What an amazing day

Rob was hands down one of the best tour guides I have ever experienced. His knowledge, gentle nature and animated dialogue were next level. Only wish was a bit more time in Amalfi rather than Positano. Amalfi is amazing and you must do the lemon sorbetto but remember the further you walk the cheaper and better they become so don’t be tempted to stop at first store.

7 BEST Amalfi Coast Tours from Rome [2024]

By: Author Stefania Guglielmi

Posted on Last updated: July 11, 2024

Categories Europe , Italy

Renowned for its staggering coastline and colorful villages, the Amalfi Coast is considered one of the gems of Southern Italy. And it’s also one of the most coveted holiday destinations for both locals and tourists.

I was born and raised in Bologna , a city a few hours north of the Amalfi Coast, yet somehow I only visited this region for the first time a few years ago. And now I can see why everyone’s obsessed with it!

I always recommend spending at least 2-3 nights on the Amalfi Coast to explore it properly. It truly has a lot in store to offer its visitors.

However, I know that many people just can’t add extra days to their vacation – yet, they don’t want to leave Italy without visiting the famous coastline. Understandable!

If you’re planning a trip to Rome, have limited time, and want to explore this breathtaking region, a day tour is a perfect way to do it. In fact, I do NOT recommend going on a day trip from Rome on your own .

You can theoretically do it, but it will be a logistical nightmare and you’ll end up spending the vast majority of your time in trains, buses or ferries.

Our list of Amalfi Coast day tours is super comprehensive, offering excursions that include visits to Pompeii and Capri as well. This way, you can make the most of your time in the area!

Whether you’re interested in history, culture, or simply soaking up the beauty of the coastline, there’s a tour on this list that’s perfect for you . So sit back, relax, and let us guide you through the best Amalfi Coast tours from Rome.

Why should you trust my suggestions? I was born and raised in Bologna, Italy, and have explored the Amalfi Coast on several occasions. Not only I’m familiar with the region, but I have a decade of experience helping people plan their trips to Italy (and around the world!)

I know exactly what a tour needs to offer to be worthy of your time and money, and have a knack for identifying the highest-quality, top-notch excursions out there. You can expect to find here only the best!

I use Viator and Get Your Guide to book tours around the world, and I especially recommend them because of their cancellation policy. Both platforms allow you to cancel most activities up to 24 hours in advance and receive a full refund.

Limited time? These are the best tours :

OUR PICK: The BEST Amalfi Coast Day Trip from Rome

The Boat-Hopping On The Amalfi Coast: Day Trip from Rome is a full-day excursion for small groups. You’ll leave the Eternal City on a fast-speed train, accompanied by a professional guide.

Upon reaching Salerno, you’ll board a ferry and cruise past the pastel-colored towns perched on the cliffs. It’s a sight to behold!

Stop for a visit in Amalfi Town, and head to a lemon orchard for a demonstration and tastings of limoncello. Then, make the most of your free time to wander around the enchanting town.

Your trip continues with another ferry ride to Positano, the quintessential village of the Amalfi Coast. Learn all the best spots from your guide, and then go explore on your own. Be sure to check out the viewpoints, and the cute shops!

At the end of the day, catch a boat to return to Salerno, where you’ll take the high-speed train back to Rome.

Why is this the best tour? It’s the perfect introduction to the Amalfi Coast, offering plenty of time to explore its major towns: Amalfi and Positano. You’ll enjoy not one, but three scenic ferry rides along the coastline, and you’ll even sample the famous limoncello liquor.

Read what the reviews say :

“ Wow! Visiting the Amalfi Coast for a day after spending time in Rome was like another world! Our guide Roberta was knowledgeable and engaging. The views at the top were incredible. We had a perfect amount of free time for lunch and exploring/shopping. The train/ferry were seamless. Would absolutely recommend this day trip to anyone looking for a unique experience!” Kathryn – Read more reviews

AMALFI COAST DAY TRIP BY HIGH SPEED TRAIN

11 HOURS • ALL AGES

Quick Details

• Hour Glass Duration: 11 Hours
• Tag Tour category: Rome Tours

This full day tour takes you from Rome to the Amalfi Coast in just over one hour by high speed train. A fully guided rail & boat combo, this day trip is the absolute most incredible and sustainable way to visit the Amalfi Coast.

Highlights:

• Contribute to responsible and sustainable tourism with this train & boat combo
• Travel in absolute comfort with ample leg room, Wi-Fi, restrooms and refreshments
• Avoid the unbearable traffic and hairpin turns of the Amalfi Coast roads
• Explore the awe-inspiring wonders of a Unesco World Heritage site

Depart from Termini Station by high-speed train at 9:00am. In just over an hour we arrive in Salerno where your Italia Tours leader will greet you and lead the way to the pier where your Amalfi Coast adventure begins.

Get comfortable on the boat and enjoy a one hour cruise. Take in the pristine white beaches, scenic fishing villages, whitewashed villas, and the characteristic cliffs that create the backdrop for this Unesco Heritage site.

Step back onto terra firma to explore Positano, the jewel of the Amalfi Coast. Choose whether to have a morning swim or explore the dozens of chic boutiques and artisan shops, then enjoy a leisurely lunch before returning to the pier for a short ride to our next destination.

It’s no wonder why this stunning coastline takes its name from Amalfi. This bustling town is where the action is, packed with shops, beaches, restaurants, and picture-perfect photo ops. Your guide will provide you with a short orientation stroll including an overview of the 11th century cathedral and a limoncello tasting at one of the local shops, after which you can enjoy some free time shopping and exploring or hit the beach.

From Amalfi, enjoy a short cruise back to Salerno while taking in unique views of the towns of Minori, Maiori, Cetara, and Ravello from the water. Your guide will accompany you from the pier to the station (just a few steps away) in time for your return journey to Rome.
