Amalfi Coast Day Trip from Rome

The Amalfi Coast is the loveliest stretch of coast in Italy, and a day trip from Rome is a lot to ask. If you are short on time, a guided day gets you there without the stress.
You travel by comfortable coach and arrive in Positano, where you have free time to explore the steep lanes and the beach. After that, you continue to Amalfi, famous for its cathedral and paper-making tradition. The guide gives you tips for lunch, shopping and swimming.
Expect a long day and a lot of time on the road. If you can, consider spending a night on the coast instead. Prices are from; check current details when you enquire.
