Travelers often seek a journey that combines comfort, culture, and culinary delights, and this Naples to Amalfi tour delivers just that. It’s not simply about getting from point A to B but about turning that transit into an unforgettable experience packed with local flavors, stunning vistas, and hands-on fun. Whether you’re a foodie eager to learn authentic recipes or someone craving a scenic drive with a memorable stop, this tour has something special to offer.
What we love most about this experience is the private transfer with a stop at Agerola, which keeps it intimate and flexible. The cooking class itself, where you get to make fresh pasta, mozzarella, and tiramisu alongside local farmers, offers an authentic taste of Italy’s culinary traditions. The stunning views of the Amalfi Coast from the farm and the relaxed pace make it a true highlight.

The Transfer: More Than Just a Ride
Starting with hotel pickup, the tour ensures you’re comfortably collected from your accommodation, whether it’s a hotel, private residence, train station, port, or airport. The climate-controlled vehicle guarantees a pleasant ride, especially important during warmer months or in peak season. We appreciate the flexibility here—no need to worry about navigating or stressing over logistics.
The drive from Naples to Amalfi is renowned for its scenic beauty, and with a stop at Agerola, travelers get a glimpse of the lush landscapes and rolling hills that define the area. Reviews mention that the views are truly spectacular, making it a worthwhile break in the journey.
The Farm Visit: A Taste of Local Life
Once in Agerola, the group visits a farm where authentic Italian products are made. The farm owners warmly invite guests to participate in the culinary process, which is particularly valued by those craving genuine local experiences. Visitors have the chance to test fresh mozzarella, which is often described as creamy and flavorful—different from store-bought versions. The farm visit also offers stunning vistas, providing the perfect backdrop for photos and quiet contemplation.
Guests often comment on the personal touch the farm owners bring, making participants feel like part of the family. The opportunity to explore the farm’s surroundings—just a five-minute walk to an especially beautiful viewpoint—adds a layer of scenic beauty that complements the culinary fun.
The Cooking Class: Making Italy Come Alive
The core of the experience is the hands-on cooking class. Participants typically learn to make tagliatelle pasta from scratch—an activity that is both fun and rewarding. After the pasta, the group moves on to making mozzarella. Attendees get to spin and cut the cheese themselves, often described as a genuinely satisfying process that connects you directly with Italy’s food traditions.
The farmers guide the process, sharing their expertise and stories, which enhances the authenticity. The tiramisu segment rounds out the class, with participants creating this beloved dessert from scratch. The final products are cooked and enjoyed together, giving everyone a true sense of accomplishment.
A reviewer mentions that the whole class lasts three hours, and if there’s extra time, visitors can also enjoy a walk around the farm or to the nearby viewpoint. This flexibility is appreciated by those wanting a leisurely pace.
