Private Amalfi Coast Day Trip from Rome — Positano, Amalfi & Ravello in One Day
Drive the dramatic Amalfi Coast in a private, full-day tour from Rome—Positano’s cliffside houses, Amalfi’s cathedral and ceramics, and Ravello’s panoramic villas in one escorted itinerary. Expect steep streets, seaside views, and local lemon-flavored treats.
The Experience
Before You Go
Start Early
Departing Rome early reduces time in traffic and gives you cooler light for photos in Positano and Amalfi.
Comfortable Footwear
Wear grippy walking shoes—historic centers have cobbles and long stairways that can be slippery.
Stay Hydrated
Carry a refillable water bottle; drivers usually provide bottled water but tap water stops are limited.
Cash for Small Shops
Bring some euros for ceramics, small cafes, and markets that may not accept cards.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •The tiny neighboring village of Atrani for a quieter beach and authentic café culture
- •Small artisan workshops in Amalfi where you can watch ceramics being painted
Wildlife

Conservation Note
The coast faces overtourism and water shortages—stick to marked paths, support local artisans, and minimize single-use plastics.
Amalfi was a medieval maritime republic (9th–13th centuries) whose seafaring wealth shaped its cathedral and merchant architecture; Ravello served as a retreat for nobles and artists in later centuries.
