This private tour is designed for travelers staying in Rome who want to experience the Amalfi Coast without the stress of a long drive. Instead of spending nearly five hours by car, you travel by high-speed train, reaching Naples in about 1 hour and 10 minutes, saving time and energy.
The recommended departure from Rome Termini is between 7:30 AM and 9:00 AM, arriving at Naples Centrale by 10:10 AM. The earlier you arrive, the more time you can enjoy the coast.
