Great
This trip was ok but know that your time in Sorrento and Positano depends on how much traffic there is on the way to each cities. You will only spend 1.5 hours in each town. It was nice to be there but definitely will need more time. I would recommend to stay in amalfi coast instead of just doing a day trip. With the say trip, you will have time to grab a quick bite and look for a souvenir and that’s about it. The best part of this trip was the boat ride though.

Cosimo provided an enjoyable, informative tour. He had great management of our time and of our group. The icy lemon treat with a beautiful view of the coast was perfect . He gave great suggestions and clear schedules as well. Our driver was spot on, felt very secure on some crazy winding roads. Overall a wonderful day with friendly, intelligent leadership.

Our tour guide was Cosimo. He was very patient and a wonderful tour guide. There were only 12 people on the tour and we were in a luxury bus that held twenty people. Plenty of breaks and free time. Boat from Sorrento to Positano was a great addition. Wonderful pizza at one of the recommended restaurants right on the beach.
Tripadvisor customer · Steve · Oct 13, 2025 Excellent
Wonderful tour and Cosimo was a great guide! It’s worth the price to have such a comfortable travel experience, plus the added bonus of someone knowledgeable leading you and sharing information. The private bus was far better than booking a seat on a public bus or train would have been, and the company has scheduled bathroom breaks into the trip to avoid any stress surrounding that. The views from the boat were breathtaking and we were able to enjoy a delicious lunch plus some shopping during our time in Positano. Make no mistake, it will be a long day, but this cannot be helped, as the distance is what it is. It was totally worth it to enjoy such a lovely day trip from Rome!

Loved it a lot. I understand there are time constraints that can't be controlled but it still felt a bit rushed, with the clock ticking all the time on us wherever we visited.
Tripadvisor customer · Swadhin · Oct 13, 2025 Excellent
This was a great tour! Our guide, Cosimo, was very knowledgeable & kind. He always made sure that we were comfortable & that nobody got left behind. Poistano was far but beautiful and worth the trip. Definitely recommend!
Tripadvisor customer · Alyssa · Oct 13, 2025 Great
The tour was well planned. Boat ride was the best part. The coasts of Amalfi are beautiful. Cossimk gave nice insights into history of the region.
A dip in the sea can be added to the programme.
Tripadvisor customer · NorthStar64819161934 · Oct 13, 2025FAQs
If I bring a swimming suit can I go for a dip in the sea?
Yes! Although be aware that there is not always a lifeguard on duty in the areas you might want to swim so you will be getting in the water at your own risk.
Is this tour wheelchair accessible?
No. Unfortunately, due to site restrictions we cannot accommodate wheelchairs on this tour. Guests should be prepared for a moderate level of physical activity, including standing for extended periods and climbing stairs, which may not be suitable for travelers with certain health conditions or mobility limitations.
What if the weather is bad (rain, snow, hail, etc.) on the day of my tour?
Our tours run rain or shine so please dress for the elements. We also ask you to please remember hats and sunscreen if you are taking this tour in the summer as it might be very hot.
What if the sea is very rough on the day of the tour?
If sea conditions don't permit comfortable boating, you will move between towns in a private, air-conditioned transport car/van.
Is lunch included?
No. Your guide will give you a few great recommendations for lunch spots and give you plenty of time, but where and what you eat is up to you.
Is it free to swim on this trip?
Yes! The beach is public but the changing facilities cost 50 cents to use.
