Exploring the Amalfi Coast with a Private Golf Cart Tour
Imagine zipping along narrow cliffside roads in a sleek, eco-friendly golf cart, with views so breathtaking they seem almost unreal. That’s what you get with the Amalfi Coast: Private Golf Cart Tour—a charming, sustainable way to see some of Italy’s most iconic towns. From the colorful streets of Positano to the tranquil gardens of Ravello, this tour offers a fresh perspective beyond the usual bus routes.
What we love about this experience are two things: first, how personal and flexible it feels, giving you the chance to stop wherever you want and soak in the scenery at your own pace; second, the knowledgeable guides who know the coast inside out and make sure you don’t just see the sights but understand their stories. A potential drawback is that the tour’s four-hour duration might require some pacing if you’re keen on deeper exploration at each stop. But overall, it’s perfect for travelers who want an efficient, intimate glimpse of the coast with plenty of photo opportunities and local insights.
If you’re someone who prefers a more relaxed, authentic experience — avoiding crowded tours or large buses — this golf cart adventure is an excellent fit. It’s ideal for couples, small groups, or families wanting a personalized journey through this stunning stretch of Italy.

A Deep Dive into the Experience
The Amalfi Coast: Private Golf Cart Tour offers a refreshingly different way to experience the rugged beauty of this legendary coast. Unlike larger tour buses that stick to the main routes, this tour gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace, stopping as often as you like to admire the scenery or snap photos.
Starting Point & Itinerary
Most tours begin with a meet-up in a central location—often a café or hotel—before your guide, Alfonso or another friendly guide, takes you on a four-hour adventure. You’ll zip along the coast, passing through towns like Amalfi, renowned for its striking cathedral and charming streets; Ravello, famous for its gardens and breathtaking vistas; and Positano, the picture-perfect cliffside village famous for its colorful houses and steep streets. Along the way, you’ll also explore Praiano, a quieter gem with stunning views, and stop in Conca dei Marini for photos and a refreshing drink.

What sets this tour apart are its stops. In Conca dei Marini, you’ll be encouraged to relax, take photos, and enjoy the landscape without feeling rushed. One reviewer, Deborah, praised the flexibility of the guide, mentioning how they were able to stop at “beautiful hot spots for us to take pictures and enjoy the views.” The guide also takes guests to the Emerald Grotto, a lesser-crowded spot with little waiting, perfect for a peaceful visit late in the day.
The Experience of Driving a Golf Cart
Driving a golf cart along the narrow, winding roads of the Amalfi Coast is both fun and practical. It’s easier to navigate than a traditional vehicle and allows for more spontaneous stops. The carts are described as easy to drive, which makes the experience accessible even for those without prior driving experience. Plus, the open design offers unobstructed views, making every moment a photo opportunity.
Guides & Personal Touch
The reviews highlight guides like Alfonso, whose friendly and knowledgeable approach elevates the tour. As Cheryl says, “Driver will take you anywhere! Very accommodating.” The guides’ local expertise means they can suggest the best spots for photos, recommend restaurants, or simply share interesting tidbits about each town’s history and character.
Cost & Value
While the exact price isn’t specified here, the focus on a private group—usually more expensive than group bus tours—delivers a more personalized experience. For travelers looking to avoid crowds and enjoy the coast’s beauty on their own terms, this is a worthwhile investment. The flexibility to stop wherever you want and the intimate setting often make this tour feel like a custom adventure rather than a cookie-cutter ride.
