7-Day Grand Tour Amalfi Coast Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Welcome to Naples

    Upon arriving in Naples, make your way to the hotel and check in. Spend the rest of the day exploring the charming streets of the city at your leisure.

  2. Day 2

    Positano, Amalfi & Ravello

    Experience the Amalfi Coast and discover the cliffside gems of Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello. Meet your guide in Naples and board a bus to Positano. After arrival in Amerigo Vespucci Square, enjoy an hour of free time to wander the beaches, cafés, and boutiques before continuing to Amalfi by panoramic boat (or by bus in winter).

    Spend two hours exploring Amalfi at your own pace — visit the impressive Sant'Andrea Cathedral or opt for a scenic boat ride (extra fee). Finish in charming Ravello, where you'll have an hour to stroll its lanes, taste local gelato, or visit Villa Rufolo's sea-view gardens before returning to Naples.

  3. Day 3

    Naples Walking Tour & Street Food Experience

    Your day tour begins at the Duomo di Napoli — officially the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta but known as the Duomo di San Gennaro. From here, walk along Via dei Tribunali, one of the city's liveliest streets filled with shops, cafés, and local charm. Taste the traditional Tarallo Napoletano, a spicy almond cookie, at the oldest bakery of the city. Continue to San Gregorio Armeno, the famous "street of nativity scenes," where artisans handcraft detailed cribs and figurines. Visit a historic workshop and receive a lucky Neapolitan Corno.

    Next, step into the peaceful Chiesa di Santa Chiara, a Gothic church and monastery with a small museum and library. Nearby, in Piazza del Gesù Nuovo, admire one of Naples' most beautiful squares, framed by the Gesù Nuovo Church and the ornate Guglia dell'Immacolata. Walk along Spaccanapoli and stop in Piazza San Domenico Maggiore to try a cuoppo napoletano. Then visit the elegant Galleria Umberto I, a 19th-century glass-domed arcade, and the historic Teatro San Carlo, the world's oldest working opera house. Finally, stroll down Via Toledo toward Piazza del Plebiscito, explore the colourful Spanish Quarters, and end your day with a folded pizza portafoglio, followed by a baba or sfogliatella with Neapolitan espresso.

  4. Day 4

    Pompeii and Sorrento

    Your day starts with a scenic drive from Naples to Pompeii for a 2.5-hour guided tour. Enter through Porta Marina and explore the Forum — Pompeii's political and commercial center. Walk along Via dell'Abbondanza with its shops and chariot tracks, visit the Theater District, the bath complex, the colourful Lupanare, and a Thermopolium — an ancient street food stop. See the grand House of the Faun with its famous Alexander Mosaic, the bustling Macellum market, and the haunting plaster casts of Pompeii's final moments.

    Continue to Sorrento for a relaxed afternoon on the coast. Begin with a guided walk from lively Piazza Tasso through the historic center. Admire the green gorge of Vallone dei Mulini, the ornate Cathedral of Sorrento, and the romantic Cloister of San Francesco. At Villa Comunale, take in stunning Bay of Naples views. Discover the local art of wood inlay, then enjoy free time for lunch, shopping, or soaking up Sorrento's coastal beauty before returning to Naples.

  5. Day 5

    Day at Leisure or Optional Herculaneum Guided Walking Tour

    Today you have a free day to explore Naples on your own, or you may join the optional Herculaneum Guided Walking Tour (not included – can be added at the time of booking).

    Today's walking tour of Herculaneum offers an authentic and deeply immersive encounter with the ancient world. Smaller than Pompeii yet astonishingly well-preserved, Herculaneum provides an intimate window into daily Roman life. Buried beneath the volcanic debris of Vesuvius's eruption in AD 79, the town's villas, workshops, wooden structures, and brilliantly coloured frescoes remain in remarkable condition. You meet your expert guide on site, and as you stroll through the ancient streets — past elegant homes, public baths, and bustling commercial spaces — your guide brings each step of the city to life with vivid storytelling and insightful historical context. This experience is perfect for lovers of history and culture, and for anyone seeking a moving journey through time, beauty, and memory.

  6. Day 6

    Capri, Anacapri & Blue Grotto

    Explore the enchanting Blue Grotto on this unforgettable experience. Cruise along the stunning coastline by speedboat, admiring the azure waters and rugged cliffs. From Marina Grande, continue to the island's upper part where the Blue Grotto awaits. Board a paddle boat and be mesmerised by the ethereal blue light illuminating the cave's shimmering waters. Inside, marvel at the rock formations and sunlight dancing across the waves, creating a truly magical scene.

    Savour the tranquility of this natural wonder, capturing lasting memories before exploring more island treasures — from the charming streets of Anacapri to the iconic sights of Capri. The glow of the Blue Grotto will linger long after your visit. Please note: during peak season, visiting the Blue Grotto may involve long lines and limited capacity. If access is not possible due to conditions or weather, guides will suggest alternative attractions to ensure a satisfying and memorable tour. The tour may be led by a multilingual guide.
