Exceptional Private Limo Service and Drivers for transfers and tours. - When planning a tour of the Amalfi Coast I couldn't decide between an excursion by car or by boat. The two options were completely different experiences and of course weather conditions are always a factor in Italy.
My travel consultant extraordinaire Carrie Smith suggested transfers and a tour with Euro Limo in Sorrento. I reached out to them directly and their communication team was very efficient.
The cost for a private tour was $480 Euros for two and was scheduled to be 8 hours in duration. As a side-note, for each transfer or tour we booked during our stay we were picked up in a 7 seater luxury black Mercedes van with a driver who was impeccably dressed in a suit, white collared shirt and tie. To be honest, this was the first time that we have ever had a chauffeur and could get used to this lifestyle!
We ended up having such a great time with our private driver Pippo our Amalfi Coast tour extended from the standard 8 hours to 11 hours ! We covered so much in a day it was amazing!
Let me begin by saying that our driver Pippo was the main reason we had the most memorable experience of our lives. He greeted us with a small gift of lemons and homemade limoncello from his home. Such a lovely gesture !
We stopped at many key points along the coast and with each stop Pippo gave us the opportunity to explore aided by his expert directions and knowledge of area. Our main stops were in Positano, Minori, Maiori, Salerno, Scala, Vietri, Ravello, Fiordo and Amalfi. As well, he ensured that we had many photo opportunities along the route of the coast in the most picturesque places.
Highlights of the tour included a stop at a ceramics factory where I met the owner’s mama (now she’s my Nonna!) This was a special place to stop and shop or admire the hand painted ceramics for gifts or home decor.
From there we set off to have lunch at Ristorante Torre Normanna - a waterfront watchtower built in 1250. As I descended the long stone staircase to the entrance of this magnificent structure, l was overcome with emotion by the sheer brilliance of the exquisite views. We had requested a unique location for lunch with a spectacular view and Pippo did not disappoint us with his choice of restaurant. We asked him to join us for lunch and the three of us enjoyed a magnificent meal with exemplary service at this restaurant. We will never forget it and it was an honour to have Pippo with us for this experience.
Our next stop was the small town of Scala where we climbed up a stone staircase into the mountainside with a “look out point” over Ravello. We absolutely loved it (my calves felt it later!)
We then went to “piazza Ravello” (the central square) and toured the 13th century Villa Rufolo . After purchasing entrance tickets, we walked through the magnificent gardens, historical Villa and museum. We also enjoyed strolling the quaint streets of this town.
Our final stop was in the town of Amalfi where we concluded our day with the best gelato we have ever eaten.
I simply cannot express enough gratitude to our driver Pippo for giving us the tour of our dreams and for his warmth, humour, knowledge and kindness. As well, he is an exceptional driver while navigating the challenging streets of the Amalfi Coast.
Thank you to Nello and his team at Euro limo for the excellent service and comfort you provided to us during our stay in Sorrento. A special thank you and big hugs to Pippo for making our dreams come true! The memories of the sights we visited will remain in our hearts forever. Grazie mille!! Xoxox

Wonderful memories - Eurolimo was recommended to us by our host at the Airbnb we stayed at in Sorrento. We are a family of 8. We used them for private transfers from Rome to Sorrento and to the train station as well as two excursions. One was the Pompeii/Mt. Vesuvius day trip the other was the Amalfi Coast day trip. Alberto was our driver for those days and he was fantastic!! He surprised us with many extra stops, made lunch reservations for us and made sure we always had what we needed to enjoy our day. He was informative and friendly! Thank you Alberto for helping us create wonderful memories!!

Perfect Pippo - Pippo was amazing. We were visiting my Grandfather's birthplace and when we arrived he had arranged a meeting with the local tourism guide to show us around the village, a meeting with a distant cousin, and a lunch. We really feel that he cared, and went out of his way to make our day special.

Overall a good private tour - My family of 4 used Eurolimo for its Positano - Amalfi - Ravelo, private tour, leaving Sorrento. We booked very late during a busy mid-May. We contracted Nello directly and he explained how the tour worked and its flexibility. He also discussed pricing. We were able to book it directly with him.
Our driver was Alberto, and he arrived at our accommodations on time. As we got underway he offered each of us a bottle of cold water and told us a a little more of what to expect on the tour. He did warn us about heavy traffic due to tourists in those areas, especially Positano and Amalfi.
Along the way we made a couple stops for photos and a stop at a grotto. Heavy traffic did affect the time we spent in each location (when they say that the earlier you start your tour, the better, they do mean it.) But we were able to see the areas we wanted to. In hindsight we probably should have passed on the grotto, as it did use up close to an hour of our tour time.
Alberto was very helpful in recommendations and directions for each location. He dropped us off and picked us up as close to the center of activity as he could. He seemed very knowledgeable about the locations and the best ways of getting there.
Overall it was a good private tour. I would recommend it, but advise to leave as early as possible, especially if going during the busy tourist season, and discuss with your driver all the stops that are planned and consider skipping some of them.

Fabulous Amalfi Coast Tour! - My husband and I used Euro Limo for a full day tour of the Amalfi Coast. Our guide, Pippo, was just amazing. He picked us up at our apartment in Positano right on time and took us to a number of towns along the coast including Amalfi, Minori, Maiori and Ravello and also made several other stops for photo ops. He even stopped at a very small town that is not known by travelers to show us the beautiful view of Ravello from there. He recommended a very unique restaurant for lunch that we thoroughly enjoyed. We also enjoyed hearing about his family, his hobbies and what it’s like to live in Italy. He was extremely knowledgeable about every place we visited and did an excellent job adjusting to the unexpected road closures. I would definitely recommend booking a full day tour with Euro Limo. And ask for Pippo to be your guide!!

Life is better with Rino!!! - We took a 12 day trip to Italy. We saw Rome, Florence, Tuscany, and the Sorrento/Amalfi/Positano region. The entire trip was awesome BUT, by far our best day was spent with Rino, our driver with EuroLimo! Rino took us all over Positano, Ravello, and Amalfi. We told him what we wanted to see and he organized it on the spot! He was so very friendly and informative. His suggestions greatly enhanced our experience. He even booked a last minute dinner for us. He called several places before finding one and he delivered BIG TIME! The only reason I gave Rino five stars is because I couldn’t give him ten. You won’t be sorry if you spend a day with Rino!

The experience of a lifetime. - Words cannot describe how much we loved our experience. Wonderful way to see Positano, Amalfi, Revello and many more hidden gems. Rino was excellent and we enjoyed his wealth of knowledge about each place, while suggesting must see spots along the way. Don’t think about it, just book it! You won’t regret it. Our favorite part of our trip, hands down. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

Pippo is the best! - I had such a great time on this trip because of our driver, Pippo. Pippo was so personable and knowledgeable about not only the areas we toured, but also Italy as a whole! He was very accommodating to our schedule and friendly as can be. I will miss him dearly!
