Itinerary
Day 1
Full-day private driving tour from Naples visiting Amalfi, Positano, Sorrento and Pompeii with relaxed paced sightseeing and a romantic moment in Positano.
Meet & Greet / Pickup in Naples
Your driver will meet you at the agreed meeting point in Naples for a brief welcome, run through the day's plan and board the private vehicle. Please have your booking confirmation and any hotel/port details ready.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm your exact pickup landmark (hotel entrance, Piazza Municipio, or Napoli Centrale) when you book — it speeds boarding.
- Ask your driver for a quick photo stop along the bay before leaving the city — it's a lovely opening shot for your day.
- If you have luggage or a day bag, place valuables in the vehicle's trunk; a small cooler bag is handy for sunscreen and a spare top.
Scenic drive: Naples → Amalfi (coastal route)
Comfortable private drive along the coastal road toward Amalfi. Enjoy panoramic views; occasional short photo stops can be added on request.
Tips from local experts:
- Sit on the sea‑facing side of the vehicle for the best coastal views; ask the driver in advance to stop at a safe viewpoint for photos.
- Bring sunglasses and a light layer — the sea breeze can be cool even on warm June mornings.
- If either of you gets travel‑sick, let the driver know and sit near the front; ginger candies can help with motion.
Amalfi — Cathedral of Saint Andrew & town stroll (1 hour)
One hour of free time in Amalfi to explore the 11th‑century Cattedrale di Sant'Andrea, wander the historic piazza and browse artisan shops.
Tips from local experts:
- The cathedral steps make a dramatic photo background — arrive early to avoid crowds and catch soft morning light.
- Try a local pastry (sfogliatella) at a nearby bar for a sweet shared treat — perfect for a romantic pause.
- Amalfi ramps and steps can be steep; opt for the main piazza route if you prefer fewer stairs when strolling together.
Drive Amalfi → Positano (scenic coastal stretch)
Short scenic transfer down the coastline into Positano. Enjoy cliffside views and colorful village panoramas.
Tips from local experts:
- Keep your camera ready — the coast between Amalfi and Positano has several iconic viewpoints; ask the driver for a quick stop.
- If you want a quieter experience in Positano, mention to your driver and we'll aim for less crowded pedestrian points.
- Wear comfortable shoes — Positano streets are steep and full of steps; hold hands for easy support on stair sections.
Positano — Seaside stroll & romantic prosecco toast (1 hour)
One hour to soak up Positano's pastel houses and pebble beach. Enjoy a special moment: a seaside prosecco toast (hotel/terrace or beachside depending on availability).
Tips from local experts:
- For your romantic toast, request the terrace at Le Sirenuse or a quieter spot on Spiaggia Grande — your driver can suggest availability.
- Positano's iconic stairways create gorgeous couple photos; the view from the beach looking up toward the village is especially cinematic.
- Keep an eye on ceramics shops for a small memento (a painted tile or cup) — many artisans will gift-wrap for safe transport home.
Drive Positano → Sorrento (coastal route)
Drive around the Sorrentine peninsula toward Sorrento. Relax, enjoy the views and prepare for a pleasant waterfront visit.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask your driver to time the drop‑off near Piazza Tasso for an easy central arrival and short walking distances.
- If you want to extend the day later, note this is a good stretch to discuss a sunset extension or private boat option.
- Use this transfer time to freshen up — a quick sunscreen touch‑up and a hat will keep you comfortable during the afternoon stroll.
Sorrento — Piazza Tasso & limoncello tasting (neighborhood stroll 20 min)
Short walking time in the lively heart of Sorrento — admire the marina views and historic center, then head to a local limoncello tasting or small shop.
Tips from local experts:
- Piazza Tasso is the beating heart — for a quieter vibe, stroll right down to the Marina Grande for a seaside moment.
- Try a small limoncello tasting at a traditional producer (ask for a chilled sample) — perfect to share and ideal as a keepsake.
- Cobblestones can be uneven; choose a cafe with outdoor seating in the square for people‑watching while you rest together.
Lunch in Sorrento — relaxed local cuisine (40 min)
Sit‑down lunch at a classic Sorrento trattoria featuring fresh seafood, pasta and a chance to taste local limoncello desserts.
Tips from local experts:
- Request a window or terrace table when you arrive — the views and ambience make lunch feel like a special moment.
- Order a shared starter and pasta to taste local flavors; ask for a small bottle of chilled prosecco if you want to keep the romance flowing.
- Mention any dietary preferences early — local trattorie are accommodating and can adjust plates for two.
Drive Sorrento → Parco Archeologico di Pompei
Short transfer inland to the archaeological park of Pompeii — a convenient base for a two‑hour guided or self‑led exploration.
Tips from local experts:
- Buy skip‑the‑line tickets in advance or ask us to arrange a private archaeologist guide — it transforms the visit into a memorable shared story.
- Bring hats and water — much of Pompeii is exposed in summer; pack sunscreen and comfortable walking shoes.
- Plan to focus on highlights (Forum, House of the Vettii, Villa of the Mysteries) together — two hours gives a great curated overview.
Pompeii Ruins — 2 hours exploring the ancient city
Two hours to walk through the remarkably preserved Roman streets and buildings. Tickets are not included; we recommend hiring a licensed guide for deeper context.
Tips from local experts:
- Focus on the Villa of the Mysteries for striking frescoes — it's especially atmospheric and makes for a reflective, romantic stroll.
- Carry a lightweight scarf or cover‑up for warmer months — it provides shade and doubles as a cozy photo prop for couple shots.
- Plan a slow, unhurried pace and pause on shaded benches — it keeps the visit intimate and avoids fatigue.
Return drive Pompei → Naples (drop-off)
Drive back to Naples. End of private service at your original meeting point or agreed drop‑off location in Naples.
Tips from local experts:
- If you enjoyed the day and want to continue the romance, ask your driver to recommend a Naples rooftop bar for later (we can book on request).
- Use return drive time to relax and review photos — the late afternoon light often makes your day’s images glow beautifully.
- Confirm your preferred drop‑off location in Naples with the driver early so the return is smooth and stress‑free.
Tour close & quick debrief
Brief wrap-up with your driver to ensure arrangements are complete and any post‑tour recommendations or bookings are confirmed.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask your driver for personalized dinner reservations — they often know calm, romantic restaurants in Naples that suit couples.
- If you’d like photos edited or shared, some drivers/companies can send a small selection; ask during the debrief.
- Confirm pickup times if you’ve arranged further transfers (airport/harbor) — it helps avoid last‑minute coordination.
