Highlights
  • Salerno - Once a collection of fishing villages, Italy’s magnificent Amalfi Coast is now a world-class tourist destination. But as is often the case, with great beauty come great problems. Too many vehicles, crippling traffic, too few parking areas, and hairpin curves that make two-way traffic unbearable, are just a few of the challenges faced by Italy’s Amalfi Coast in recent years.

This day trip from Rome allows you to travel smarter, without sacrificing on comfort or style. Visiting the Amalfi Coast by high-speed train means you’ll not only enjoy extra legroom and complimentary beverages and snacks, but you’ll also cut travel time to the coast in HALF. You’ll step off the train and onto the pier where your Amalfi Coast adventure begins.

  • Positano - In an intimate group, your guide will lead the way from the train to the ferryboat. Once seated, enjoy a one-hour cruise from Salerno to Positano the UNESCO World Heritage site of once-fishing villages-turned stomping ground for the world’s elite. You’ll step back onto terra ferma 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, the town of Amalfi.

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.

  • Amalfi - 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.

When in Rome travel to Amalfi for the day - We had the most perfect day at the Amalfi coast. Tne tour is so organized and runs like clockwork from the moment we met our guide. After the high speed train we met Mauro in Salerno and he was amazing!! He kept us on point getting on and off the ferry and to our beautiful destinations, Positano and Amalfi. He also gave us tips and we then could have free time to roam. We always knew where to meet up with him to continue on. We couldn’t have done this day trip without Mauro!! The day trip from Tome was perfect and of course the fantastic weather helped.

Amalfi Coast Day trip-high speed from Rome - This was a long day however I knew to expect that (read the reviews in advance). Love that the group was small (11) and made it easy to travel with a small group throughout the day. The high speed train over was great (only 1.5hr and really nice) but unfortunately we had to take a longer train back (but now within their control)-much longer. The tour was really nice, just enough time in both Positano and Amalfi and sailing along the cost was really nice. Overall wonderful day trip and would definitely recommend.

The highlight of our trip! - This was the favorite tour for me and both of my young kids. Our Rome and local Salerno guides were both fantastic. There was complete peace of mind that we would be where we needed to be and at the right time. The group was great and everyone looked out for and helped each other. Mauro is an amazing guide! He really looked out for us and made sure to check in on each of us throughout the trip. The trip to/from the train and ferry in Salerno was very fast paced and difficult for me and my 5 year old. You also really need sunscreen and a way to stay cool (fan, water, cooling towel, etc). The rest was perfection. This was my favorite day in Italy.

AMAZING - This was a perfect way to end a 2 week trip in the hottest summer ever. Mauro was so helpful in making sure that we found an air-conditioned restaurant, and the free limoncello shots was a nice treat!

If I could give 6 stars, I would - One of our favorite days. Our guide was excellent and the stops were great. Our return train from Sorrento to Rome was delayed and canceled at one point. It was pretty late, say 7pm already. Our guide jumped on it and started trying to get us a bus to get us back to Rome. He found air conditioning and food for us while we waited over 2 hours. Then, all of a sudden the train shows up, haha. The delay is just part of travel and I felt he totally had us covered which was pretty amazing. If I could give six stars, I would.

The High Speed Train... - The High Speed Train experience was great! We had a fun day traveling by train and ferry to Salerno, Positano and the Amalfi Coast. Plenty of time in Amalfi for the beach and shopping! Unfortunately, our train back to Rome was cancelled! The tour operator found a way to put our group in a luxury van for the ride home ... Not ideal, but it was the best option to get us back!! Kudos to them for making it happen!

A must do day trip - What a day! Amalfi Coast is breathtaking. Loved Positano&Amalfi. The views, food, desserts, shopping, everything was amazing. Mauro was an excellent tour guide. He shared so much information with the group. He was energetic and humorous. Enjoyed sharing the day with him. He made sure everyone was accounted for and we moved from each location seamlessly. A must do while in Rome!

Charming and picturesque - Amalfi Coast is charming and picturesque. Our tour guide, Mauro was outstanding. He gave individualized attention to everyone in the group. He was funny, engaging, and informative. The only reason I rated a 4 and not 5 are factors the tour company cannot control, namely, the heat and humidity and the droves of people. I recommend the tour but definitely not in the summer.

Amalfi coast - Glad to have someone else organise the train tickets and boat tickets. But that’s all that we got in terms of a tour - which was ok! Going to the Amalfi coast from Rome for a day was great! And very doable.
