Positano Tour

Our tour guide, Flavio, was outstanding! The locations are beautiful. The amount of time spent in Positano (2 hrs) and Amalfi (45 mins) were too short in comparison to all the travel time there and back from Rome. The water taxi to the locations was lovely but overall, I would have enjoyed a day or two rather than a day trip.

Good Tour but Overcrowded Coast

Overall the tour was great - long day for sure! We got back to Rome at around 8:45PM. The logistics of the bus went great. The logistics of the boat/ferry in between the Amalfi islands was hectic due to how busy and crowded Positano and Amalfi were. It was a hot 90*F day which made for a long, hot, and exhausting day. Overall, I would recommend this tour but be mindful of the busy tourist season and heat!
