Things to do in Amalfi Coast

Reviews Amalfi Coast
“We were at the pick up point 15 minutes early at 8am but the bus was 40 minutes late which meant we were on our feet for almost an hour as there is no seating at the pick up point We were given 3 hours free time as the ferry was not until 2pm Which was to long. The ferry was just a crossing to Salerno no time there just on the bus for the drive back. I know that the weather was not great but took almost 4 hours to get back, did not see the point of the ferry if it was just to meet the coach”
“amalfi coast views and bus travel were excellent time in amalfi town very overcrowded and unnecessary a return to sorrento by boat or bus would have been preferrable the ferry trip from amalfi to salerno was a completely wasted hour to a seaport and then board the bus home with no time in salerno”
“Far too long spent on the coach … in traffic queues for almost an hour and air conditioning not working well The views were amazing and guide was good”
“Firstly the mini bus used was very unsatisfactory. The air conditioning was barely working. There was absolutely no opportunity to walk around Amalfi. We just drove up to the restaurant above it to have lunch. Would have much preferred to have free time in Amalfi it's self. Generally we thought this excursion was appalling value for the money and would not recommend to others.”
