What you'll see and do
Meta
The municipality of Meta is located in the Sorrento peninsula along with the municipalities of Vico Equense, Piano di Sorrento, Sant'Agnello, Sorrento and Massa Lubrense. It is the second country on the peninsula coming from Naples, after Vico Equense, it overlooks only the Gulf of Naples. Meta rises about 111 meters above sea level and covers an area of about 2.5 km2, which include both coastal areas, with over 800 meters of coastline, and mountainous areas, with the hamlet of Alberi, Monte Vico Alvano in the South East, 642 meters, and part of the Lattari Mountains. Although there are no real political divisions within the municipality, popular tradition sees Meta divided into two distinct parts: Meta "above" and Meta "below"; the first includes Trees and the inner area of the country; the second is instead composed of the area in front of the coast.

Sorrento
The city of Sorrento, from which the whole territory that, perched on the Lattari Mountains, separates the Gulf of Naples from that of Salerno, takes its name, is a renowned destination for international tourism: lying on a large tufa terrace overlooking the sea, it is a small and quiet holiday resort famous for its villas, hotels, parks and gardens, as well as for the beautiful views and characteristic citrus groves. Of Greek origin, and then raised under Roman domination, Sorrento gravitates today around Piazza Tasso and Corso Italia (on which the Duomo stands), from which you can reach the sea view through a maze of narrow streets full of characteristic and lively shops. The most impressive view is that observable from the viewpoint of the Villa Comunale, which opens onto the port and the entire Gulf of Naples.

Li Galli
Gallo Lungo is the largest of the three and is the only one to have been inhabited since Roman times: it has an elongated shape that extends for about 400 m with a variable width that towards the center is about 100 m and towards the "head" is about 200 m. To the west of Gallo Lungo are La Rotonda and Dei Briganti to the north of the Rotonda, the latter denomination reported on the website of the municipality of Positano,[1] although more commonly the island is referred to on texts as La Castelluccia. The islets are covered with grass and shrubs, with a great abundance of daffodils.

Positano
Positano is perhaps a unique place in the world! It is a jewel of spontaneous architecture, set on the rock overlooking the sea. Clusters of colorful houses, sometimes cubic in appearance, are built on often very steep steps, which descend to the beach, connected by alleys and long staircases. If arriving in Positano along the coastal road, from Amalfi or Sorrento, offers sudden panoramic views from above over the small town, disembarking from the sea is truly a unique experience that fills the eyes and soul with beauty! And it is precisely from the sea, that around the first century AD.The Romans arrived first, intent on building sumptuous maritime villas in Positano and along the Amalfi Coast ‘for the exercise of their refined idleness’. The villa of Positano would have belonged to Posides Claudi Cesaris, freedman of Emperor Claudius, hence the name of Posidianum extended from the villa to the entire place.

Fiordo di Furore
Furore is one of the most picturesque villages on the Amalfi Coast. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. Best known for its striking fjord, it is also the home of Fiorduva, one of the most appreciated wines in the world. A small reality with great riches to discover. Furore will captivate you especially for its landscape appearance. It appears, in fact, as a charming village set in a deep valley: a nativity scene of houses clinging to the slopes of the Lattari Mountains, remained intact over time, wedged between overhanging rocks and rich vegetation climbed on rock walls.

Grotta dello Smeraldo (Emerald Grotto)
The existence of the cave was unknown until 1932, when a fisherman accidentally discovered its existence. The life of the fisherman, called Luigi Buonocore, totally changed, to the point that from the moment of discovery until his death the man was labeled as “discoverer of the cave” (legend has it that Mr. Luigi was recognized on the street, until he assumed the connotations of “living myth”). The merit of this fisherman is really enormous, since he brought to everyone's attention a wonderful space for tourist, but also scientific purposes. The cave is in fact a magical kingdom, where light takes on wonderful and fairytale connotations. When the sea is calm and the sun is high, the cave really looks magical thanks to the reflections that the light is able to generate.

Amalfi
Amalfi, charming town on the Amalfi Coast, Italy. With colorful architecture and historic cathedrals, it overlooks the Tyrrhenian Sea. Its Mediterranean charm, terraced lemon groves and delicious cuisine capture the hearts of visitors. The Cathedral of St. Andrew and the museums tell its rich history. Breathtaking views and leisure activities make Amalfi a must-see destination. Ideal base for exploring other coastal gems. A magical place that fascinates and enchants anyone who sets foot there.

Had a very successful day with Ciro.
Ciro kept us well informed in advance where and when we were picked up. Vale stories on the go and also flexible for daily planning. Nice places visited and safely back. Thank you for this day.
Response from the operator: Dear Ronald, Thank you very much for your kind review! I'm happy to hear that you had such a great day with Ciro.

It’s great to know you enjoyed the beautiful places and felt safe during the whole trip. Thank you for choosing Ciao Naples Tours. We hope to welcome you back to Italy in the future! Best regards, Davide

Great tour of Pompeii Sorrento and Positano
We arrived at the Naples Port from a Viking cruise ship. It was easy to find Ciro and his Mercedes tour van outside the Maritime trrminal. It was only my wife and myself and although Viking cruise excursions had a similar itinerary, we did not want to be in a big group (which was sometimes 40 people on a Viking excursion). Ciro was a great guide, who knows the area. We discussed an itinerary and when we needed to return. He kept to the schedule in a stressless way. As other comments have said, we asked for a tour guide for Pompeii. You can do it on your own but in our 2 hour tour, we saw a lot, heard the history with a few jokes with our great guide Gennero. The 2 person admission tickets and the fee for the guide totaled $150 (not including optional tip). I highly recommend this tour of this beautiful area.
Response from the operator: Dear Steve, thank you very much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that your day with Ciro was enjoyable and stress-free, and that the private experience offered exactly what you were looking for compared to large cruise excursions. It’s great to know that your guided tour of Pompeii with Gennaro made the visit even more meaningful — exploring the ruins with an expert really adds a special touch. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are grateful you chose us during your stop in Naples. We hope to welcome you again on your next visit to the area! Warm regards, Davide – CiaoNaples

Must See
We had a personal driver Raffaele in a comfortable Mercedes van. We were able to visit Positano , Sorento and final stop in Pompeii . Along the way Raffaele local knowledge allowed him to stop at certain points to take picturesque photos on the way to our destinations. I would definitely suggest private or semi private (friends or family) for the Naples region tours because of the amount of time it takes to drive to each destination and you can dictate how long you want to stay at each place and see more.
Response from the operator: Dear Gary, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day exploring Positano, Sorrento, and Pompeii with Raffaele. His local knowledge and care in making stops for the best views truly add something special to the experience. We completely agree that a private or semi-private tour makes all the difference when exploring the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii—it allows you to relax, enjoy the drive in comfort, and spend time exactly as you wish at each destination. It was a pleasure to have you with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Naples and the Amalfi Coast for another unforgettable adventure! Warm regards, Davide & the CiaoNaples Team

Truly the best!
Highly recommend this company! We used them for a day excursion from the Salerno on our cruise, and they were so easy to work with including helping with date changes (I booked the wrong date by accident and they caught it for me!), and when our port changed. Our guide was Raffeale and he was amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable and gave us so many great tips for the local areas, and even helped with our Italian. Would couldn’t recommend anyone better, definitely made our time truly memorable!
Response from the operator: Dear Lindsey, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience with us was truly memorable. It was a real pleasure helping you adjust your booking, and we’re glad everything worked out smoothly despite the port and date changes. Raffaele will be delighted to know how much you appreciated his knowledge, tips, and even his help with Italian! We’re proud to have him on our team. We hope to welcome you again in the future for another unforgettable day in our beautiful region. Warm regards, Davide Lombardo Ciao Naples

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi Private Tour: Day Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Naples.
How much does Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi Private Tour: Day Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $101 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Naples usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi Private Tour: Day Trip take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Naples is not rushed.
Is Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi Private Tour: Day Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Naples, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi Private Tour: Day Trip?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi Private Tour: Day Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi Private Tour: Day Trip?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Naples can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Naples and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi Private Tour: Day Trip start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Naples within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Naples?
+
On Outty we rank every Naples experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full Day Private Amalfi Coast Tour from Sorrento/Naples/Salerno, Caserta Royal Palace & Gardens Small Group Tour with Shuttle, Naples Pizza and Tiramisu Cooking Class. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Naples?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Naples?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
