5.00This was our favorite thing in our whole Italy trip! Our guide was very knowledgeable and fun, and we got to get to know our group well. I’ve recommended to everyone that tells me they’re going to Italy!!

5.00I would highly recommend the Small-Group Amalfi Coast Day Cruise from Positano. It exceeded all of our expectations. Our driver, Carlo was exceptional and made the whole day fun and entertaining. We went swimming in a cave and relaxed on the sundeck. We ate lunch at a seaside restaurant you can only access by boat and did a little shopping in Amalfi. The views were stunning. It was a wonderful experience and we would definitely do it again!
Best day ever!

5.00Pinch me. This was literally the best day ever. My husband and I and our three children, ages 11, 9 and 3, enjoyed the most incredible views with the sweetest crew members (Anna is a love + both were so good with our kids). We stopped 3 times to swim in the open water with pool noodles and goggles provided, had snacks and drinks on board, had the option to stop at the grotto for 10 euros a person and then a stop in amalfi. Our entire group of 11 chose 1 hr in amalfi vs the 3 hr in amalfi option. This gave us the other option of going to a private restaurant after amalfi for lunch for boats only with private beach access. Food was delicious! Very rocky at this beach but wear your sandals down to the water to cool off after lunch before hopping back on the boat for dessert and heading back to Positano. This was by far worth every single penny and I would recommend this tour to every person who wants to feel like they are living a dream!! Thank you!!!!

5.00We were lucky enough to catch this on the very last day it was offered. Great trip, very flexible itinerary, good snacks and drinks, plenty of photo and swimming opportunities. All in all, a great day, lots of info, and as advertised.
An unforgettable day on the Amalfi Coast!

5.00We had the absolute best experience on our private boat tour with Carlo. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the Amalfi Coast, sharing interesting history and local stories along the way, while also being so kind and welcoming! The boat was stocked with refreshments and snacks, and Carlo made sure we were comfortable the entire day. He stopped at beautiful swimming spots three different times during the day. We also got to stop for a delicious lunch by boat and explore Amalfi town for a bit. It was such a perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and local culture. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Amalfi Coast - it was truly the highlight of our trip!
