Naples Official Tour: Amalfi Positano Sorrento & boat ride

About This Experience

This is a 9-hour minivan day trip from Naples to Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi, run by Naples bay tour with a tour leader who stays with the group. You pick between two versions. The Smart Option has no boat ride, and the Classic Experience adds a shared boat ride of about 30 minutes at Amalfi. Pickup is from 12 listed hotels and meeting points in Naples. Sorrento lies on the Sorrentine Peninsula, so Positano is the first Amalfi Coast town.

The order is Sorrento for 1.5 hours with a guided walk through the historic center and a limoncello tasting, then Positano’s Marina Grande for 1 hour, then Amalfi for about 110 minutes, and about 1 hour on the road back. The listing says the minivan drives into the center of Positano and that Positano access and parking fees are covered. On the way back there is a lottery with a bottle of PGI limoncello as the prize.

The Smart Option is from $79 per person and the Classic Experience with the boat is $93 (checked October 2026). If the boat is cancelled for weather, €15 per person is refunded. Lunch is not listed among the inclusions, so plan to buy it in Amalfi, which has the longest free time. Guiding is in English, Spanish, Italian and French, and the tour may run in two languages.

It suits people who want a guided start in Sorrento and a small vehicle for the coast road. It is rated 4.8 from 2,216 GetYourGuide reviews. Lower-rated reviews report short stops with little time to eat, air-conditioning problems on a hot day and, on one departure, a road closure by a landslide that cancelled the Positano stop. Wheelchair users are not catered for.
