Positano, Amalfi and Ravello small-group tour from Sorrento
The shimmering beauty of the Amalfi Coast is in the spotlight on our exclusive small group tour. Your adventure begins with a scenic drive to the colourful village of Positano. Discover the secrets of this hilly village where the spectacular views are enhanced by the scent of the bougainvillea and the many chic boutiques.

It typically blooms the brightest in late spring and early summer, so visit during those times to see them at their best."In Positano, you'll take a guided walking tour, introducing you to narrow, cobblestone streets and local treasures. Next, you'll board a local ferry to the historic town of Amalfi.
