Getting around Amalfi Coast is best done through guided tours that maximize your time and local expertise. For sea views without the hassle, small-group boat excursions from Amalfi town let you soak in the dramatic coastline while learning about centuries-old fishing villages. The legendary Path of the Gods hike deserves its reputation – local guides share fascinating details about the ancient mule paths and help with logistics.
I’m especially fond of the Ravello music and gardens tours, where expert guides bring the artistic heritage to life. For food lovers, hands-on cooking workshops in Minori offer an authentic peek into regional cuisine. The half-day Pompeii tours, timed for morning visits before the crowds and heat, are particularly worthwhile.
These are our favorite guided experiences across the Amalfi Coast…
