Itinerary:

Our tour starts in Positano, where you will board the Vespa with me or with an expert driver. After a brief introduction to safety and road rules, we'll be ready to go. The first stop is Praiano, a charming village overlooking the sea and offering a breathtaking view of the coast.

From Praiano, our tour continues towards Furore, a small village located in a narrow cove on the coast, where you can admire the famous Ponte dei Salti. From here, we will continue towards the Grotta dello Smeraldo, a spectacular sea cave illuminated by an emerald green light, where you can admire the beauty of the sea.
After visiting the Emerald Grotto (line permitting), the tour continues to Conca dei Marini, a picturesque village located on a hill that offers a panoramic view of the coast. Here you will have the opportunity to make a short stop to take pictures and admire the landscape.
Afterwards, our Vespa will take us to Amalfi, one of the most suggestive places on the Amalfi coast. Here you can admire the famous Cathedral of Sant'Andrea, which dominates the city, stroll through the picturesque streets of the historic center, enjoy a coffee and a typical dessert of the coast or of the Neapolitan tradition offered by me.
Finally, the tour arrives in Ravello, a small town located in the hills above Amalfi. Here you can visit Villa Rufolo, or Villa Cimbrone, two splendid medieval residences that offer a breathtaking view of the coast (ticket not included)

After exploring Ravello, it will be time to return to Positano with a break for a quick lunch at your discretion.
