The perfect Amalfi coast excursion! - What better way could there be to take in the amazing coastal views of Sorrento, Positano, and Amalfi then a nearly private boat ride down the coast? The scenic landscapes were breathtaking. This tour also allowed us to experience the best of Amalfi and Positano. We shopped, drank espresso, and ate local in some of the most sought after locations along the Amalfi coast. Elena was an incredible guide. Friendly and knowledgeable. She enhanced this experience in every way.

best experience ever - me and my boyfriend honestly had the most amazing experience and was definitely all worth the money!! everyone was so friendly and welcoming. they took us round the coast to the blue grotto which was beautiful & then round to some other sites!! we then went to the island of capri which we had about 3 hours free time to go off and do what we wanted. the food was tremendous & the island was just beautiful all round. we had a meeting point and a selected time we needed to be back by.. when we got back onto the boat and a bit further away from the island, they stopped and gave us a pot of fruit and a bit later on we got to jump off the boat and swim! after that they offered a bottle of Prosecco which the captain opened in a cool way. afterwards we made our way back to sorrento looking at some other things on the way back and sitting at the front of the boat. overall the boat tour was about 7/8 hours and it was genuinely the best experience ever.

We had a great trip - We had a great trip on the boat to see the Amalfi coast and with the two stops in Amalfi and Positano. If the Fjord is an important stop, be sure to request that at the start of the trip. In one part of the description, when I booked, it said there would be a stop there, another part said you would just see it. We didn't go close...we just drove by it from a distance, when I asked, it was too late. The captain and first mate were delightful, the day was the perfect way to see a lot in a short period of time. There were about 12 of us and it was great to hang out with and meet other travelers in this beautiful environment! I would recommend and do it again!

What better way to see the Amalfi coast. - I could not imagine not been able to see the amazing coastline small beaches and entering Amalfi and Positano from the dock. To me it is the best way to see the area, the small caves and unique areas to swim in. It was also great to have an excellent operator guide like Flavio who knows all the good spots.

Made our Vacation a lifetime memory - We had the best time with Flavio the tour guide and boat driver. He is amazing and by the end of the tour we were all friends. He is so passionate about his country and the gorgeous Amalfi coast. If you are lucky enough to have him for your tour you are in for a special day. Positano and Amalfi are storybook towns. I wish we could have stayed longer in each town. Flavio took time for all of us to be able to swim in unique areas and enjoy the waters off the coast. He even supplied us with snorkel gear and swim noodles. He told us history, local gossip, and restaurant reviews with our refreshments he offered. If you have an opportunity to go the the Amalfi coast do see it by boat. You will not be disappointed with this company or the best employee Flavio.

Beautiful Day Adventure - It’s hard to beat the views and they were made even better by our captain, Alphonso, and 1st mate, Renato. Despite high winds that made some sites inaccessible, they showed us other sites and gave advice about things to do while on Capri.

A beautiful day! - Great tour with Francesco. 1.5 hours in each Amalfi and Positano. Fruit and drinks served on board. I’m glad I got to see the coast by sea. Don’t expect a ton of narration. It was mostly quiet on the boat, but if we had questions, we’d ask and Francesco happily provided more info. And there was some easygoing music with the option to make requests. For me, swimming was to be a highlight. But only a fraction of my tour mates were into it, which made me feel a little rushed or silly for asking if we would check out a second swimming spot. Not the fault of the tour but awkward to be the only one in the water. To give you an idea what you can accomplish at each stop, here’s what I did. Almalfi: grab a pastry and cappuccino at Pansa, enjoy on the steps of the cathedral, take a spin around the cathedral, pop into the shops and get back on the boat. Positano: start climbing that hill to get some views. I stopped at a cafe, I think it was called Dolce & Salato, for a sandwich, spritz and views before heading down into the shops and back onto the boat. Enjoy!
