We also stopped at a Lemoncello tasting, so it broke up the drive to Sorrento! I would highly recommend this tour to see these two towns!”

Rome to Positano by private bus and ferries, with guided Sorrento and sea-time. Two coast viewpoints, one full-day escape.

“It was a fantastic day with the high speed train that got us to Salerno in 1.5 hrs from Rome, the ferry ride to Amalfi, the lemon orchard and limoncello tasting, and shopping, followed by another ferry to Positano, for shopping, pizza, and gelato. And I can't say enough about our Walks tour guide, Roberta. She was fantastic, knowledgable, and genuinely fun to be around. She even went out of her way to help me figure out how to buy a train ticket back to my hotel after we returned to Rome. She really made the day enjoyable! I recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate attire, with back up.…”
