What to do and see in Amalfi Coast, Campania: The Best Historical & Heritage Tours

December 4, 2021 Almeta Stockton

Stretching along the southern side of Italy's Sorrentine Peninsula, the Amalfi coast dazzles with its mysterious grottos, craggy cliffs and shimmering bays. Grab a seat on the sea side of a regional bus to soak up views on the fabled route from artsy Positano to Amalfi. Ravello offers some respite from the crowds, plus the stunning Villa Cimbrone, which overlooks the Bay of Salerno. The historic section of Sorrento has winding streets filled with craftspeople. Capri is only a hydrofoil or ferry ride away.

Continue along the winding road through a magical landscape, where the cultivated cliffs stand out against the sea and the villas have gardens with cascades of flowers. Explore the charming streets of Amalfi, where the marvelous 9th century cathedral dominates the main square and the bustling harbor is full of life. Also visit the hill town of Ravello, where Wagner was inspired for the composition of one of his works and the picturesque 11th century cathedral oversees the pedestrian square, while alleys and streets lead in every direction.

Well, i dont think that words can describe this experience. We rented a private car with driver for driving us from sorrento to prositano and continue to Amalfi-coast and back to sorrento. We had Alfredo as a driver. He was dressed very formal and very friendly. He opened and closed the door and was always available for us. He also brought us to some very nice places on the way. I would HIGHLY recommend this affordable, very professional and reliable transport service.

A well deserved 5/5 on our lovely sunset boat tour! A big thanks to Elisabeth who coordinated it and Sandro who was our skipper. They showed up with a big and beautiful boat, and everything was taken care of - from the prosecco to the snacks. We came to Positano to celebrate a special occasion and they made it a special evening.

We had a private tour as a couple. Alessandro was our amazing guide! He picked us up at the port on time and we drove straight to Rome. He was an excellent driver, showed us all of the highlights, dropped us off at various areas and picked us up on time. We then went to the Vatican where we met our guide Paulo. We had a private tour by a highly educated guide. We were able to skip the line and avoid crowds. Private Tours May cost a bit more but they are worth every cent!! Our day was amazing!

Nico was out tour guide. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable. He was not like previous tour guides that I have had experience with in such that he did not push us towards any particular restaurant or stores. Rather, he gave us general advice and told us which places were not recommended and why. We felt that he had our best interests at heart and not looking for kickbacks like other tour guides.
