MiMiMurrieta Posted April 23, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 23, 2018 My husband and I and our friends John and Patricia Gugliotta are considering an Amalfi Coast tour. Has anyone got one to recommend? Prefer to book separate from Ship excursions. Thank you. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted April 24, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 24, 2018 We prefer to take private tours. We took a tour from Sorrento to the Amalfi coast. There were 8 of us -plus the guide/driver. The 50 or so passenger Princess tours could not go to many of the places we went Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Woobstr112G Posted April 24, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I agree with Paul. I've arranged several private excursions to the Amalfi Coast and Sorento. They are so much better that being on a bus with 40-50 other cruisers.....:):):) Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare dickinson Posted April 24, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Look on the Italy ports of call forum. That is where people will post about their tours and ask questions like yours. When we were there we were on a private tour arranged by someone on our roll call. It was wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Sticky Post on all of the port threads that it is not allowed..... Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted April 24, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Check out APTours. We used them last fall when porting at Naples. We did Pompeii, the Amalfi Coast to Positano and then back to Sorrento to catch the ferry to the cruise Port. They were great.

hobbyfarmer2 Posted April 24, 2018 #8 Share Posted April 24, 2018 We took a Princess tour to Sorrento and a small boat tour along the Amalfi coast from Salerno to Amalfi last May. We really enjoyed lovely Sorrento, the bait ride and the stop in Amalfi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IECalCruiser Posted April 24, 2018 #11 Share Posted April 24, 2018 (edited) We had an excellent tour of Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast including Positano and Sorento by AP Tours a couple of years ago. We also used Share a Shore Excursion in Livorno and Rome. Would highly recommend both of them. Our DD had an excellent tour of Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast with Shared Tours Mondoguide for Rick Steves. The guide in Pompeii was a member of the family that did much of the excavation work in Pompeii.

minikiss Posted April 24, 2018 #12 Share Posted April 24, 2018 We have booked tours with Italy tours sharing by Joe Banana before. They have several options to pick from, we have done the Pompeii and Amalfi Coast and then the year after Herculaneum and the Amalfi coast. Enjoyed both and can highly recommend them. We joined a sharing tour for both. Jules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted April 25, 2018 #20 Share Posted April 25, 2018 We booked a Viator worry free shore excursion that visited all the main Amalfi Coast villages. Our ship wasn’t cleared for 2 hours in the morning due to rampant norovirus, and the tour company waited for the 6 of us doing that excursion (they had us in multiple shuttles for some reason), even making alternate transport arrangements for us to meet the rest of the group in Sorrento. It was a total whirlwind day, and I didn’t have time to fully immerse myself in each village, but it was still worth it to have been able to visit all of the main villages. I was worried the whole drive back we’d miss the ship because the other passengers in our shuttle didn’t have the same time crunch as us and weren’t in a hurry, but we made it back with 30 min. to spare.

We arrived about 15 minutes before opening time so for the first hour or so we had the place mostly to ourselves as the tour guides know to spread out. When we returned back to the Forum the crowds were amazing (this was in mid-October on a weekday). We were so happy to have been early enough to take our pictures of the Forum with Mt. Vesuvius in the background without crowds of people milling around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
