Overview
Discover the wonders of the Amalfi Coast on this guided trip from Rome. Ride a train to Salerno and take in the passing sights on a ferry ride along the coast. Stop in Amalfi and visit a lemon orchard for a limoncello tasting.
The day starts in Rome where you’ll catch a high-speed train to Salerno with your group of travelers and a tour leader. From there, hop on a ferry ride that takes you along the stunning Amalfi Coast.
The first stop is Amalfi, where you’ll head up to a lovely, family-run lemon orchard. Walk the rows of fragrant lemon trees with only your small group as you discover the regional tradition of lemon growing. The farm is perched above the town and offers stunning views out to sea. After your tour of the orchard, you'll have a deeper appreciation for the limoncello tasting. Savor the sweet and tangy liquor produced right on farm. Following the tasting, take advantage of free time to explore the town and, if you enjoyed what you tried, buy some limoncello to take home.
Embark on another ferry ride along the epic coastline to your next stop, the neighboring town of Positano, a small fishing village that has long been the holiday destination of choice for VIPs, from the Romantic poets of the 19th century to today’s Hollywood stars. After an orientation walk with your guide, you’ll have two hours of free time. Browse the boutiques filled with world-famous beachwear, have leather sandals made to fit your feet, or enjoy a lunch of local delicacies at a seaside cafe (costs not included). Don’t forget to bring your swimsuit, as there’s nothing nicer on a summer’s day than a dip in the sea.
After you've gotten to know Positano, head back on the boat for a return cruise to Salerno where you’ll catch the train back to Rome.
