Highlights
  • Sorrento - When your cruise ship docks at Naples, meet your driver at the port and hop into your air-conditioned minivan with the rest of your small group.

Then, travel south to Sorrento, the cliff-top resort that’s a gateway to the UNESCO-listed Amalfi Coast, a 40-mile (64-km) stretch shore typified by steep cliffs and confetti-colored villages.

On arrival, enjoy an hour of free time to explore picturesque Sorrento as you wish. Perhaps stroll the tangled lanes, enjoy the bars and shops in the central square, Piazza Tasso, or admire the 15th-century cathedral

  • Positano - Rejoin your minibus and have your camera ready as you drive along the Amalfi Coast, following the cliff roads between lemon groves and the shimmering Mediterranean below. Arrive in the gorgeous cliffside town of Positano, whose houses cascade down cliffs to a pebbly beach, and enjoy an hour of free time to shop at the chic stores, unwind over coffee or perhaps visit the Church of St Maria Assunta, famous for its tiled dome.

  • Amalfi - Continue to the town of Amalfi and enjoy an hour to explore its sights at leisure. Perhaps peep inside its marble, 9th-century cathedral, browse the many shops hidden in the lanes or enjoy lunch (own expense) at one of the tempting restaurants.

  • Ravello - Your last stop is Ravello, higher up the cliffs. With an hour of free time here, maybe look around the impressive cathedral or visit the 13th-century Villa Rufolo (own expense), whose cliff-hugging gardens serve up jaw-dropping coastal views.
    Afterward, drive back to Naples where your shore excursion ends back at the cruise port.

Great tour with great guide! - What a great experience! Our driver Ricardo was awesome. He can drive in very small places while still ensuring we are informed about what we are seeing. Though we only got a glimpse of each place, it was enough to ensure we know where we want to spend more time the next time we go. Along with the scheduled stops, we stopped at a Lemoncillo factory and had lunch in Praiano under the lemon trees. This is a must do tour if you only have a day to explore these places. Ask for Ricardo to be your driver :)

Great Tour of Amalfi Coast - Giovanni was outstanding. He had a great sense of humor and told us all about the wonderful spots along the Amalfi Coast. I highly recommend the tour, especially with Giovanni as your driver.

A great Amalfi coast trip - our driver was very considerate of each of our group, gave information about trip and sights we were passing. He was very polite. Stopped for pictures. It was a great excursion. He was very conscientious about getting us back to our ship on time. I would highly reccomend this excursion.

Cherry On Top! - We were on a 13 day cruise in the Adriatic sea with many excursions in 8 ports and this was definitely the highlight of our trip. Mauro was our driver. The vehicle was very clean and Mauro was on time every time he had to pick us up somewhere and shared a lot of interesting information as we travelled up the coast. We had lunch at a quaint restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean which was awesome. It is such a breathtakingly beautiful area of Italy that it's hard to mention something specifically. It was a long tour and the traffic was congested at times but not overly so. Overall we had a great time and Mauro was an excellent host/driver. Highly recommended!

Beautiful Scenery but Long Arduous Trip - The scenery was amazing but the traffic was horrendous. The driver spoke very little English and we had a hard time communicating with him. Because of the amount of time in traffic, this was a very trying trip.

Punctual pick up and... - Punctual pick up and return. Driver safely brought us to all locations. We would have wished the driver would give some explanations during the trip but it was just the transport

An excellent experience off the cruise ship - If you only have a short time to explore this area, this excursion is a great option. Our driver/guide was very knowledgeable, pointing out highlights, stopping for photo opportunities, and taking us into the town centres of these great cities. Our small group of 8 had time to explore on our own, so everyone got to spend time doing things that interested them. A good choice for visitors that are able to walk distances without assistance.

Highly anticipated, highly disappointed! - We too the Amalfi Coast tour and where so excited as it was the most anticipated excursion of the entire 14 day cruise! We felt we where in a race the entire time! The driver seemed so rushed with us. I'd read and therefore expected the drive to be a bit rushed, but this driver was ridiculous. I don't scare easily, but I held on for dear life the entire last part of the trip. This trip should be definitely broken down into only two towns allowing for more time to explore. The driver was that and only that, my information, my conversation, nothing!! Just rush, rush, rush, hurry, hurry, hurry. It all went by in a blur, so sadly a very bad impression of my first tour with this company.

Horrible-STAY AWAY - Horrible experience. Our driver barely spoke English and rushed us to 4 stops. We did not have any time to eat, let alone go to the bathroom. I want my money back. This was an awful excursion and will recommend to anyone I know to stay away from this terrible company.

Disappointing cancel by tour operators - We did not get to take this tour as the tour operator cancelled it saying we did not have enough time to complete it. We definitely had enough time as our ship didn’t leave port till after 6:30pm that night, but they wound not reinstate the tour. It was very disappointing because this was one of the most important tours that I booked on this cruise. It was much too late to try to find another tour since they didn’t inform us until the night before. Very disappointing
