Amalfi Coast private tour from Sorrento and nearby
Best for: Travelers who want a private Amalfi Coast day with a local English-speaking driver and time in three well-known towns.
This private tour is the strongest match if you want a full-day coastal experience led by a local English-speaking driver. The route focuses on Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello, with about one hour of free time in each place, so you can decide how to use the stops rather than follow a tightly structured group program. The vehicle is a luxury Mercedes, and the inclusions are clearly stated: air-conditioned transport, bottled water, tolls, parking fees, and taxes. Lunch, gratuities, and entrance fees are not included. The itinerary is flexible, which makes this a good fit for travelers who value comfort and a customizable pace.
