10 Literary, Art & Music Tours in Amalfi Coast That You Shouldn't Miss

July 21, 2021 Christa Meece

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.

Enjoy breathtaking views with this panoramic 1-day group tour on the Amalfi Coast, along the famous SS163 Amalfi road that winds along the Tyrrhenian coast. Admire spectacular views at every turn and be enchanted by the picturesque and renowned town of Positano, where the typical colored houses seem to fall from the hills. 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.

Had a private excursion last year with Danilo and this agency for my family and me, and we had the most amazing time! They were very communicative, extremely punctual (a rarity in Italy!), very friendly and knowledgeable. In one day we were able to see Positano, Amalfi, Ravello, Minori, Maiori, Vietri with sufficient time to explore each place. Prices were super reasonable as well. Highly recommend !

I can say the claim was fully accomplished: the views Fedronia made on the scene on Pompei (before and after -for instances - the earthquakes and eruptions over the centuries pompei suffered). She really does the job of making alive the way they eat, pissed (ask Febronia about the way around of pecunia non olet..), had occasional sex for sales and she is ready to do all the 3 hours we/you had together . A tour very istructive, amazing with a cool woman and skilled professional. You can reach me for further questions. DP

We took a Capri all day tour from Nerano bay. We had Maria as our tour guide. She was brilliant and very helpful. She customised the tour based on our needs & requirements. We were travelling with our 8 years old daughter & we were never rushed. She also helped us to cover most of Capri & Anacapri including a trip to Blue Grotto, the Chairlift to the mountain top & most of the other attentions. We would highly recommend her to have as a Tour guide.
