Published:  May 12, 2025

Italy’s Amalfi Coast is one of the most breathtaking places to visit.  But it’s also one of the most popular, which means it can get really crowded (and the traffic can be no joke). One of the best ways to truly enjoy the Amalfi Coast without the stress is by booking a tour.  Whether you want to explore the charming cliffside villages, sail along the stunning coastline, or dive into the local food scene, there’s a perfect tour for you.  Here are the absolute best Amalfi Coast tours to make your trip unforgettable.

Boat Tour of the Amalfi Coast

 There’s no better way to see the Amalfi Coast than from the water! A boat tour gives you the best views of all of the cliffside villages.  Most boat tours stop in Positano and Amalfi with time to explore each town on your own, and some even include snorkeling or swimming stops.  Many of the boat tours make stops at the various sea caves along the way, too.

Amalfi Coast Driving Tour

 

Driving along the Amalfi Coast is also a must-see experience, but I would not recommend trying to drive it yourself.  The roads are narrow and hard to navigate without traffic.  When you add in the chaos of bumper to bumper traffic and non-existent parking, a scenic car ride can turn into a stressful and non-enjoyable  experience.  A private driver or small group tour is the way to go. You can explore each town at your own pace, and you won’t have to worry about parking or navigating the busy, narrow streets.

Capri

A trip to the Amalfi Coast would be incomplete without visiting the island of Capri.  Located 8 miles off the coast, Capri is just a 25 minute boat ride from Sorrento.  Highlights of the island include the famous Blue Grotto, the scenic chairlift to Monte Solaro, the Faraglioni rocks and the Garden of Augustus.

Food & Wine Tours

When in Italy, you have to eat (and drink) like a local.  Food and wine tours are an amazing way to dive into Amalfi’s culinary scene.  Think lemon groves, farm-fresh mozzarella, homemade pasta and limoncello tastings!

Pompeii & Vesuvius

While not technically on the Amalfi Coast, a tour of Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius is an absolute must if you’re in the area.  Walking through the ancient ruins with a guide brings the history to life in a way you can’t imagine.  Many tours also include a “Skip The Line” ticket and wine tasting in Vesuvius.

Path of The Gods Hike 

For nature lovers and adventure seekers, hiking the Path of the Gods (Santiago degli Dei) is an unforgettable experience.  The trail runs high above the coastline, offering jaw-dropping views of the sea and surrounding mountains.  Some tours even include transfers so you can hike one way not worry about getting back.

Kayaking & Cycling Tours

If you’re looking to explore the Amalfi Coast in a more active and adventurous way, kayaking and cycling tours are a great option.  Paddle along the coastline and through hidden sea caves on a kayak.  Or hop on a bike and ride through the scenic coastal roads with incredible views at each turn.

@postcardsfromcarrie The best boat tour of the Amalfi Coast! Boat left from Sorrento, first stop Amalfi, second stop Positano, then swimming and snorkeling stops. Explored sea caves by boat on our way back to Sorrento. It was the best way to see the Amalfi Coast if you only have a few days. Being on the water on incredibly hot summer days was perfect and we didn’t have to sit in the traffic by car! ✨Link in bio for boat tour, HIGHLY RECOMMEND ✨ ⬇️Follow me for more #amalficoast #amalfi #positano #positanoitaly #sorrento #boattour #italy🇮🇹 #italy #bucketlist #explore #makingmemories #anniversarytrip #postcardsfromcarrie ♬ TOO SWEET X RIVERS BY ALTÉGO - ALTÉGO
