Traveling along Italy’s famed Amalfi Coast is a dream for many, but navigating it independently can be a challenge. This Prestige Tour from Naples offers a hassle-free way to see Sorrento, Positano, and Amalfi with a small group, expert guidance, and plenty of freedom to explore. At just over $90 per person, it’s a solid value for a full-day experience that balances sightseeing with relaxing pauses.
What we particularly appreciate about this tour is the exclusive minibus that keeps groups intimate—limiting it to 12 travelers—and the multilingual assistant who makes the journey informative and friendly. The inclusion of free time at each stop means you won’t feel rushed and can truly soak up what makes each town special.
A potential consideration? The tour doesn’t include lunch, entrance fees, or guided site visits, so you’ll want to plan for meals and additional expenses on your own. Still, this flexible approach suits travelers who prefer to explore at their own pace rather than follow a tightly scheduled guide. This tour is ideal for those who love scenic drives, stunning vistas, and authentic Italian towns without the hassle of logistics.
