Rail and ferry tickets are included at €279 per person, lunch and tips are not. Rough seas can change the plan, and it is not possible with a wheelchair. ## Overview Italy's magnificent Amalfi Coast is now a world-class tourist destination. This day trip from Rome allows you to travel smarter, without sacrificing on comfort or style. You'll step off the train and onto the pier where your Amalfi Coast adventure begins. In an intimate group, your local expert will lead the way from the train to the ferryboat. Once seated, enjoy a one-hour cruise from Salerno to Positano while taking in the coastline of characteristic cliffs that create the backdrop for this UNESCO World Heritage site. Then choose whether to have a morning swim or explore the dozens of chic boutiques and artisan shops. Enjoy a leisurely lunch before returning to the pier for a short ride to our next destination, the town of 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 in time for your return journey to Rome. ## Key facts - Price: from €279 per person - Duration: 11h - Rating: 4.58/5 from 203 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: ItaliaTours ## What's included - Ferryboat tickets along the Amalfi Coast - Hassle-free experience — we take care of all the details! - English speaking tour and guided orientation in Positano and Amalfi - Round trip high-speed rail from Rome to Salerno - Free time for swimming or shopping ## Not included - Gratuities - Personal extras - Lunch ## Itinerary 1. **Stazione Roma Termini** (10m) - Meet up at the station with our coordinator who will walk with you to the train 2. **Positano** (1h 45m) - In an intimate group, your local expert will lead the way from the train to the ferryboat.
