If you’re dreaming of capturing the perfect shot of Positano’s iconic cliffs and colorful architecture, a private guided tour in a vintage Fiat 500 might just be the experience you’re looking for. While we haven’t taken this tour ourselves, the concept immediately sounds like a charming blend of nostalgia, personalized exploration, and picture-perfect moments.
What we love about this experience is how it combines the allure of a classic Italian car with the chance to see some of the Amalfi Coast’s most beautiful spots with a dedicated guide. Plus, the fact that it’s a private tour means you’re not fighting the crowds or rushing through highlights.
That said, one thing to keep in mind is the price: at $481.54 for up to three people, this isn’t your budget option. It’s a more curated, exclusive experience, which might be worth it if you’re after intimate photos and personalized service.
This tour seems best suited for travelers who want a relaxed, stylish way to photograph Positano and are happy to splurge a little for a unique experience in a classic car. If you’re into photography, vintage vibes, or simply want to see the Amalfi Coast in a different way, this could be a memorable addition to your trip.

What the Tour Offers
This private photography tour in Positano is designed to give you a personalized glimpse of the Amalfi coast’s most photogenic spots, all from the driver’s seat of a classic Italian car. The experience begins with a pickup from your accommodation, which means you won’t have to worry about navigating or finding meeting points—your guide takes care of that.
The main highlight is the ride itself: cruising along the coast in a vintage Fiat 500, a car that’s almost a symbol of Italy’s retro charm. The guide, acting as both driver and companion, will show you the most beautiful viewpoints, particularly in Positano, during a 2.5-hour window.
The itinerary is simple but effective. The first stop is Positano, where you’ll have ample time to take photos of the steep, colorful streets, and iconic facades that make the town so photogenic. The early morning option, as one reviewer noted, is especially popular for avoiding crowds and capturing those tranquil, less-busy views.
Since admission is free, the real value is in the experience and the views. We imagine that the experience of being driven in this vintage car along the scenic coast, with an expert guiding the route, makes for some fantastic photo opportunities—think winding roads, panoramic vistas, and charming alleyways.
