Craving a break from the urban bustle of Rome? Check out the Amalfi Coast, filled with colorful homes, mountain trails, hidden coves, and serene beaches. Easily travel down the west coast from Rome and enjoy the perfect day trip for those staying in the city!
A Rome to Amalfi Coast day tour typically lasts 12 to 15 hours, with early morning departures that let you make the most of your time along the coast. The duration varies depending on your chosen itinerary—whether you want to focus on the picturesque Amalfi Coast alone or explore additional sites such as the ancient ruins of Pompeii or the nearby Sorrento. Each option offers a unique lens on the region’s history and breathtaking scenery.
The journey from Rome to the Amalfi Coast takes approximately 3.5 hours one way, offering beautiful coastal views and glimpses of charming Italian villages along the route. However, the winding coastal roads and limited parking on the Amalfi Coast can be challenging, especially during peak season. By booking a tour with round-trip transfers, you can relax and enjoy the scenery without the hassle of navigation, traffic, or parking.
Choose a classic AC coach for a leisurely scenic drive or a high-speed train for a faster, more direct route to the coast. Both options allow you to enjoy sweeping Italian landscapes along the way.
All day trips include an experienced guide who will share local insights, historical context, and insider tips, making sure you don’t miss any of the region’s hidden gems and iconic landmarks.
If you’re looking for a more intimate experience, consider a semi-private tour with smaller groups and personalized attention from your guide. This setup allows for a more tailored experience, with extra time to ask questions and explore at a relaxed pace.
Elevate your Amalfi Coast experience with customizable options, such as a scenic cruise along the coast, which allows you to take in breathtaking views of the cliffs, coves, and colorful villages that line the shore. You could even get a chance to taste the famous limoncello!
Please note: Due to the region’s steep terrain and narrow pathways, these day trips are currently not accessible to wheelchairs or strollers
The main modes of transport within and along the Amalfi Coast are by boat, bus, or on foot.
Here is a compilation of the best spots in and near all your day trip stops!
There are several options to choose from, you can choose AC coach transfers all the way through or add a cruise along the Amalfi Coast from the port of Salerno. Other options include high speed train transfers or semi-private guided tours. You can even customize your trip to visit Sorrento, taste some limoncello at a local distillery, or explore Pompeii.
While specific towns are visited as per the itinerary, you have the freedom to explore the points that interest you the most at each stop. Whether swimming and hiking, or discovering museums and churches, the choice is all yours!
Cell coverage can be pretty patchy along the coast. There are no public hot spots on the Amalfi Coast, although some hotels and restaurants offer free Wi-Fi. The town of Maiori offers free Wi-Fi to residents and tourists. Just provide a valid identity document copy and get a wireless internet access card from the Municipality of the town or the Local Tourist Office!
Departure timings are very strict in order to maximize the time you get at each stop. If you miss the pick-up, there won’t be any scope for rescheduling or cancellation. Please ensure you reach before time!
Please check the date and time of your tour very carefully before booking, as date changes are usually not possible once confirmed.
The distance between Rome and the Amalfi Coast is approximately 279.5 km, and a one-way road journey can take over 3.5 hours.
No. Situated just north of the iconic coast, the hilly coastal town after which the Sorrentine Peninsula is named, faces the Bay of Naples. The Amalfi Coast runs along the south of this peninsula and looks out at the Tyrrhenian Sea, encompassing the towns from Positano to Salerno. However, you can always customize your Rome to Amalfi Coast day trip to stop by this large and serene town!
Unfortunately, these day trips are not accessible by wheelchair and pram/strollers, and not recommended for those with impairments related to visual, hearing, and mobility. The Amalfi Coast itself is accessible to a degree, although smaller streets and slopes may pose a challenge.
While the winter months may be moderately cooler and free of crowds, it is also off-season, which means that most services and marketplaces are shut. Ferries also cease to run during these months since the sea becomes rougher.
The Bay of Naples is on the way to Amalfi, and the city of Pompei is serviced by numerous bus and train lines, making it a great detour. Want to include a visit to Pompeii? Check out this day trip or this semi-private tour.
Unfortunately, due to the terrain and logistics, your furry/scaly friends will have to stay back on these day trips.
Only if you’re planning to visit a religious building, where knees and shoulders must be covered. On the Amalfi Coast, you can dress how you want without restrictions—just consider the weather and terrain!
All good for ticketing, scanned through, very long day and you do rush through Pompeii but the guides are brilliant and lovely hour and a half in Positano - LL and Andreah were brilliant
Clair was our tour guide for the bus journey and she was excellent. She kept us up to date and informed during the whole trip. We really enjoyed the trip to Sorrento. A lovely town with lots to do re shopping. The visit to Pompeii was exceptional and so worth the visit. The guide had a really good knowledge.
I think it would have been easier for us to do Pompeii at the beginning of the day as it's very tiring. The rest is more relaxed, so it's perfect for the rest of the day. Thank you
This experience is perfect if you want to to spend a day to venture further afield from Rome. We got the chance to see Pompeii and to spend some time in the beautiful Sorrento. We weren't sure if we would have enough time in Pompeii but with the heat and lack of shade, we appreciated the time restraints and felt we had enough time in Pompeii. I'd highly recommend and it was the highlight of our trip.
I loved the experience of seeing so much in one day, Pompeii and Sorrento were breathtaking. However Personally I think you need to have less time spent in Sorrento and more foxus on Pompeii. I felt that we were only barely able to scratch the surface of Pompeii and the tour felt very rushed
I loved this trip, everything was so organised and our guide Rob (Roberto) was so lovely and funny! His story telling skills would draw you in!
The guided tour was well worth the price. Laura and Romel were excellent guides and really made the experience enjoyable. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars only because I expected a bit more from the Pompeii portion of the tour. That said, the overall experience was fabulous! The Amalfi Coast was absolutely stunning, and Laura even gave us small gifts and helpful tips on places to visit. A memorable and well-organized tour!
Very well run and organised, our guide and driver were both fantastic... Could not fault the day.
Excellent experience worth seeing
Pompeii was great. Sorento was also really nice. The bus ride was pleasant other than the traffic on the way back.
With an expert guide, journey from Rome to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast in a comfy AC coach!
Inclusions
The cruise. Too much time in Positano and not enough in Amalfi
Our guide, Sammie, was excellent. We had plenty of time to enjoy Positano, which was great. However, the overall bus and boat trip felt quite long.
Sight seeing and the trip organization.
If your your guide is a Turkish person named Semih Topaloglu, please don't go in the tour. He will pretend to be really nice but in real is extremely rude and unpleasant. At the end of the tour, I asked him if I can use the toilet for just 2 mins. he got really upset and said he will not wait and will leave with the group. I asked him this when I saw the toilet right in front of me. I reached the bus before the rest of the group. There was no point in shouting at the top of his voice and saying so rudely in front of the entire group. Also, he is not safe with women as I saw him constantly trying to be with only one single girl trying to woo her and get to somewhere we all know about.
Our guide Angela was great and the bus driver Giovanni incredible. Too bad the strong wind prevented us from visiting Amalfi. You can't control the weather... To be repeated
l dunno how this got rated as awesome. The trip was good but it could have been better. The tour guide Semih was amazing and kept it fun, but we hardly got to spend anytime in either of the island. Would have been better off to just go to one island and spend some quality time there, rather than hurrying and visiting two. Would not recommend this tour for that reason.
The tour guide was very nice and the location was also very beautiful. However, I would have liked more information about the itinerary in advance.
We had only 2 hours in Positano which is not enough , most time in the bus .
Our tour director, Fabriztia, was so good and knowledgeable, just the right amount of information to entertain and enlighten. The destinations were beautiful and the transportation was clean and punctual. I would definitely recommend.
Beautiful city's, great and professional guide .
Our tour guide was so attentive and the best one we had 20 day trip to Europe!!
The scenery was great. The ride was great. Please arrange more time for Almafi and Positano. Visits
We paid for Amalfi and Positano, but they only took us to Sorrento, the CityWonders agency decided to take us only to Sorrento because of the weather conditions.
