The Amalfi Coast can be complicated and time-consuming to visit on your own. Taking a shared minivan or minibus is the simplest and most affordable way to enjoy the sights. This eight/nine-hour trip begins in Naples and heads south for the breathtaking drive (lightly narrated by your driver-or narrated by your guide), and an hour or two in each of the three main towns - Positano, Amalfi and Ravello - before returning to Naples.

Fantastic. All went well. Best way to go to see everything as crowded crowds and buses if trying to do on your own. Driver and guide magnificent. Small number (17) of people in a minivan. Ravello was the standout.

Wow. Hiring Mondo was one of the best travel decisions we’ve made. Vincenzo was our driver for a day touring the Amalfi coast. We rode in a beautiful, comfortable car along this most gorgeous (and a little terrifying!) landscape. Vincenzo was absolutely the best we could have hoped for. First of all, he was a fantastic driver. He did not just zip around the corners. He drove so responsibly and even pulled over a few times to let others go by, so he wouldn’t drive faster than I was comfortable with. He was a fantastic conversationalist. He was kind and sweet and fun and just so enjoyable to be with. A complete professional, but also warm and so comfortable to spend our time in the car with. There is no way I’d be comfortable renting a car and riding with my husband driving, even though he is a great driver. I was so comfortable and confident with Vincenzo driving us, by the end of the day, I was looking happily out the window even when we were driving along sheer drop offs. Vincenzo helped me really enjoy and appreciate the extraordinary beauty of the Amalfi coast. And my husband was so happy to be able to enjoy the view and not have to be watching the road. We were able to stop and explore Positano, Amalfi and Ravello for 1 1/2 hours in each town in order to keep up with the traffic (there’s a lot). We shopped in Positano, ate in Amalfi and enjoyed the views in Ravello. Amalfi was so crowded, it was a bit hard to get a nice lunch and look around for that portion. I might suggest a shorter time in Positano in order to get a little more time in Amalfi, so you can have a nice lunch as well as see the Duomo. But definitely hire Mondo. We used them for this as well as 2 other tours (drivers, as well as Pompeii and the Naples Archeological Museum) and they were all fantastic.

We did a group tour with Mondo of the amalfi coast. The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful with information about the history and each town we visited. The driver was excellent in very heavy challenging traffic. We truly enjoyed this memorable experience. Grazie to all for great memories.

I wish I could give a 10 Star rating of my experience with Mondo Guide. I want to extend an extra special thank you to Federica for organizing such an amazing three day trip in southern Italy.
Our first day consisted of a private tour of Rovello, Amalfi, and Positano with our tour guide and driver, Giovanni, who was absolutely amazing. He was an excellent tour guide and a wonderful companion. We were all very impressed with his driving skills and how well he spoke English. He made our first day to the Amalfi Coast, Rovello, and Positano very special!
Day 2 was a lovely trip to Capri. We began our experience with a private boat ride around the island of Capri. It was truly an amazing adventure! Though the Blue Grotto was closed because of rough waters, the ride around the island was a trip we will never forget. Our private guide, Valerio, was wonderful. He was very charming and knowledgeable. He seemed to know everything about Capri and everyone in Capri. We did so much! It was a wonderful experience!
Day 3 was Pompeii and what a magnificent tour that was! Mafalda, our private guide, was more than amazing. She was friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. She went the perfect pace for our large family group of 22 people. She taught us so much about Pompeii that we all forgot how hot it was because we were so captured by the history and the way she conveyed the information. We all loved that she called us "Family" when she wanted to draw our attention to what she had to show us. It was endearing and made everyone feel included as if she was speaking directly to each one of us personally. I watched other guides interact with their groups and felt that not all had the same level of control over their group as Mafalda had with us, which I feel is what made the day so successful. Two hours was the perfect amount of time for the size group we were, and the heat. If the group was smaller, I would have loved to hear and see more.
From Pompeii Gino brought us to Naples. I was very grateful to him for personally driving us around (our tour was to be a walking tour) because, after the morning heat, we (mostly me) were having trouble going to too many places on foot. He was always very attentive and caring.
We very much enjoyed our time in Naples with Francisco, our personal guide. He was very attentive and thorough. He had a lovely walking tour planned and I was grateful that he continuously checked in with us on what we wanted to see and do. He was the perfect person to help end our tour. He instinctively knew just how tired we were (from the sweltering heat) and really allowed us to set the pace. I started getting more and more unwell as the day progressed (I thought it was just the heat) and needed to sit often. Francisco was concerned, very gracious and kind, and numerous times expressed his concern for my well-being.
Thank you so much Mondo Guide for making our trip so full of wonderful experiences and worry free. It was very easy to tell the love and pride each tour guide has for this country and for the places we toured. It was their love and passion that made us all fall in love with each place, just as much as the beautiful scenery itself did. Each guide seemed truly invested in making us see the beauty of the land, the people, and the culture. Not once did any of them try to commercialize the experience by pointing us toward shopping. They focused on the sights and the history of this amazing country. They mentioned (almost as an afterthought) that if we had an interest there would be time for shopping. To me, that's a 10+ Star Service! We left having a love and passion for each place and for Italy as a whole.
Sorry for the long review but I wanted to shar the excellent Mondo Guide experience that we had. On day 1 Giovanni set a very high standard for the quality of experience we should expect (because he was truly amazing) and each guide easily provided the same high standard of service, which I attribute to the love and pride they have for Italy and what we also now share.
I can't thank Mondo Guide and Federica, who expertly coordinated all of our tours, enough for making this a lovely family experience. It is easy to see why Rick Steves recommended you so highly!
I strongly encourage using Mondo Guide to ensure the highest quality experience you can achieve. I have recommended them to several friends and family who also expressed a high level of satisfaction with their travel experience.

I never bother to take the time to post reviews, but I had to make an exception. Our tour with Raffaele as our guide was nothing less than WONDERFUL.. Not only did he expertly navigate the insane traffic of Naples, he just as expertly navigated the crazy, winding roads along the Amlafi coast. And he taught us SO much about everything we were seeing as we went. And to add to that, he treated us like family. His warm, friendly personality really gave us a good feeling for southern Italy and it's people. We are very thankful to Mondo guide and Raffaele for such an amazing experience. Very highly recommended !

We loved this experience SO much! Our driver, Robert was so informative and made the trip so wonderful. We felt we saw so much and would do it again in a heart beat! We were so thankful that we didnt have to plan the logisitics of the trip and it was already handled. Robert was such a wonderful driver as well and even helped other drivers who did not know what they were doing. We felt very safe on those crazy roads!

We had a wonderful day touring the Amalfi Coast with Mondo Tours. Vincenzo was our driver and guide. He was an exceptional host. He was a safe driver and was engaging and knowledgeable. We didn’t have to worry about driving or taking local buses. Pick up and drop off was convenient and easy. The day was well planned. This was the perfect way to visit the Amalfi Coast for our family. We are very grateful to Vincenzo and Mondo Guides for the wonderful experience.

Antonio was a perfect driver! Polite, personable, always on time and pointed out points of interest that we might have missed. We especially love where he brought us to in Ravello for lunch. He is a very calm and relaxed driver, and made us feel like we were in very good hands for the day. I like to think I'm a good driver, but the drive was especially challenging, and we would have missed so much if I was worried about the tiny, curvy roads and traffic. A fabulous experience to a breathtaking area!

We had a wonderful day exploring the Amalfi Coast with Giovanni! Van was spotless and comfortable and we had just enough time to get a taste of each town along the way. The stop at the limoncello factory was a highlight for all! We departed at 9 am and arrived back at the meeting point right at 5 pm. Thank you again!
