Amalfi presents itself to tourists as a fantastic place even if its beaches, except those facing the city, are difficult to use because they can be reached either by sea or through long stairways but it is in any case a unique experience in close contact with nature. . the Holy Master is St. Andrew the Apostle. If you love reading and books go to visit the Paper Museum located in an old water mill. To see in the museum: the ancient machines with which the rags were broken up, paper was made from this important raw material. Another museum that you should visit is that of the Arsenale della Repubblica. But it is impossible to visit, admire and understand Amalfi well without a guide who makes his work a mission. Michelangelo will make the guided walking tour of about 2 hours, along a path of about 1 km that crosses the historic center of the city and its main monuments, unforgettable and unique.

The was interesting and very well explained by our guide but a little superficial due to time constraints as we were late due to heavy traffic. Ravello is well worth the visit but the drive in and out can be a little unnerving for some. The steep and winding cliff side roads can make you feel a little insecure.

After the destruction of the Roman Empire in Italy the Lombards created a dukedom in Campania and Salerno became its capital. In this time Salerno was one of the most important cities of the Mediterrenean sea, Here was founded the first Medical School around the end of the 9th century A. D. We will go to discover the history and the architecture of the medieval time with a visit into the Cathedral of Saint Matthew, a spectacular example of Arab-Norman architecture. This church also contains a beautiful crypt in Baroque style.

Roberto did a virtual tour of Pompeii with Austin Ghost Tours as a lunch time "appetizer" to entice everyone to visit Pompeii when we can travel again. This was a terrific way to enjoy the city while we are sheltering in place! Roberto is great, he is responsive, talks in plain words and kept the "tour" interesting. He is very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. I recommend him highly!

I would like to thank Tour Guide Naples for the excellent service and professional employees. The Capri excursion was great with Ugo that he is very professional in his work and even a very nice guy with people.The Blue Grotto was amazing, I know that is not polite to say, but because of the pandemic we enjoyed every place we went in quiet without lining nowhere even at the Blue Grotto we were alone and my kids could even get the permission for a little swim into the cave !!! I want to thank you for everything and for sure if I will have other trip to Italy, you'll be the only 1 company to work with.

Me and my partner took part in this cooking class, even though we had many notions about cooking, and we loved it. The hosts were super friendly, and they showed us how to prepare proper Italian fresh pasta. They even gave us their original recipes, so that we can replicate them at home. We also tried some exquisite cheese, charcuterie and wines, which were all produced in the farmhouse. I would strongly recommend it!!

This eight/nine-hour trip begins in Sorrento and heads south for the breathtaking drive (lightly narrated by your driver-or narrated by your guide), and an hour or two in each of the three main towns - Positano, Amalfi and Ravello - before returning to Sorrento.

Inclusions: Transport by air-conditioned minivan/minibus, Driver plus a guide for groups of 9-21 people

Exclusions: Food and drinks, Hotel pickup and drop-off

My husband, teenaged daughter, and I took the shared day trip to Carpi from Sorrento. The price was very reasonable and the other passengers were extermely nice. We were pickuped in a old van with no air conditioning and windows that wouldn't roll down. We stopped to pickup others, but fortunately the drive was only a little ways until we reached the port. There was some confusion about payment but off we went. After that biref negative experience, the rest of the day was amazing. Our captain and crew were very accomodating and friendly. We felt safe on our way to Capri. We stopped to snorkel after circling the island. We had fun even though the Blue Grotto was closed due to high tide. Then we had the day to spend on Capri to explore. So much to see and do, but we had just enough time until it was time to meet back at the boat for our return trip. Definitely take this day trip to Capri!

Picked up on time from our hotel. The boat was nice and not too many people on it. Drinks provided throughout the trip and a sandwich, although we chose to eat in Amalfi. The tour assistant was friendly and spoke perfect English. Great way to see the different parts of the Sorrento/Amalfi coast in one day. Good amount of time spent in each location too!

Nico was out tour guide. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable. He was not like previous tour guides that I have had experience with in such that he did not push us towards any particular restaurant or stores. Rather, he gave us general advice and told us which places were not recommended and why. We felt that he had our best interests at heart and not looking for kickbacks like other tour guides.
