Really enjoyed our trip. Pick up was perfect and on time, the guide we had was really friendly and everything was very well organised. The only one thing I would say is that this trip is called 'From Sorrento' so we expected to get the boat from Sorrento, in fact you get the boat from Vico Equense.

Simple, fun visit to Amalfi and Positano. Bus ride through the mountains is harrowing but fun (like all driving there). The boat crew was excellent and showed us islands and coastal feature. Comfortable and easy ride, everything on time.

One of the most unforgettable amazing day trip from which I made a lot of new friends! Friendly crews and well planed schedule. Highly recommend!

a must do trip if visiting amalfi - also recommended adding the swimming stop

Excellent day trip, good value for money and beautiful sights!
