Forget crowded buses and rigid timetables. Experience the legendary Amalfi Coast on your own terms in a luxury private Mercedes van.
Your English-speaking local driver isn’t just a chauffeur; they are your host. They will navigate the famous winding roads safely, take you to the most photogenic viewpoints (that big buses can’t reach), and share stories you won’t find in guidebooks. Explore Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello at your own pace, with plenty of time for an authentic lunch away from the tourist traps. This is the Coast, local style.

Set out on a spectacular day along the world-famous Amalfi Drive. Your private driver will handle the winding roads while you relax and admire the cliffs diving into the turquoise sea. Unlike group tours, you decide how much time to spend in each village. We’ll stop at secret viewpoints for the perfect photos and suggest the best local spots for a real ‘Gnocchi alla Sorrentina’ or a fresh Limoncello.
Our journey begins with the most iconic view in the world. As we descend the winding road into Positano, you’ll see the colorful houses clinging to the cliffs. Your driver will drop you at the heart of the village, giving you free time to wander through the narrow alleys (the “scalinate”), discover local linen fashion boutiques, and reach the Spiaggia Grande for that perfect postcard photo.
Leaving Positano, we drive along the “Road of 1,000 Bends.” We’ll stop at secret, panoramic spots that large tour buses simply cannot reach. This is where your local host shines, showing you the Coast from perspectives only a local knows.
We arrive in the historic Maritime Republic of Amalfi. Here, you can admire the majestic Cathedral of St. Andrew with its famous golden mosaic. Don’t miss a visit to a traditional “Lemon Garden” or a taste of the original Amalfi lemon granita while exploring the ancient paper mills valley.
We believe food is part of the soul. We can suggest hidden family-run trattorias in the hills of Pontone or Scala, far from the tourist crowds, where you can enjoy handmade pasta and local wine with a view of the valley.
We conclude our day in the elegant and peaceful Ravello, 350 meters above sea level. Visit Villa Cimbrone or Villa Rufolo to walk through gardens that seem suspended between sky and sea. It’s the perfect, quiet finale to an unforgettable adventure before we drive you back to your accommodation.
