here, the views stretch from Positano across the water, including Li Galli islands, Nerano, and even as far as Capri’s Faraglioni. Spending around 30 minutes, this stop gives you a sense of the coast’s quieter charm.
The final highlight is the Furore Fjord, one of the most iconic landmarks along the coast. Known for its dramatic cliffs and natural beauty, the fjord resembles something from Nordic landscapes—an unexpected but stunning contrast to the Mediterranean setting. Here, you’ll spend around 30 minutes, capturing photos of the colorful boats, towering cliffs, and crystal-clear waters.
What Makes This Tour Special
The guides’ local knowledge is a major plus. Both Paolo and Mauro were born and raised in Positano, which means they bring an authentic perspective and tons of local legends and stories. As one reviewer put it, Paolo was “very responsive leading up to the day and was right on time,” and his hospitality made the experience even more enjoyable.
The opportunity to drive a vintage car adds a touch of glamour and fun. Whether you choose to take the wheel or sit back and enjoy the scenery, the experience is personalized and memorable. The latest technology—photos and videos shot with an iPhone—ensures you leave with high-quality keepsakes of your trip.
The timing is well thought out—two hours is enough to visit three distinct spots without feeling rushed. Plus, the pickup service makes things easy, especially if you’re staying in or near Positano.
Practical Considerations
While the tour offers incredible value, it’s important to note the duration—about two hours—which is perfect for a quick, impactful experience but not for a deep-dive into the entire Amalfi Coast. Also, the cost of $442 per group might seem high for some, but considering the private nature, personalized service, and photo package, it’s worth it for a special occasion or a memorable day.
Weather can influence the experience—since it’s outdoor-focused, poor weather might cause cancellations or rescheduling, but the provider’s flexible policy offers full refunds if the weather doesn’t cooperate.
