We had Daniel as our driver for our private tour of the Amalfi area from Sorrento. He was right on time for our tour, picking us up at our hotel first thing in the morning in a very spacious, clean and comfortable Mercedes luxury van. We brought along our small dachshund pups who were traveling with us through Italy. Daniel and his team made them feel like celebrity VIPs, the center of attention everywhere they went!
We first drove through the scenic countryside and stopped in Positano. Daniel gave us some time to explore the upper part of the town, where it was much less crowded with tourists. After exploring we stopped for a café on our way back to Daniel.
After Positano we drove through Amalfi (not stopping since we already went there the day before via boat and was super crowded with tourists) and made our way to Ravello. This is truly a gem of a small town. It's not as easy to reach as Amalfi or Positano since it sits up on the hill away from the sea. This makes it much less crowded, which is exactly what we were hoping for. We loved winding through the narrow walkways and peering through the gates into the meticulously manicured courtyards of the hotels and inns.
After leaving Ravello we headed back towards Sorrento and stopped for an olive oil and wine tasting at a local farm. So delicious, and so much wine! Daniel was very professional, a safe driver, and very educational throughout our tour. Would definitely recommend Daniel and his team for a private tour of the Amalfi coast area.
