About this tour
An 8-hour private drive along the Amalfi Coast from Sorrento visiting Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello. You'll spend roughly an hour in each town to wander, photograph, and shop at your own pace, with an English-speaking driver in a Mercedes handling the winding coastal roads and parking. The itinerary is built around self-directed exploration rather than guided walks or group activities — useful if you want flexibility and don't want to be shepherded through each stop.
Highlights
- Private Mercedes with English-speaking driver for the full 8 hours
- One hour free time in each of Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello
- Tolls, parking, and taxes all included in the price
- Driver suggests photo spots and local insights along the route
- Wheelchair-accessible vehicle; infant seats available
- Bottled water provided throughout the day
What to expect
Your driver will collect you from Sorrento and begin the scenic drive along the Amalfi Coast. You'll stop in Positano first for around an hour — time to walk through the pastel-coloured village, photograph the terraced cliffside, or grab a coffee. Then it's on to the town of Amalfi for another hour of unscheduled time, followed by a final stop in Ravello perched high above the coast. Throughout the drive, your driver provides commentary on the region's history and culture and points out viewpoints where you can pull over.
You're responsible for timing yourself at each stop — the driver will confirm a meeting time so the tour stays on schedule. Lunch is not included, so you'll need to eat independently if you want a meal (restaurants are available in all three towns, though standards and prices vary). The return to Sorrento completes the loop by late afternoon.

Good to know
This suits anyone who wants to see the three most recognisable Amalfi Coast towns without being tied to a fixed-pace walking tour. It's particularly good if you want flexibility to linger longer in one place or move quickly through another. The Amalfi Coast roads are narrow, winding, and steep — the tour requires at least moderate fitness for getting in and out of the vehicle and walking on uneven cobbled streets in the towns themselves. It's not wheelchair-accessible once you're in the villages, though the vehicle itself is accessible. The drive itself takes significant time (allow roughly 3 hours driving total for the three stops and returns), so you won't feel like you've spent much time in depth anywhere. Peak season (June–September) means crowded villages and slow coastal traffic. No entrance fees are covered, and lunch is excluded — budget for both separately.
