About this activity
This tour will take you to a 30 miles scenic road along the Costiera Sorrentina and Amalfitana, also known as the ”light blue ribbon” (Nastro Azzurro) or simply Amalfi drive. Built in 1832 by the bourbons, this road hasn’t changed much ever since. It runs along the Lattari Mountains coastline, passing by a number of small villages nestled in the rocks and considered amongst the prettiest in the Mediterranean, such as Positano, Praiano, Conca dei Marini and Furore. Inhabited since the VI century BC by the Greeks and previously by local indigenous people, this area reached its golden age with the rise of the Maritime Republic of Amalfi in early Middle Age, a major independent city-state. Today, tourism, fishing and farming are the main source of income for locals. The most popular products are: the Limoncello liqueur; the colorful ceramic art-crafts from the traditional school of Vietri; the inlaid wood art in Sorrento and the famous Carta d’Amalfi, an exclusive type of paper made out of cloths (linen, cotton and hemp). All these items are sold by the many shops available in Sorrento and Amalfi.
During the road trip, the driver will stop one or two times to the nicest spots to let you enjoy the view and take pictures. Both in Sorrento and Amalfi you will have some time on your own to stroll around and do your favorite activities, such as shopping, or simply relax to your favorite place. Lunch break to a local restaurant along the way. Positano will be seen from the top, for it would take a few hours just to visit this village, located at the bottom of the hill and only accessible on foot.
The return drive will follow a different route, giving you the chance of seeing the lavish green of those mountains before reaching the highway to Napoli. In some occasions, to avoid getting stuck in traffic jam, the tour can be carried out the other way round, starting from Amalfi and back to Sorrento.

The tour and tour guide were amazing from beginning to end.My only negative is that I would have liked a little bigger tour bus as it was very tight and not very comfortable. But everything else was excellent! Definitely recommend.
Gorgeous country side! Loved this tour, driving scary but thrilling!
It was FABULOUS!!! We had a great time, a wonderful lunch and saw the most fantastic views I have ever seen. The guide and driver were delightful.
exceional views but driver I got sick going up
This tour was everything it said it would be. We were picked up by the ship promptly and more important we were brought back to the ship on time. The driver was careful which is most important because of all the hair raising turns on the Amalfi coast. A suggestion, don't sit near the front of the bus if you don't like roller coasters.Plenty of time for photo ops. People on the van, strangers at first, became a group. There was time to walk around Sorrento and Amalfi. All were breathtaking places to visit. Lunch was delicious in a picturesque setting. The best part of this tour was our guide, Marchella. She was friendly, professional and spoke excellent English. Hope anyone gets Marcella to experience the best this tour has to offer. This tour was well worth the price.
Our guides were great! They always made sure not to leave anyone behind. I believe that we got a little extra. And I loved the small group. We were able to see quite a lot on our tour and got us back to our ship with plenty of time to spare.
Amazing mountain ride and view
