The Amalfi Coast Group Tour
This tour departs from Piazza Tasso in Sorrento

The Amalfi Coast Tour

Booking: IV Travel

The “Amalfi Drive” is said to be the most spectacular road in the world.  On this tour we depart from Sorrento, the winding cliff top road offers breathtaking panoramic views at every bend. Each town we stop in on the Amalfi coast dazzles the senses and inspires unforgettable impressions.

On this tour, we drive first to the town Amalfi, which gives its name to the whole coast on which it lies. Once a thriving Marine Republic, powerful and prosperous and now a thriving holiday resort. The unmistakable cluster of white tightly packed houses rising up the hillside is dominated by the beautiful Cathedral, which stands superbly on the top of a great flight of steps leading up from the main square. Housed in the magnificent Cathedral are the remains of the Patron Saint of Amalfi and also Scotland – Saint Andrew.

From Amalfi we visit Ravello, which nestles eleven hundred feet above the sea in the hillside. We visit the Villa Rufolo which gave the musician Richard Wagner the inspiration to create one of his most famous operas, Parsifal.
