For those visiting the Amalfi coast for the first time, you may be a little overwhelmed with the choices. This tour allows you to pick and choose what you want, accompanied the whole drive by an English-speaking driver. Whether your goal is to relax and take in the view or walk through the charming coastal towns, he will make it happen.

Descend the winding one-way road that leads to the heart of Positano, a pretty village of seaside villas covered in orange blossom and roses. Explore the busy central Piazza dei Mulini, connected to a narrow downhill path and some occasional flights of steps that lead to the seafront. Follow the streets to the shops selling ceramics, lemons, shoes, and "Positano fashion" clothing, and don't miss the lovely Church of Sant Maria of the Assumption, with its characteristic majolica tiled dome and bell tower.

Return to the car, this time ascending the mountain and returning to the main coastal road beginning after Sorrento and running through the fishing villages of Praiano, Furore, and Conca dei Marini until it reaches a busy square of Amalfi, one of the most popular seaside resorts in Italy. Take some time to wander along the narrow streets of the town, to the Piazza del Duomo and the Cathedral of St. Andrew with its many styles of decoration. You can also wander along the charming little streets to find various bars and cafés, as well as many shops selling limoncello, clothing, swimwear, and, of course, ceramics.

A slow uphill drive along a narrow road, passing several vineries and olive factories on the way, leads to Ravello, a rural village unspoilt by tourism, perched on top of the mountain cliff above Amalfi and Minori. Famous for its breathtaking views, the natural beauty and ancient monuments of Ravello are presented at their best in the gardens of Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo.
