Planning

Historical Context

Originally a series of isolated fishing villages, the Amalfi Coast gained immense power in the Middle Ages. In the 19th and 20th centuries, it transformed into a sanctuary for artists, writers, and celebrities, cementing its status as an iconic luxury destination.

Photography Tips

  • Bring a wide-angle lens to capture the towering vertical towns
  • Use a polarizing filter to make the Mediterranean blues pop and cut through water glare
  • Morning light in Positano is best, while Ravello shines in the late afternoon

Insider Tips

  • Sit on the right side of the vehicle when driving from Sorrento to Amalfi for the best unobstructed sea views
  • Bring small Euro coins for public restrooms in the villages
  • Buy your ceramics directly in Ravello or Amalfi to avoid carrying them all day

Our Partners

  • We proudly partner with global leaders in travel experiences like Viator to bring you the safest, most reliable, and highest-rated excursions on the Amalfi Coast.

Fun Facts

  • Positano was a relatively poor fishing village until it was popularized by John Steinbeck in a 1953 essay
  • The town of Amalfi was once a powerful maritime republic that rivaled Venice and Genoa
  • Limoncello is traditionally made from the giant Sfusato Amalfitano lemons grown on the coastal terraces.

Worth Every Penny

We took the small group van tour. The views were unbelievable, and not having to drive the crazy coastal roads ourselves made the trip completely stress-free. Highly recommend checking options here.

Great day out

Very well organized. The booking process was simple and our guide was wonderful. Only 4 stars because traffic in Amalfi was a bit heavy, but the operator handled it perfectly.

Best part of our Italy trip!

We booked a shared boat tour from Sorrento. Snorkeling near the cliffs and seeing Positano from the water was magical. The operator provided drinks and everything went smoothly.

The tour itself was magnificent, capturing the essence of the Amalfi Coast. Positano is stunning. Wear very comfortable shoes as there are hundreds of stairs! Booking was very secure.

Seamless experience

I appreciated being able to compare the different group sizes. We went with a max 8-person tour. It felt very intimate, and we had plenty of free time in each town.
