Feedback on April itinerary please!
My wife and I are headed to the Amalfi Coast in mid-April. I’d appreciate any thoughts on this itinerary. I am very (very!) open to suggestions. In particular, I would love to hear feedback on whether it is better to split our base between Sorrento and Praiano or just base out of Sorrento or Praiano the entire time. I’d also appreciate any feedback on the hotel and activity choices (including any tour company or tour guide recommendations) We have a fairly healthy budget for the trip. We are middle aged but fairly active.
Day 1: arrive in Naples in evening and hire private driver to take us to Hotel Forum Pompeii.
Day 2: Pompeii private tour in morning and private transport to Praiano. The Hotel Margherita in Praiano is on our list based on Reddit recommendations, but happy to hear why we should stay elsewhere!
Day 3: Positano day trip (travel by bus from Praiano or is there a better option?). Is there a day guided tour or can we just wander around ourselves and see everything?
Day 4: Private tour of Amalfi and Ravello (pick up from hotel in Praiano)
Day 5: Guided Path of the Gods hike in the AM (any tour guide recommendations?) and private transfer to Sorrento in PM. The Grand Hotel Riviera is at the top of our hotel list for Sorrento, but would love to hear other recommendations.
Day 6: Private boat tour to Capri from Sorrento (any recommendations on a tour guide?)
Day 7: Sorrento lemon tour and cooking class (any recommendations for these activities, please?)
Day 8: Travel back to U.S. flying out of Naples.
