WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
An Experienced English speaking driver will drive you along one of the most scenic coast of the world, Unesco world Eritage site. Photo, stops, commentary and free time to see the villages are part of this memorable experience.
2.
Positano was a relatively poor fishing village during the first half of the twentieth century. It began to attract large numbers of tourists in the 1950s, especially after John Steinbeck published his essay about Positano in Harper's Bazaar in May, 1953: "Positano bites deep", Steinbeck wrote. "It is a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone." Positano rapid growth from a small fishing village to an international destination is credited to the rise of the tourism industry. In addition to the beaches, cliffs, and historic sites, clothing stores and restaurants are scattered throughout Positano, attracting tourists from around the world.
3.
The city starts at the water's edge with a pretty promenade along the Mediterranean and a marina full of colorful boats and their international flags. The focal point of the historic center is the Piazza del Duomo, in front of the striking cathedral. The piazza is clustered with sidewalk cafes and elegant shops, but the sixty steps leading to the church beckon to be scaled to visit the Byzantine style structure that bears Moorish-influenced arches and decoration. Dedicated to St. Andrew, the Duomo di Sant'Andrea is a truly beautiful structure. Inside is the hidden Cloister of Paradise, dating to 1266, with a forest of columns, Arabesque arches and an amazing fresco. The crypt is highly decorated and worth a visit, too. Italian mariner Flavio Gioia was an Amalfitan who is credited with inventing the modern-style magnetic compass and packaging into a portable container. There is a monument and piazza in his honor here in his hometown. The "tavole amalfitane" are ancient drafts of Amalfi's intricate maritime codes, preserved in the Civic Museum. The town has a long history as a center of paper mills, so be sure to stop into the Museo della Carta (Paper Museum) to see how the pretty products were (and still are!) made by hand. There are still some family-owned paper mills that carry on the tradition.
4.
The town has served historically as a destination for artists, musicians, and writers, including Giovanni Boccaccio, Richard Wagner, Edvard Grieg, M. C. Escher, Virginia Woolf, Greta Garbo, Gore Vidal, André Gide, Joan Mirò, Truman Capote, Tennessee Williams, Graham Greene, Jacqueline Kennedy, Leonard Bernstein and Sara Teasdale. Every year in the summer months, the "Ravello Festival" takes place. It began in 1953 in honour of Richard Wagner. The 1953 film Beat the Devil, directed by John Huston and starring Humphrey Bogart, Jennifer Jones, and Gina Lollobrigida in her English language debut, was shot in Ravello. To see the incredible Villa Rufolo surrounded by the gardens theater of the open-air stage of the concerts and the duomo dedicated to the patron San Pantaleon.

We were a party of 6 friends who booked a route from Sorrento to the Amalfi coast and then to Naples airport before flying back home. Miky was our driver--an extraordinary character, very professional and attentive. During the whole day we felt like 'family' around him, as he said. He would speak really slowly in Italian so that we could understand, although he offered English as well. He would tell us about the tourist attractions along the way, with great tips, and was really flexible with our requests. Hands down the best driver we could have had. If we ever go back to the Naples area, we will definitely ask for Miky again.

We used this company 3 times, from Rome to Sorrento, an Amalfi Coast tour, and Sorrento back to Rome.
We would highly recommend this company as they were great. What I really liked is that they showed up a half hour early each time, so you weren’t left waiting to see if your transfer was going to be late…Like some other transfer company we used in Italy. The drivers were extremely safe drivers (which was a notable difference from other companies), professional and friendly.
We had initially booked just the return Rome/Sorrento transfers, but while we were on our way to Sorrento we found out there was a problem with the tour of the Amalfi coast that we had booked with another company…our driver said that they do the tours as well and arranged everything in a few minutes for us.

My fiance and I had an incredible tour of the Amalfi coast with Daniel, our driver. The car was gorgeous and very comfortable. Air con was a god send! Daniel's driving was perfect too. Nice smooth drive even round all the twists and turns in the road and with the craziness of other drivers to contend with. We felt completely at ease with Daniel. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. First up was Ravello then a stop in Amalfi and finally a beautiful seafood lunch in a restaurant full of lemon trees with phenomenal views over the bay before our last bit of free time in Positano. Loved every minute of it and would highly recommend as a must do tour when in the area. Daniel also got lots of photos of us with incredible backgrounds. Upon looking at my phone I couldn't believe such amazing photos were taken off my old poor quality camera! He certainly has talents! Thanks again Daniel! Memories to last a lifetime

We did a fantastic Path of the Gods hike from Sorrento. The driver was amazing and the tour guide (on the hike) was fantastic! Sorrento Limo was AMAZING, would definitely recommend it especially for this hike. Having a tour guide on it was great and he showed us all of the highlights and taught us about a variety of plant species. Highlight of our trip!

Marcello was an excellent driver! He was so warm and personable. It made it a pleasure to ride and see the sites. If you have ever driven in that traffic, you should know it's best to leave the driving to the professionals and he is the best! Five thumbs up!

This was such a great way to experience the Amalfi Coast in one day. Our guide/driver was extremely nice and knowledgeable, and he had the driving skills necessary to make the narrow, winding mountain roads comfortable for all of us. He was personable and great to chat with, but also knew when to let us enjoy ourselves on our own. There is a lot of flexibility and free time to explore on this itinerary, which I appreciated a lot.

You definitely want a driver if you want to try to tackle Amalfi in a day. This is the way to go for sure.
