What Our Guests Say

We had an amazing time touring Tuscany with Niccoló! He was very knowledgeable about the area and wineries. The van was very comfortable for riding around to the different stops and having a small intimate group made the experience special. The tastings were excellent and we got to try a variety of wines, olive oils, and vinegars. The lunch stop was an awesome pairing of traditional Tuscan food and a lot of wine!

My husband and I had a fantastic day visiting Castello Tricerchi, tasting delicious wines and cooking with Alexandra. Even though I looovvee wine, the cooking and eating really made the day. The kitchen is cozy and has an incredible view of vineyards and the rolling hills of Tuscany. We made 2 kinds of pasta and tiramisu. Alexandra was a great teacher and very fun to spend the afternoon with. We will be sure to practice our new culinary skills once we get home. I urge you to book this very intimate and fun experience.

This was the highlight of our trip to Italy! The cooking class was awesome, the wine was delicious, and the views were amazing. We had a group of 7 and all of us said the food was the best we had while in Italy.

Outstanding tour! We loved everything— great communication, very professional and friendly driver, sparking clean van, gorgeous wineries with delicious and informative tastings. Our first stop was a lovely historic winery, then a stop in beautiful San Gimignano, and finally a lavish lunch and tasting at another lovely winery. Everything was picture perfect. Highly recommend!

Bellissimo! 5 Stunning Amalfi Coast Boat Trips

Posted on 11th Sep 2024. In Culture , European Weekends , Italy , Sponsored

The Amalfi Coast needs no real introduction. This incredible 50km (31 mile) stretch of jagged coastline in Southern Italy’s Campania region is a beautiful necklace of grand villas, citrus groves, and colourful insta-worthy towns. All fringed by the azure waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Exploring the Amfali Coast by Vespa or car and enjoying the shapes and bends of its cliff-hugging roads (the famous Amalfi Drive) is a must. But to get a unique vista of the region’s waterfront towns – such as Positano , Sorrento , and Amalfi – a boat trip has to be on your wishlist. 

We’ve partner with Sorrento Voyage – providers of extraordinary experiences – to share with you 5 wonderful and bespoke Amalfi Coast boat trips to help you make the most of the Dolce Vita glamour of this, one of Italy’s most iconic settings.

Amalfi Coast Boat Trips | No. 1

Private Positano Boat Tour 

7hrs | Customisable | English speaking guide | Welcome drinks and snacks | POA

Positano – playground to the ‘it’ crowd – has come a long way since its humble fishing village roots. From the water, the colourful houses seem to climb the cliff in a pyramid-shaped expanse all the way to the sky.

This private Positano boat tour with Sorrento Voyage takes you to Positano for the day, departing from Sorrento, Naples, and Amalfi. You’ll get plenty of opportunity to swim in turquoise waters (beach towels, snorkel equipment and water toys are included), as well as being shown the best viewpoints for enviable photos by your guide.

Naturally, time to explore Positano is also included – just remember to bring sturdy shoes (and lungs) because the village is steep and only accessible via a seemingly endless series of staircases cut into the cliff. For the return journey, opt for a stop at Nerano – a charming seaside village known for its fresh seafood and the renowned “spaghetto alla Nerano”.

• Fully customisable trip to fit your specific needs and group size
• Hotel pickups, guided tours, flexible itineraries, and special lunch arrangements also available
• Expert skippers with invaluable local tips and advice to make the best of Positano
• Enjoy snorkeling in the vibrant waters around Positano

Capri Speedboat Adventure

The trip sets sail from the port of Marina Grande heading across the gorgeous waters of the Gulf of Naples towards the Blue Grotto, a cave in the side of a mountain that shines a hypnotic blue. You’ll continue along the coast, passing the Faraglioni (majestic rock formations that emerge from the sea), and travelling through the natural arch of the Faraglione di Mezzo.

The boat stops in the bay of Marina Piccola, a picturesque bay surrounded by cliffs, giving you loads of time to swim or sunbathe on the deck before returning you to port at sunset with plenty of memories to share.

The Sorrento Coastline really comes into its own as the sun sets. Bathed in hues of golden orange, the cliffs and towns that dot this stretch are a sight to behold at dusk. To see it all, escape the crowded shores and instead hop aboard your own private sunset speedboat cruise.

On this boat trip, you’ll be looked after by an experienced and dedicated crew and served prosecco and gourmet appetisers as you skirt the Sorrento Peninsula, getting evocative glimpses of the colourful houses and gardens that cling to the cliffs.

As the sun dips, you’ll stop at the beautiful azure-coloured Bay of Ieranto for a secluded swim or simply to raise a toast and capture a photo or two before heading back to the Sorrento port.
