Ravello: Tours & Tickets

Loved all the views. Our tour guide Martina was very knowledgeable and I was amazed at how she could switch between 3 languages very easily. She kidded our driver, Arcangelo, who was great and they made a wonderful team. I would make two suggestions: I was supposed to get picked up at 7:20 and because I wasn’t 100% sure of where I was going I was early and they were early picking me up so I was on the bus at 7:10. By the time we picked everyone else up and left Garibaldi, the last pick up spot it was 8:59 so I had been on the bus for almost 2 hours. I would suggest a different method of picking people up when the distance requires that much time on a bus. An 8 hour tour had turned into a 10 hour tour and when we returned I was not going to sit on the bus again so I took the metro back which ended up being extremely fast compared to the bus ride. The only other thing I would suggest is that when we stop in cities like Ravello, a few suggestions of what to do would be good.

We were picked up from the Hotel Terminus at exactly 8:30am. Our guide was Guisy. We left immediately after (the hotel was the last pickup spot). We booked the small group and I believe the total was 14 people. First stop was in Sorrento. Good view. We stopped at what appeared to be a gift shop and to taste some lemon drink. Spent around 15-20 minutes there. Next stop was Positano, which was amazing! Another 15-20 minutes spent here enjoying the view. Afterwards, we went to Amalfi where we had a boat tour (not included unless you paid for it in the booking or on the spot), which was great! Spent around 25 minutes on the boat. Then ate at a nearby restaurant, which was decent. We were then given 45 minutes to spend in Amalfi. We then left to our final stop at Ravello, which again we were given 30-40 minutes to walk around. Only complaint i have is we did not stop on the east side of Positano (which is the view you normally see in photos).

Collected from our hotel at the time stated. There were 6 people on the minivan tour plus the driver. Air con was a godsend. We had an hour to visit each of Positano, Amalfi and Ravello, plus lunch was included at a hotel/villa in Ravello. The driver/guide was very knowledgeable and we felt safe when he was driving on the very narrow, winding, busy Amalfi coast road. It was long enough to have a snapshot visit of each place, as it was so hot and humid we were glad to get back on the van to the aircon. We had enough time to visit Amalfi cathedral at additional charge and Villa Ruffelo in Ravello. Each place was beautiful in its own right and the scenery en route is simply stunning. Well worth it.

Helpful guide, skilled at navigating the terrifying traffic along this coast and in the towns, lunch included. It was a great way to see Positano, Amalfi and Ravello to decide whether we would like to spend more time in one of these stunning locations on a future visit. You only get an hour in each place but the views in between are amazing and from the comfort of an air conditioned comfortable taxi.

Tony took great care of us with his driving on winding roads, narrative of history and legends, and sense of humor. Toured Positano, Amalfi and Ravello. Tasty lunch with wine and plenty of time for shopping! He was also flexible and allowed us to change dates.
