What is a good website to book train and private driver


We had a driver drive us from Rome to Positano. One of those MB Sprinter Vans. Leaving we had the driver take us to Pompei on the way back.
In Positano we rented a Gaza boat with a captain for two days. It was like 8 hours each day. Day one we went down the coast swimming, visiting different towns, had lunch, toured caves. The second day we did about the same but we went to Capri. The boat with the captain was our favorite part. Shaded boat, padded bow, tons of wine. It was just the four of us and our boat captain Marco for two days.

I would imagine that a private driver from Rome to Positano would be very expensive. If this is not an issue, then by all means do that.

The train from Rome to Naples is pretty cheap, and the private driver from Naples to Positano cost us about $90 before tip, probably a little more now. That worked out fine.

The transferelax.com link I posted above didn't work but it is still there, complete with beautiful pictures of the Amalfi Coast. Just google it.

Highly recommend a boat charter. We did that for a day. We left out of Nerano and went up to Minori and back. Several stops for swimming and lunch in Conca dei Marini. Granted, this was the middle of high season, but Positano and Amalfi were incredibly crowded. We didn't even try to dock at either. It was much better to see them from the water.

It's just me, but I'd have zero desire to take a 7 month old to one of those towns. I understand that the trip is already planned for Greece and then Italy on the back end, but those are just not places that are conducive for children that young, imo.
