ITINERARY

On this tour you’ll explore the best of Amalfi, including Positano, Ravello, Amalfi, and Capri with a local drivers and guides, who have a first hand knowledge of the area. You’ll experience Amalfi as a guest rather than just a tourist. You’ll be immersed in the culture of the region: A trip to a mozzarella farm., a visit to a family-owned winery, Visit and cooking in a lemon farm.

Go beyond the typical tour and enjoy an adventure that’s one-of-a-kind-quaint and your own personal experience.

Day 1: Welcome to the Amalfi Coast: Your Journey Begins

Our adventure begins at Naples Central Train Station, where we’ll meet at 10:00 AM. (For those coming from Rome, a direct train makes for an easy connection.) From here, we set off on a breathtaking journey along the Bay of Naples, taking in stunning coastal views. Across the bay, you’ll spot the island of Capri, while the legendary Mount Vesuvius stands tall on the opposite shore, a silent reminder of its storied past.

As we continue down the Sorrentine Peninsula, the winding coastal roads reveal the region’s signature landscape—dramatic cliffs, terraced lemon groves, and shimmering blue waters. Along the way, we’ll make a scenic stop to capture the stunning views of Positano, one of the most iconic and picturesque towns on the Amalfi Coast. You’ll instantly recognize the view—this cliffside village has been the muse of artists, filmmakers, and dreamers for generations.

Upon arrival in Positano, you’ll have free time to explore at your own pace. Stroll through the charming streets, browse artisan boutiques, or treat yourself to a refreshing gelato while soaking in the coastal charm.

From here, we continue our journey to Amalfi, a historic maritime republic that once served as a vital trade bridge between the Byzantine and Western worlds. Today, it enchants visitors with its maze of narrow alleys, unique shops, and lively piazzas, all centered around the stunning Cathedral of Saint Andrew, a masterpiece of medieval architecture.

After checking into your hotel, take some time to unwind and settle in before we gather for a welcome dinner at a local restaurant, where you’ll enjoy your first taste of Amalfi’s renowned cuisine.

Let the magic of the Amalfi Coast begin!

Day 2: A Day in Ravello & A Taste of Amalfi’s Lemons

This morning, we’ll journey to the enchanting town of Ravello, a hidden gem of the Amalfi Coast perched high above the sea. Known for its breathtaking views, serene ambiance, and rich cultural heritage, Ravello has long been a retreat for artists, writers, and musicians. Its elegant villas, historic churches, and lush gardens reflect a wealthy past that still lingers in its charming streets.

Our guided walking tour will take us through the town’s highlights, including a visit to the spectacular Villa Cimbrone. This 11th-century villa, renowned for its Terrazza dell'Infinito (Terrace of Infinity), offers one of the most iconic panoramas of the Amalfi Coast. As we wander through its beautifully landscaped gardens, adorned with classical sculptures and vibrant flowers, you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped into a dreamlike world suspended between sky and sea.

After the tour, enjoy some free time to savor lunch at a local café or explore the charming artisan shops that line the cobbled streets.

In the afternoon, we’ll return to Amalfi for some well-deserved downtime before meeting at 4:00 PM for a unique experience—a visit to a traditional lemon farm high in the hills. Lemons are one of the most iconic symbols of the Amalfi Coast, but as you’ll soon discover, they look and taste quite different from the ones we’re used to at home.

At the farm, you’ll learn firsthand what it takes to cultivate these prized citrus fruits and the intricate process of making limoncello, the region’s beloved lemon liqueur. Get ready to roll up your sleeves—you’ll taste, cook, and taste again, indulging in the bright, zesty flavors of the Amalfi Coast.

After this unforgettable experience, we’ll return to the hotel for a relaxing evening, resting up for another day of adventure tomorrow.

Day 3: Excursion to the Isle of Capri
Today you will travel to the epic Isle of Capri. The rugged landscape stands in contrast to the luxurious lifestyle of Capri. The isle seems awash in azure, much like the blue grotto, a dark cavern where the sea glows electric blue as the sunlight spills though, caressing the water in this underground cave.

You will be given ferry tickets before heading to the port of Amalfi to board the Hydrofoil (High speed boat) that will transport you to the Isle of Capri. On your journey you’ll be treated to awe-inspiring views of the coastline, seen only from the water. Upon your arrival, a local guide will accompany you to the towns of Capri and Anacapri. You’ll explore the towns, enjoy people-watching from one of the many lovely cafes.
After a day of la Vita a Capri, you’ll take the hydrofoil back to Amalfi and enjoy your evening in this priceless, timeless setting.

Day 4: A Day in the Tramonti Mountains: Cheese, Wine & Traditions

Today, we venture into the Tramonti mountains, a lush and fertile inland region of the Amalfi Coast known for its ancient vineyards, rich agricultural heritage, and time-honored culinary traditions. Often overlooked by tourists, Tramonti is a hidden gem where life moves at a slower pace, and every bite and sip tells a story of the land.

Our first stop is a small, family-run dairy, where we’ll meet skilled artisans crafting handmade mozzarella, or as the locals call it, fior di latte. You’ll learn firsthand about the cheese-making process from the experts before indulging in the freshest mozzarella, perfectly paired with a glass of local wine.

Next, we’ll continue our journey to a family-owned winery, where we’ll walk through the vineyards nestled on the mountainside and discover how the region’s unique terrain and climate shape its exceptional wines. After learning about the cultivation process, we’ll sit down for a delicious homemade lunch, complemented by a guided wine tasting, allowing you to savor the authentic flavors of Tramonti.

With hearts full and appetites satisfied, we’ll return to Amalfi for a relaxing evening at leisure, reflecting on a day filled with gastronomy, tradition, and the warm hospitality of Tramonti.

Day 5: Minori: A Taste of Local Life on the Amalfi Coast

Today, we’ll step off the beaten path and into the heart of local life in Minori, a charming seaside town rich in history, tradition, and authentic flavors. A short and scenic boat ride will take us along the stunning coastline, where your guide will point out some fascinating landmarks along the way.

Upon arrival, we’ll take a leisurely stroll through the town’s quiet streets before stopping at a ceramic workshop—once a historic pasta factory—where artisans keep the age-old traditions of pottery alive. If you’re feeling creative, you’ll have the chance to get your hands dirty and try your own hand at this centuries-old craft, just as locals have done for generations.

Next, we’ll visit a family-owned liquor workshop, where you’ll discover that limoncello isn’t the only liqueur produced on the Amalfi Coast. Learn about the different herbal and fruit-based liqueurs crafted here and, of course, enjoy a tasting of these flavorful spirits.

After these immersive experiences, the rest of the afternoon is yours to explore at your own pace. Enjoy a leisurely seafood lunch at a seaside trattoria, wander through the town’s quaint alleys, or simply relax by the water and soak in the laid-back charm of Minori.

You’ll have a boat ticket and schedule, allowing you to return to Amalfi at your own convenience. The evening is yours to enjoy at leisure—whether you prefer a sunset aperitivo, a seaside stroll, or simply unwinding after a day of authentic discoveries.

Day 6: Farewell to the Amalfi Coast & A Journey Through Ancient Pompeii
This morning, we bid farewell to the breathtaking Amalfi Coast and make our way to one of the most fascinating archaeological sites in the world—Pompeii. Once a thriving Roman city, Pompeii was frozen in time when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, covering it in volcanic ash and preserving its streets, villas, and daily life as they were nearly 2,000 years ago. Walking through its remarkably intact ruins is like stepping back in time, offering a rare glimpse into the ancient world.

After an insightful guided tour, where we’ll explore the city’s temples, theaters, baths, and even preserved frescoes, we’ll indulge in a pizza lunch at a local pizzeria—after all, southern Italy is the birthplace of pizza!

With full hearts and satisfied appetites, it’s time to say arrivederci. We’ll drop you off at Naples Central Train Station. You can book a train to Rome around 3:30 PM, where you can continue your journey, carrying unforgettable memories of the Amalfi Coast and beyond.

MORE INFO

What should I wear?

Stay casual and comfortable. Mornings and evening are chilly but during the day it’s warm. Even in full summer, hot days can quickly turn into cool evenings. Be prepared with a light sweater during the summer months, and something a little heavier in spring and fall.

Unless you plan on visiting the Opera in Italy, you won’t need to dress up anywhere you go. If you would like to try to blend in with the locals as much as possible, think “smart casual” or “preppy” for men, and “light and stylish” for women. Italians are very fashion conscious, but not formal.

In the summer months, you will most likely want to wear shorts. Make sure they have good pockets. However, always make sure you also have some long pants

Bring flat shoes, as you will be walking in medieval towns with cobblestone streets or farms with unpaved roads.

If you want to dress up for dinner, dress as if you are having dinner with friends.

How many bags can I bring?

We recommend bringing one medium suitcase and another small bag or trolley.

Please check our packing advice.

Packing

We advise you to pack light. We also recommend planning what you need based on each day of your travels.

You will need the extra space for souvenirs. You may not think about it now, but believe us; you’d want to take home that tasty olive oil, a bottle of wine that you can’t find at home, local specialties, or ceramics.

On that note, the best advice we can give you is “bubble wrap”. Bring bubble wrap with you. It’s cheaper and more convenient to bring it from the U.S and you will probably never leave home without it.

We highly recommend you use packing cubes for efficient packing and to keep things organized. You can search for videos on YouTube to learn more about it.

Do I need a passport?

Yes!

Copy of passport

We strongly suggest that you to make a copy of your passport.

Should I bring my cell phone?

It is a good idea to bring a cell phone. See our tips for communications while on a tour down below.

Do I need converters or transformers?

European power outlets run at 220 volts. You must buy a transformer to avoid shorting out and/or causing permanent damage to your devices. You will need it for cell phones, cameras, tablets, and other US-made electronics.

Tip: If your electronics can be powered by either 120 volt or 220-volt outlets (the device will usually have this listed in the technical specifications in a format like 120/240 volts, meaning the device can be powered from any power outlet around the globe), you will only need a plug adapter. Please note that a plug adapter is not a transformer, and using one with a device not capable of handling 240 volts will cause permanent damage and may even render the device unusable.

Money

We find that a debit/credit card of a credit union bank has low rates for an ATM withdrawal or credit card charges. In addition to credit union banks, here is a list of cards that offer a low or no foreign transaction fee: Capital one no fee hassle card, Chase Sapphire preferred, Chase ink business card, United mileage plus, Barclays arrivals world, Amex platinum card, Capital one venture reward, bank Americard travel reward, Marriott, Southwest, Barclaycard arrival plus, United mileage plus, Citi Hilton honors.

It is also important to let the credit card company or your bank know what country you are traveling to and the exact date

Communications

It is recommended to have a cell phone with you, however, if you plan to bring your smart phone, make sure to turn off mobile data right before you board the plane. If the data is not turned off, your mobile provider may charge you hundreds of dollars for using their services outside the U.S. On certain phones, you may be able to disable data roaming (phones that support this feature will most likely have it turned off by default). This will automatically turn off data outside the U.S.

You may want to check with your cell phone provider what data/voice/ text they offer when you travel to Europe. Things are changing for the better. For example, if you have an unlimited plus plan with AT&T you can pay $10 a day and continue using your phone in Europe as if you were at home.

WhatsApp is a free service that lets users message one another seamlessly between mobile and desktop devices.

WhatsApp is known for its enhanced privacy features, like end-to-end encryption, and its free, web-based international calling. Read on to find out how you can leverage the Facebook-owned messaging giant to make free international calls.
