TOUR DESCRIPTION
 

Amalfi Coast & Positano Shore Excursion from Naples

The focus of this popular Naples shore trip is the amazing beauty of the Amalfi Coast. You travel leisurely along the famous Amalfi Coast including stops in Positano and Amalfi. Your driver-guide will also recommend a stop for you to enjoy lunch.

After meeting your driver guide you depart for the charming seaside town of Positano. From there you'll begin your drive along the Amalfi Coast which stretches about 50 miles from the tip of the Sorrento Peninsula to the city of Salerno. The coast line is famous for its amazing views of quaint fishing villages and luxury hotels that cling to the cliffs above the sparkling blue sea. With each hairpin turn of the road you'll be astonished by another vista. You'll drive the most popular and dramatic portion of the coastline from Positano to Amalfi.

Your first stop is the town of Positano which is one of the most popular resort towns in the world. Narrow streets which are sometimes no more than staircases are lined with shops and cafes leading from the main road to the beautiful beaches below. In the distance are views of the Galli islands. There are several hiking trails that afford dramatic views, including the "pathway of the gods." The main sight in town is the 13th century Byzantine painting, "The Black Virgin" which can be seen in the Church of Santa Maria Assunta.

Later you stop in the town of Amalfi, which legend says, was created by Hercules to be the most beautiful setting possible for the final resting place of a beautiful nymph he loved. History tells us that the Romans built the town in the 5th century AD. Enjoy the many cafes and shops that are near the town square and take a peak in the 11th century cathedral which houses the crypt of Saint Andrea, the town's patron saint. Notice the Oriental touches in the architecture that are common here including the often photographed bell tower and stone arches that look as if they were made of lace.

Depending on the traffic conditions on the day of your excursion, the driver-guide may also recommend a stop in the hilltop town of Ravello. After a delightful day exploring these world class resort cities you return to your ship in Naples.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far is Naples from the Amalfi Coast?
The Amalfi Coast begins approximately 50 kilometers south of Naples. The drive to Positano takes roughly 1.5 hours due to the winding coastal road. The scenery along the way is spectacular.
Is the Amalfi Coast road suitable for large groups?
The Amalfi Coast road is narrow and winding. For larger groups we use appropriately sized vehicles that can safely navigate the road. Please ensure your group size is accurate at booking so we can arrange the right vehicle.
Can we stop for lunch on the Amalfi Coast?
Yes - your driver-guide will recommend a stop for lunch at a local restaurant with views of the coast. Lunch is not included in the tour price but your guide can suggest the best options for your group.
What happens if we're running late getting back to the ship in Naples?
Yes, and it's built into every Naples tour we run -- the Back-to-Ship Guarantee. If a delay caused by our tour operator keeps you from returning to the ship on time, we'll arrange and cover your transportation to catch up with the ship at its next port of call. To qualify, your tour needs to be scheduled to return at least 1.5 hours before the ship's departure, and you'll need to be back at the vehicle for every agreed meeting time during the day.
What's the deposit for a Naples shore excursion?
Booking a Naples tour requires a $50 deposit up front. The remaining balance is due 30 days before your tour date. If your plans change, that deposit isn't refundable, but it stays on your account as credit toward any tour for up to 3 years. Larger groups, custom itineraries, or tours involving flights or overnight stays may carry a bigger deposit and their own terms, which we'll spell out at booking.
Can I get a refund if I cancel my Naples tour?
As long as you cancel your Naples tour 15 days or more in advance, you get a refund minus $50. Inside 14 days of the tour date, cancellations become non-refundable. One exception: if your ship simply doesn't call at Naples because of weather, mechanical issues, or political unrest, you'll get a full refund less the $50 fee. All cancellation requests need to be submitted in writing by email.
How do I find my driver when I arrive in Naples?
Cruise Ship: When you get off the ship in Naples, look for the terminal's main public exit. If a terminal building is present, go through arrivals to the outdoor pickup area -- cruise staff will help direct you. If not, your driver will be waiting right on the dock. Can't find your contact? Stay near where you exited and call the local dispatch number on your confirmation. Hotel: Look for your driver or guide right outside the main entrance or in the lobby -- they'll be holding a sign with your group name. Airport: Once you've collected your luggage and cleared customs, head into the arrivals hall -- your driver or guide will be there holding a sign with your group name.
Do I need to pay separately for admission tickets on my Naples tour?
You'll find entrance fees bundled in for Naples tours where the tour page states it. Keep in mind some venues require timed, skip-the-line tickets that become non-refundable the moment they're purchased. We'll flag any non-refundable entrance fees for you at booking.
Can we add a stop to our Naples tour that isn't on the standard itinerary?
That's the advantage of going private in Naples -- the day can adjust to you. Mention any must-see sight to your driver or guide at pickup, and they'll do their best to work it in. Traffic and time constraints can occasionally limit how much we can change, but your guide will always try to keep things personal.

5 of 5 Review Location- Naples Saturday, August 8, 2026
Reviewer: Walter H from Union Hall VA  
We had a wonderful vacation. Every one of the tour guides were great. My family was really impressed with their knowledge, service, and friendliness. I was pleasantly surprised with how much better an experience we had compared to the Princess Cruise Ship Tours. For example, our tour guide for the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii knew that Pompeii was closed until 1130 AM and changed our itinerary to travel along the coast in the morning and go to Pompeii at the end of the day. The other tours just took people to the gate and waited for two hours. Thanks again. My wife and kids felt that each guide was a   friend   by the end of the tour. The guides in Florence and Ephesus were probably the highlight for us. The Mercedes vans that were used in most cities were always nice and all of our drivers were really great. Ive already recommended you to a friend.

5 of 5 Review Location- Naples Monday, August 3, 2026
Reviewer: Travel Agent Pam S from Liberty Travel, Englewood, NJ  
I cant thank you enough for the excellent service. The private tours you arranged far exceeded any expectations. When we walked off the ship and saw our drivers waiting we all felt like Royalty. They made wonderful recommendations regarding our itineraries. The vans were absolutely immaculate. They always opened our doors and assisted us in and out of the vehicle. They were so knowledgeable about their destinations.  I cant wait to contact some of my clients who are planning European cruises for next season and together with you planning their private tours

Reviewer: Carolyn M from Lake Mary FL  
Thank you so much. We enjoyed the guides you provided for us. We have ALREADY mentioned your company to others. I hope we were gracious enough for your people. We were a bit unsure what to tip and hope the guides were satisfied with what we did give. I really appreciate your attention to detail with our tours and we were extremely happy. Thank you.
