Amalfi Coast Vespa tour prices, and what each one covers
The four Vespa tours on this site run from ~$319 to ~$421 per person. The cheapest is a three-hour ride at sunset, the dearest a full private day with a choice of driver or self-drive. Below, all four sit in one table, followed by the costs that still turn up on the day.
Four Vespa tours in one table
The table gives the regular "from" price per person on each tour's main listing, which is Viator for all four. Every tour uses the same coast road, yet who holds the handlebars and how long you stay out change the bill.
| Tour | From | Length | Who drives | Start | Food included | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NapolinVespa, private day (our pick) | ~$421 | 6.5 h (GetYourGuide: 6–8 h) | A driver, or you on the self-drive option | Sorrento, Positano or Naples | Limoncello and lemon cake tasting | 5.0 from 200+ (Viator) |
| Federico, private day with a local | ~$410 | 5–7 h | An experienced driver; you only on request | Hotel pickup, Positano on Viator | Espresso; limoncello and gelato on GetYourGuide | 5.0 from 200+ (Viator) |
| Amalfi Moto Rent, guided convoy | ~$364 | 6–8 h (GetYourGuide: 6.5 h) | You, behind the guide (a driver can be booked) | Amalfi | None, free time for lunch | 5.0 from 100+ (Viator) |
| Federico, sunset ride | ~$319 | 3 h | A driver | Sorrento or Positano | Neapolitan espresso | 5.0 from 25 (Viator) |
The four fares sit closer together than the lengths suggest. Per hour, the sunset ride is the dearest by a wide margin, while the two long private days give you the most road for the money.
The same Vespa day on two sites
All four tours are sold on both GetYourGuide and Viator, and the figures rarely match. The same trip can cost noticeably different amounts on the two sites, so open both for your date before you pay.
NapolinVespa shows the clearest gap. Viator lists ~$421, while its GetYourGuide "from" price is lower because it quotes per person for the self-drive option, where a couple shares one Vespa. Compare the option you want, not the headline figure.
Federico's full day looks far cheaper on GetYourGuide, but that listing opens with shorter options from 1.5 hours. Pick the full day there and the price climbs. Amalfi Moto Rent and the sunset ride sit almost level on both sites.
What the top fare pays for
NapolinVespa's private day at ~$421 is the most expensive tour here and our pick. On Viator it scores 5.0 across 200+ reviews, and GetYourGuide shows 4.9 from 100+. The operator calls itself the first and only company authorized for Vespa tours between Naples and the Amalfi Coast.
The fare covers a private authorized guide, the Vespa, fuel and third-party insurance. You also get a helmet with a disposable liner and a tasting of limoncello with delizia al limone, a soft lemon cake, at a typical café.
Stops include panoramic terraces, Positano, Amalfi, Ravello and the Furore fjord, with time for local shops. You choose between a driver, with you on the back, or driving yourself. Our guide to driving or riding pillion weighs those two options.
The private day we would book
NapolinVespa with a driver or on the self-drive option, with Naples among its starting points. Carry euros for entry tickets and lunch.
Federico's full day and his sunset ride
Federico's full day at ~$410 is the second dearest, sold under the name Your Buddy On The Coast. An experienced driver takes you, and the listing says Federico grew up on this coast. Viator gives it 5.0 from 200+ reviews.
The GetYourGuide version spells out more. It lists fuel, third-party insurance, hotel pickup and drop-off, a Neapolitan espresso, a limoncello tasting in Meta and a gelato. Lunch and tips are on you, and its 5.0 there comes from 9 reviews, a small sample.
His three-hour sunset ride at ~$319 is the lowest fare on the site, though it buys the fewest stops. It fits a day already spent on a boat or at Pompeii, as our sunset ride or full day guide explains.
Amalfi Moto Rent in the middle
Amalfi Moto Rent's guided tour at ~$364 costs less than both private full days, and you do the riding. Each rider gets a brand-new automatic Vespa and follows the guide from Amalfi toward Ravello and Positano.
Fuel and parking are in the price, and the GetYourGuide listing adds full insurance cover. Stops include the Emerald Grotto, a ceramic factory, a photo stop above the Furore fjord and walks in Ravello and Positano.
Lunch is not included, though the guide leaves free time at a recommended restaurant. If you have never ridden a scooter, the company can supply a driver when you ask in advance.
What you pay on top
None of the four fares covers the whole day. Entry tickets are charged in euros on the spot, and the listings name them.
- NapolinVespa lists the Emerald Grotto at €10, Amalfi Cathedral at €3 and Villa Rufolo at €8
- Federico's full day leaves out Villa Rufolo or Villa Cimbrone, about €10
- Amalfi Moto Rent leaves out Villa Rufolo, Villa Cimbrone and the Emerald Grotto, about €10 each
- The sunset ride leaves out drinks and monument tickets
Food and drink beyond the tastings are extra on NapolinVespa and Federico's day, and Amalfi Moto Rent leaves lunch to you. A sit-down meal on the coast adds a fair amount, so see our guide to limoncello and lunch stops before you budget.
Tips are not included on NapolinVespa or Federico's day. On NapolinVespa's self-drive option, staff also take a damage deposit on a credit card, so bring a card with room on it.
Group size changes the figure
These tours are private, and Viator says the price per person depends on how many travel together. Change the number of travelers on the listing and watch the figure move before you compare one tour with another.
A couple on NapolinVespa's self-drive option shares one Vespa, which is why that option starts lower. On the driver option, each guest gets a Vespa and a driver of their own.
A rental for far less
Renting costs a fraction of any tour. Testa Rent in Sorrento starts at ~$63 per scooter, and an Amalfi rental office with an itinerary asks ~$134 for a group of up to two. You find your own way and your own parking, as our rental or tour guide sets out.
Cancelling and booking ahead
The listings we read allow free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start. Check the line on your chosen option and date, since terms can differ between the two sites.
Summer dates fill first, private days above all. Read when to ride the coast before you fix a date, and book once your hotel is set, so the pickup is clear. Where the tours start covers each pickup.
