Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 - Depart Florence

Travel to the Amalfi Coast is by private coach. We make one rest stop before arriving in Sorrento and checking into our accommodation.

Day 2 - Capri Day Trip

Friday morning we hit the sea, traveling to the Island of Capri by ferry. Our day includes a boat tour around the island, where we will see hidden coves and the majestic cliff-side of the island. Marvel at the iconic Faraglioni rock formations, glide through crystal-clear waters, and capture breathtaking views that will stay with you forever. The Capri Island Tour operates either upon arrival in Capri or in the afternoon, depending on the sea conditions that day. This flexible itinerary allows us to create the best possible experience in Capri.

While exploring Capri, we recommend visiting the town of Anacapri, the highest part of the island, and sampling some free chocolate and limoncello at our local partner's sandal shop. These artisans have been crafting hand-made sandals for over 50 years. Next maybe take a ride up the chairlift to the top of Mount Solaro to get a breathtaking 360-degree view of the island, before grabbing a unique pair of custom-made sandals, and having a delicious lunch at one of the great local restaurants. You also have the option of checking out the rest of the island or hanging out on the beach down by Marina Grande. We will depart from Marina Grande in the afternoon to head back to our accommodation.

Friday night is yours; either kick back at your accommodation or head into Sorrento for a night exploring the town and grabbing a bite to eat. Guides will be in the lobby to give out recommendations.

Day 3 - Positano Day Trip

Saturday morning we depart by ferry to Positano. Positano is world-famous for the colorful stacked buildings built into the cliff-side. Once in Positano, your trip leader will point out our favorite local spot for sandwiches, snacks, and drinks. We can also recommend other local restaurants if you prefer a sit-down Italian-style lunch. You will then spend the afternoon relaxing on the black stone beach, swimming in the sparkling blue waters, and browsing the many shops of Positano, a town known for its ceramics and lace! It is also possible to rent a boat, kayaks, or stand-up paddleboards while there (availability based on the season & weather). We return to Sorrento late afternoon.

Saturday night you have the option to explore downtown Sorrento. The town is full of restaurants and boutiques and along the cliffside, you'll have sweeping views of the entire peninsula.

Day 4 - Visit Pompeii

Sunday morning after breakfast and checking out of our accommodation we depart for the Pompeii Unesco World Heritage site via private coach. Should you be interested in visiting with a licensed guide you can join the optional 1.5 hour guided tour (additional cost). We recommend joining the tour as the guides paint a picture of life in Pompeii during the Roman era and bring life to the ruins. After, we suggest eating at our favorite spot for a delicious Neopolitan-style pizza before we head back to Florence in the early afternoon
