The Itinerary and Its Highlights

Pickup in Rome

The tour kicks off with a pickup from your chosen location within five kilometers of Rome’s city center. The flexibility of pickup points means you can coordinate easily whether you’re traveling from your hotel or a central spot.

Amalfi Coast Stop

The first major stop is the Amalfi Coast itself, where you’ll enjoy scenic views, photo opportunities, and free time to explore. Reviewers mention the “pass by” scenic viewpoints and “hidden gems” that most day-trippers miss. You’ll have the chance to take stunning photos, stroll through local shops, or just soak in the Mediterranean beauty from panoramic viewpoints. A break at a scenic café offers a chance to sip a coffee with views of the coast—an experience that travelers have described as “perfect for capturing the moment” and “a highlight of the trip.”

Ravello

Next, you’ll visit Ravello, known for its terraced gardens and panoramic vistas. With about two hours allocated, you’ll have ample time for a photo stop, a walk through charming streets, or some shopping for local ceramics—a recommended optional add-on. Reviewers often praise Ravello’s “elevated atmosphere” and “spectacular viewpoints,” making it a prime spot for both photos and peaceful wandering.

Amalfi Town

Back in Amalfi, you’ll enjoy a mix of sightseeing, free time, and more photo opportunities. The town’s colorful buildings and bustling waterfront are perfect for candid shots. Many travelers appreciate the chance to explore at their own pace, with some mentioning that the sunset here “paints the town in golden hues,” ideal for those classic travel shots.

Positano

The final main stop is Positano, often called the jewel of the coast, with its steep streets and pastel-colored houses cascading down to the sea. You’ll have three hours to explore, shop, or relax by the beach. Photographers rave about Positano’s “fairytale-like” charm, and the optional seaside aperitivo provides a taste of local life. Many reviews note that the views of Positano from different angles are worth multiple photos—each view offering a new perspective.

Transportation and Group Size

With private transportation included, the journey between spots feels seamless. The small group limit of four participants ensures personalized attention, a real advantage for those who want professional advice or a relaxed, conversational experience. Reviewers highlight that the vehicle is comfortable and well-suited for the winding roads, making the entire day pleasant.

The tour offers the choice of professional guidance or a personal photo shoot, catering to different needs.
