Our local drivers will be able to have great attitude (especially empathic and great listeners), knowledge of local culture, energy and dedication to travelers during this private tour. They will be honored to share with you some special anecdotes about the places to visit and the ancient traditions of this land. They will be thrilled to make your wishes come true. Some clients still remember this tour provided by us after many years as we always try to share the love we have for our land with our visitors.
The famous Amalfi coast is an unsurpassed cocktail of natural beauties, original architecture, the result of the grafting of Arab taste into Christian devotion, a centuries-old history of navigators, artists, saints. Thirty-six kilometers of coastline where every corner is unrepeatable, all in a unique context in the world. The intertwining of sea and mountains is truly unique!

Our group of three did a private tour with Pierluigi (Gigi), along the Amalfi coast from Naples to Positano, stopping briefly for a photo op in the hills above Sorrento, visiting Positano, and then returning to a great lunch at a private lemon farm in Sorrento, and then concluding with an excellent visit to Pompeii, guided there by one of the best tour guides we've ever experienced (Vincenzo, or Enzo for short). From start to finish, it was an excellent tour.
Gigi was waiting for us as expected on our arrival from Rome by train, provided great overviews of the region and places we'd visit as we drove from place to place, and returned us on time, without incident, and in good form back to the train station for our return to Rome. It can be a very long day trip considering the train departure from Rome at 7AM and the return into Rome around 9PM (our return train was about 45 minutes delayed), but it was well worth it. You do the train tickets yourself, easy enough on the web.
A few things to note.
Gigi drives you everywhere but in all the stops you are on your own or with a different guide that Gigi can help arrange for you. Positano doesn't need one, as it's small and you can walk up and down the town without concern. Pompeii you most definitively need one as the excavations have led to a very large portion of the city being available to visit and it would be easy to miss a key place or not get the life-in-a-day perspective that Enzo so easily provided for us. Do get the advance tickets for entry and secure a guide for Pompeii via Gigi.
Do visit the recommended lunch location in the lemon farm. It's not only a unique place to have lunch at, but the food is very good, pricing is adequate, service is excellent, and the hour or so that you have for lunch will be quite a good relaxation period between Positano and Pompeii.
Everything in Positano is about lemons. From candies, to perfumes, to decorations, to ice cream. If you are not into lemons, you may find the town a bit strange. As you may expect, it's also a bit of a tourist trap. So here's a rub. If you visited or plan to visit Cinque Terre, totally independent of the value of this tour, which is excellent across the board, do not visit Positano. Go instead to Riomaggiore, Manarola, Vernazza - they will be prettier and give you the same feel as Positano in terms of being on a coastal, hill-based town with lots of history.
Highly recommended tour operator.

Diego was our guide for the day and he was awesome! He was early to the meeting point and immediately got us on our way! He knew all the places to see along the Amalfi Coast and made us a reservation at a fantastic, local restaurant overlooking the sea for lunch. We had just been to Amalfi Town which was insanely crowded, so the lunch spot was perfect, quiet, beautiful views and no crowds. I highly recommend this tour. Also the road from the cruise port to Positano was closed the day we were there so Diego knew the roads to get around and we swapped Amalfi Town for Positano at his recommendation. Ravello was the highlight of the Amalfi Coast for us! Fantastic little town and not overly crowded. You will find great ceramics here!

We had a perfect day touring Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast with Enrico! He was entertaining and professional and very knowledgeable. Lunch in Positano was delicious with an amazing view! Ended with a private tour of Pompeii which was also great. We highly recommend using them if you are visiting the area!

My family and I booked a Mediterranean cruise and for one of the port days, I decided (fairly) last minute that I wanted to try and do a private excursion since there was so much to see in Naples and wanted to make sure it was as fun and comfortable as possible. I found Lovely Amalfi tours through my cruise Facebook group as a recommendation from a member, and contacted them to see if by some miracle, they would have availability. I was so lucky that they did, in fact, have availability! We were greeted at the port and led to our beautiful van, and Gio was so immediately welcoming and brought such a ray of sunshine to our Italian adventure! We were driven through the Amalfi Coast, brought to scenic photo stops, which Gio graciously became the photographer for us, and he recommended a superb farm to table restaurant in Sorento. He even sang to us while driving making it feel like we were in a gondola along the canals in Venice! The day went by so fast, and wish we could’ve had more time to see more of this city that Gio was so clearly proud of and had so much knowledge about. If you are thinking about booking, do not give it another thought and reserve immediately! You will not regret it! This truly was our favorite day out of our entire trip and have Gio and company to thank for it :)

An excellent and very enjoyable tour. Gio was an exceptional driver and guide. He made us feel taken care of every step of the way, is very attentive to your needs and makes sure you really enjoy your time at the Amalfi Coast. He had a great recommendation for a lunch spot and it was a very thorough day trip. Great value for money, very professional, and enjoyable. Highly recommend.

We spent a wonderful day touring the Amalfi coast with Gio. We first went to Ravello with its charming gardens. Then we stopped at Amalfi which was an enjoyable place to stroll and shop. It gets very crowded by noon. We stopped at Le Bonta Del Capo for lunch with delicious food and incredible views. Gio made the lunch arrangements for our group of 10. We finished up in Herculaneum which was just soso. Gio was an entertaining tour guide and lovely Amalfi tours did a great job. Probably our favorite day in Italy.

Loved this tour! Attilio was very kind and informative of the region. With his help it made our day so smooth and took off the stress of getting around. Have another tour tomorrow. Worth every penny!

This was one of best tours I’ve had in my travels; and I’ve had quite a few. A family run business, Pigi treated us like cousins and was warm and friendly and engaging. His sister Melania was very accommodating and easy to communicate with while making and securing the arrangements. Pigi felt like our family. He altered to the tour to fit our needs and was patient and even tempered. He was extremely knowelefable about the coast and taught us everything about the campagna area. He was extremely kind and funny and the vehicle was 5 star. A Mercedes sedan which was very clean and comfortable. I will definitely use them again when I return to the coast. Thank you Pigi and Lovely Amalfi Tours🇮🇹! Grazie Miele🫶🏽!
