What to expect

As day-visit destinations go, Positano and Amalfi are pure gold. On this full day experience, you'll discover them by ferry, allowing you to take in top views of the Neapolitan Rivera. Enjoy free time to explore, see stunning coastal scenery, and soak up the atmosphere.

Climb aboard a quick and easy ferry service, and you can top up your tan with a seat on deck, or get some shade indoors as we sail out of Sorrento. You'll catch a glimpse of the famous Faraglioni Rocks and then pass the three Li Galli Islands. Your first port of call is Positano, famed for its chic boutiques and colourful homes. Stroll around its maze of steep and crooked lanes packed with cafés and bakeries before hopping back on the boat to Amalfi.

You'll have time to enjoy the atmosphere, sit with a gelato or sip a drink at one of the pavement-side cafés lining the Piazza del Duomo. And be sure to visit the impressive Sant'Andrea Catherdral too.

    We were picked up very early and stood in hot sun with no shelter for a good 40 mins. I did think the crew or someone on board could have told us about the destinations. We had two trips booked with Tui but took another trip to Capri and the captain told us lots of information we didn’t know before we arrived at the Island that was beneficial. Other than that, a very nice way to see the Amalfi coast - driver who collected us from our pick up point was very pleasant.

    The whole journey from Gatwick and the airline staff giving us Prosecco as a honeymoon gift, being met at Napoli and taken to Sorrento, has been epic. The TUI staff at the hotel were amazing. Christine is a credit to your company 100%. All the excursions were perfectly planned. And we did them all over our 2 weeks.

    Positano and Amalfi are both beautiful places but this trip did not leave enough time to look around Positano. Better to see both places individually and under your own steam which we will do in the future.

    Great price, albeit our TUI rep on site was reluctant to help us with questions about the trip as she wanted us to book a more expensive trip. After a very helpful phone call with TUI in Birmingham, I was satisfied to book. The trip itself was easy,picked up on time in the place specified, coach driver was good or as good as Sorrento traffic and scooters would allow. TUI rep on dock was very knowledgeable with clear instructions, only issue was the bun fight at Amalfi for the ferry back.

Naples highlights bus and walking tour with coffee and pastry

From coastal views to centuries-old streets, this Naples tour packs a full day of culture and discovery. Departing from Sorrento, you'll kick things off with a scenic bus ride through the hills as your guide spins tales of Greek mythology and local legends. As local guide Luca puts it, “Naples doesn't just tell its story – it sings it through every piazza, pastry and palace.”The first stop is Mergellina, a breezy seaside district where you'll pause for a proper Neapolitan coffee and a warm sfogliatella – a crisp, shell-shaped pastry filled with ricotta that locals love. Then, it's on to the heart of Naples for a walking tour full of the main architectural highlights. You'll start with a stroll through Piazza Plebiscito, the city's largest and most iconic square. Next up is the Royal Palace, where 19th-century Bourbon kings once lived in serious style. You'll also pop into the Church of San Francesco di Paola, known for its grand design inspired by Rome's Pantheon. From here, it's a short walk to Galleria Umberto I – a 19th-century shopping arcade topped with a glass dome – before checking out the legendary Teatro San Carlo, the oldest continuously active opera house in Europe.The final stretch dives into the city's creative pulse. At Via Toledo Metro Station, contemporary art transforms public transport into a gallery. Then, it's on to Spaccanapoli, the narrow street slicing through the historic centre, buzzing with churches, palaces and the unmistakable rhythm of Neapolitan life.
