Positano, Sorrento & Pizza school
Your family adventure begins as your private English-speaking driver greets you directly dockside at the Port of Naples in a premium luxury vehicle. Setting off early to enjoy the morning light and beat coastal traffic, you will journey along one of the world's most spectacular coastal drives toward Positano, the vertical jewel of the Amalfi Coast.
Spend your morning exploring this colorful hillside paradise at your own pace. Wander together down winding, bougainvillea-framed pedestrian lanes, browse vibrant artisan boutiques famous for handmade leather sandals and breezy resort wear, and take in postcard-perfect vistas over an Italian gelato or espresso at a seaside café along the Spiaggia Grande.
Mid-morning, your driver escorts you around the dramatic cliffs of the peninsula toward Sorrento, arriving around 11:30 AM directly at a welcoming local restaurant for your private pizza masterclass. Stepping into the kitchen, your master pizzaiolo equips everyone—young and old alike—with chef’s aprons and hats to begin the fun. Learn the time-honored secrets of Neapolitan pizza making from scratch: stretching the pillowy dough, sizing it out on specialized prep plates, and topping it with fresh regional ingredients including sweet San Marzano tomato sauce, creamy local mozzarella, hand-torn basil, and extra virgin olive oil. Watch your personalized creations slide into the roaring heat of a traditional wood-fired oven, baking to bubbly, blistered perfection in just minutes before sitting down together to feast on the most rewarding lunch of your trip.
Following lunch, enjoy a relaxed afternoon discovering the charming historic heart of Sorrento. Stroll through the bustling lanes of the old town, admire the lively atmosphere of Piazza Tasso, browse quaint artisan workshops renowned for intricate inlaid woodwork (intarsio), or sample citrus delicacies from local lemon groves. Concluding a delightful day filled with coastal beauty, interactive culinary fun, and cherished family memories, sit back and relax on a smooth, punctual return drive to the Port of Naples, arriving comfortably ahead of your ship’s departure.
