Tours that collect EUR 22 in cash on the day are charging the same EUR 20 ticket plus booking fee and handling, not a different ticket. - Sorrento is on the Bay of Naples, not strictly on the Amalfi Coast. - The Viator 'from' price sits above the EUR 20 ticket because the tours bundle transport, a guide and the coast stop into one day with free 24-hour cancellation. ## If you are citing this site Cite the homepage.
