Tour Overview

There are few trips which take in such a diverse combination of highlights. From the spectacular Amalfi coast to the fascinating ruins of Pompeii, to the historic centre of Naples and the beautiful island of Capri, this walking trip offers the very best of this captivating region. From your base in Sorrento you visit the island of Capri and the ruins of Herculaneum and Pompeii before a private transfer takes you to the small town of Agerola, perched high above the sea. Surrounded by forests and with sweeping views of the Mediterranean, Agerola is a perfect base to explore the Amalfi Coast on foot. Day walks along a series of ancient footpaths lead you to the stunning bougainvillea covered town of Positano, across rugged hillsides to the beautiful Ferriere Valley and past terraced vineyards to the timeless village of Ravello. Ascend to the crater of Mt Vesuvius, before heading to historic Naples. In between walks, relax to enjoy fine hospitality, a dip in the sea and delicious local cuisine.

Day 1 : Arrive Naples, Transfer To Sorrento

On arrival in Naples, you'll be privately transferred to Sorrento*. After checking in at your hotel, the rest of the day and evening are free to explore and enjoy the town.
Stroll through the café lined Piazza Tasso and the historic centre, a warren of narrow alleys where you'll find hand-crafted marquetry and wares and local gastronomic products, including limoncello, the local aperitivo. The 14th church of San Francesco and its tranquil cloister are worth visiting.
*note a supplement applies for arrivals in Naples after 8pm.

Day 2 : By Hydrofoil To Capri, Explore By Foot (3Hrs), Return To Sorrento

This morning you take the hydrofoil to the island of Capri (approx 30 min). Here you can visit the Matromania caves and the Terrazza di Tragara along a colourful path with villas and gardens full of flowers. There are great views of the Faraglioni (spurs of rock rising from the sea) and Monte Solaro. There is time to enjoy swimming in the sea and to discover the romantic lanes of Capri village. Take an afternoon hydrofoil back to Sorrento.

Day 3 : Explore Pompeii And Herculaneum, Return To Sorrento By Train, Transfer To Agerola

Transfer by train to Pompeii (1hr) and visit the incredible sleeping Roman town at your own pace, enjoying this important and charming historical site. Herculaneum, which was a favourite summer destination for wealthy Romans because of its favourable position by the sea, is only 20 minutes by train from Pompeii, if you want to visit both sites. In the late afternoon, take the train back to Sorrento, collect your luggage then a private transfer will take you to Agerola, at the top of Monti Lattari, the natural border between the Sorrento peninsula and the Amalfi coast. Dinner and overnight in Agerola.

Day 4 : Stunning 'Path Of The Gods' Walk To Positano, Return To Agerola (3Hrs)

Today you will take the trail known as the “Path of the Gods”, the ancient terraced mule path linking Agerola to the village of Positano, a small and charming fishing village. From Positano to Amalfi, take a boat to admire the Amalfi coast from the deck, then transfer by public bus back to Agerola (1h). Dinner and overnight in Agerola.

Day 5 : Walk Through The Ferriere Valley To Ravello Then Amalfi (5Hrs)

This morning you take the public bus (1hr) to Amalfi village to commence your walk. From the village today's hike is along the beautiful Ferriere Valley, the ancient 'Amalfi industrial area', where paper mills and iron-works were situated. Reach Ravello, a resort town set 365m above sea level. Here there is free time to linger, or visit 'Villa Rufolo', about which Boccaccio wrote The Decameron, and the beautiful gardens of 'Villa Cimbrone'. Return to Amalfi via the village of Atrani, then by public bus (1hr) back to Agerola for dinner and overnight.

Day 6 : Transfer To Mt Vesuvius And Walk To The Crater, Continue To Naples (2Hrs)

In the morning, a short transfer will take you to the summit of Mt Vesuvius. It's an easy walk to ascend to the crater at 1280m, where you can enjoy wonderful views across the Bay of Naples. Afterwards, a private transfer will take you to your accommodation in Naples. Italy's third largest city, Naples is one of its oldest, most artistic and most delicious - it's the home of pizza after all!

A wonderful experience - walking mostly on country roads with wonderful scenery and little traffic, great accommodations and of course, delicious food.

We enjoyed our trip with UTracks. Accommodations were great. Trails were beautiful. Lots of stairs, so take your poles if your knees tend to get stressed, and be sure you are in good physical condition to handle them.

This is a great trip for those who love a bit of everything! We had the perfect amount of time to visit the sites, explore the towns, complete the hikes and enjoy the region at our own leisure as well – particularly the food and wine! All the information provided before you go is clear and the walking app is a huge help too. The private transfers from the airport and between the accommodations takes the worry of organising travel. As its self-guided we were also able to have some flexibility with what we did each day which was nice. Can’t recommend it enough, especially if you are on a budget but want to enjoy everything the Amalfi Coast has to offer!

This was a well organized excursion. It provides a good balance between having some aspects (hotels, transfers between locations, suggested hikes with GPX files) taken care for you, while also providing the adventure of simple problem solving (public transit, ferries, trains, and some meals). Be sure to load the GPX file at home prior to beginning the excursion. I recommend the Amalfi Coast excursion. The sights and sounds are worth the many steps.

Great trip….great service from everyone involved. From the communication via utracks, the drivers to the hotel staff, everyone made us very welcome and were always at hand to help us with our travel plans. Highly recommended.

Our Amalfi coast trip was wonderful! UTracks takes care of every detail, arranging personal transport, selecting cozy and charming accommodations, and an engaging itinerary. The trip notes provided ensure that you locate and identify important landmarks on your day hikes. Sorrento and Capri are beautiful! We especially enjoyed the tranquillity and authenticity of Agerola. Path of the Gods is a breathtaking hike with glorious views of the Amalfi Coast from the mountain top you traverse.

Great trip. Very well organised and very enjoyable. I particularly liked our stay in San Lazarro. But don't wear hiking boots in Capri, the paths are good and they make your feet very hot.

An enjoyable trip. Transfers worked very well but we were slightly disappointed in the hotels, with one of them not having air-con or a safe in the room.

L. Ryer(Washington, United States)

This is a good trip to see many of the sights in the Amalfi Coast area. The hikes are borderline moderate/challenging in my opinion. Plenty of up and down; good preparation on hilly terrain is a must.
