About the operator
- Jekaterina D00BreathtakingAmazing experience, scenic views, friendly guide. Really enjoyed the hike! Thank you very much. Breathtaking scenery and very delicious lunch!
- laurencD3256OV00A wonderfully fun time to spend while in SorrentoLuigi & Laura were wonderful! Since it was November, we were with a small group which was great! Luigi is dynamic & fun. We learned a lot on how to improve our pizza making. So much that when we got home, my husband immediately ordered the correct flour & yeast! This is a great time to spend while in Sorrento!
- Sandra B00Highlight of my trip to ItalyWe loved having the opportunity to hike along the mountainside to experience the magnificent views of the Amalfi coastline. It was a beautiful day for a hike and we met very nice people in the group. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job managing a larger group than expected.
- waded68800A great way to visit the Island of Capri!My wife and I went for our 25th Anniversary and had a wonderful experience! Our guide Antonio and the captain did such a good job making us feel special during our time with them! This is a great way to see the island of Capri and so much more and a fun boat ride along the Mediterranean!
- TraceyF100200Fab hikeWe had a fab time and our guide was very knowledgeable about so much even when heading to the start point. We did a loop, stoped off at a farmers hut on the side of a mountain. He provided us with a small meal, water and some local wine. The views were spectacular and if you are thinking of doing it I don’t feel you would be disappointed. In some areas of the path it was quite tricky and steep so a pole was well used. I would rate this walk as moderate difficulty in places. The pick up point was easy to find and our guide was there early to check people in. All in all a good trip
- roklaw00Outstanding- fantasticAn incredible hike and incredible guide -grazzi Nino - spectacular breathtaking views and an overall fantastic time from start to finish - a real treat and highlight of our trip
- tjoOcala00Best way to hike The Path of the GodsOur guide was kind and very informative. The trip was run professionally. The stop on the way back for wine and snacks was delightful. I was very hesitant to hike with a group, but this was terrific. It made navigating the transport to the trail so easy. Highly recommend.
- P3783WOderekm00PEPE AND ANTONIO are the best.The You Know trip to Capri was amazing with special thanks to Pepe and Antonio who made the journey amazing. They were very helpful, extremely friendly throughout the day and provided great recommendations for the Capri stop. This trip made our vacation so far and want to thank the entire team. The ladies at the counter at Piano Di Sorrento were very easy to deal with as well. PEPE AND ANTONIO are the best. 🇮🇹🇺🇸🇮🇹🇺🇸 THANK YOU
- Melanie S00Wonder couple experiencePickup was on time and in an air conditioned vehicle. We met other couples and had great conversation. The class started with us sitting down in the outside area for caprese salad and olive oils to try with pita bread. We had a small glass of red wine. The pizza class included history and many jokes while we went through the steps. Super easy and fun way to bond. Instructor had a great personality. You finish up the class by going inside and stretching out the dough, picking your toppings & finally them cooking your personal pizza (few minutes!) we sat down to eat and received bottles of white wine to accompany our lunch. They provide tiramisu dessert too! Everything tasted so good. If you do the lunch class, don’t eat too much for breakfast. The pizza is filling & we wish we had room to eat more. You can get it in a to-go box.
- Neil B00Wonderful way to experience Amalfi and Positano!This would easily have been 5 across the board except for the driver and two crew members allowing one guest to smoke on board, over consume alcohol and be both obnoxious and abusive to other guests. The driver finally got the guest to tone down his behavior to a tolerable but still offensive level. Luckily we interfaced very little with the guest while on the ship and in the ports and we were able to very much enjoy the trip. This is clearly a superior way to experience Amalfi and Positano.
- Romemarcia00Amalfi coast boat tour Perfecto DayAmalfi coast boat tour was amazing. Gianmario was a great host, Lounging on the comfortable padded deck was a terrific way to see the beautiful coast line. Plenty of time to explore, eat and shop in Amalfi and Positano. Highly recommend.
- R1842ONcraigf00Every day I kiss my Johnny!The Captain Johnny, and his first mate Mary were spectacular. Mary was extremely accommodating to everyone on the boat, and made sure we were informed of every detail that we needed to know to have a perfect trip to Capri. The team on land led by Giovanni was also outstanding. My wife and I had a fantastic day on this cruise and we recommend highly.
- Hegreen13100Fantastic worthwhile experienceThis tour makes for a long but worthwhile day. The meeting point is easy to find and the guides put you on to a hired bus that takes you up to Bomerano and the start of the hike. Depending on traffic this journey is around 60-90 minutes long. The bus driver does not give out any information about the area however as the bus is booked either the morning of or the day before the tour then that’s expected. The only reason I mention this is because I’d read other reviews complaining about the bus driver not giving out information on the drive. The hike itself is amazing! Well worth the effort expended and the guides, Antonio and Nino are incredible. Each takes a group of up to 15 each and follow the same trail that is a loop of the path starting and ending at Bomerano. You get to see Positano but don’t venture down to the town as the path is incredibly steep and difficult. I wouldn’t call the hike an “easy” hike, there are parts where the steps were taller than my knees and i was very glad to have been provided with a stick to help. Nino and Antonio are very safety conscious and told people at the beginning if they were wearing the wrong sort of shoes for the terrain. Luckily there’s a shop in Bomerano that hires out hiking gear, including shoes for people to wear on the track. I was very glad of my hiking shoes as they provided me with better grip than those wearing sneakers or runners on the loose stones and I didn’t slip once. By the end of the hike we were all covered in sweat but we all agreed that the experience was worth being sticky and stinky.
- Bill B00Great time with LuigiWhat a great time. Luigi is the master pizza maker and master teacher. Learned so much and will definitely be making pizzas at home.
- Luisa R00If you love spectacular views this is a must do!This was an incredible few hours. The views are breathtaking and the guides are so informative. Heading up to the shepherd’s old world home gives you a feel of days gone by and our little meal of fresh produce was delicious. We had a little entertainment before heading back.

The tour guide, Gus took a group on a boat tour that was not planned, it was a friend of his. We wanted to see St. Andrews Duomo and chose to stay and tour the Duomo. We were told to be at the statue in front of the Duomo at 1:00 pm. we were there at 12:50 and waited until 1:25 and no one came. we grabbed a bite to eat and walked up the hill in the town. We were also told to meet at 3:00 pm, behind that statue where the bus dropped us off. We were there at 2:30 and waited until 3:20 pm and not one showed up. We thus realized the tour bus had abandoned us! We are from the USA and didn't appreciate being left. Finally, after composing ourselves, we realized we needed to catch a bus back to Sorrento. As we approached the ticket stand, we realized we could take the last boat ride back to Sorrento at 4:35. We were able to get tickets and get on the boat. It was our 26th Wedding Anniversary and we had dinner reservations at 7:00 pm at the hotel we were staying in the Imperial Hotel Tramontano. We got to our hotel at t6:45 pm and had 10 minutes to get changed and refreshed. We did make it to dinner on time. We had to pay another $E17.50 each for tickets to get back to Sorrento, We would appreciate refund of our tickets and reimbursement of the $E35.00 for the boat ride. This tour left a horrible impression of your service,

Before arriving in Sorrento our plan was to use public buses to tour the Amalfi coast. However on the first morning we went to get the bus we discovered long queues and a bit of a chaotic atmosphere. Using trip advisor we instead decided on a coach tour, which we booked online. Tour turned out to be one the best decisions we made. Tour guide was very informative. Tour stuck to the timetable, covered all the main attractions on the Amalfi coast and was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Definitely value for money.

Fantastic tour! Definitely would recommend it! Great value for money. Professional service, everything was arranged on a timely manner .Tour guide Rosella has a great knowledge and sense of humour! She made the trip very enjoyable and in a short space of time we were able to see Positano, Amalfi and Ravello towns. Driver Alberto was very experienced and we felt safe on not so safe Italian roads :-) We enjoyed every minute of the tour and couldn’t recommend it highly enough! Thank you Rosella and Alberto! We will be back again! Marzena and Maria

We had a brilliant day out with our tour guide Diego - he actually made the day what it was I think, joking and telling us funny stories throughout the tour.
Stopped a few times, once just out of Positano where we could take photos and purchase fruit from a van there.
In Amalfi where we was offered a boat ride seeing the Amalfi Coast from the sea for 12 Euros each extra.
Another stop at a ceramics shop.
A stop for lunch which was quite good and as much wine as you could drink for 15 Euros. Last stop to a tiny town on the hill - Ravello.
Try to get a seat on the right side of the coach for best views.

We have just returned from the Amalfi coast drive, it's 6pm and we picked up the coach at 8am so it really is a full day.
The guide, Diego was very funny and knowledgable and kept us entertained throughout the journey. He made sure everyone was happy and ensured we didn't get lost! We stopped on Positano, Amalfi then he took us for lunch in the hills which was 3 courses plus wine for only €15 each. Diego then played the piano for us and had some interesting stories to tell. We then spent time in Ravello before the trip back. Coach lovely and air conditioned and expertly driven by Cesar, the return journey took us into the mountains with stunning views.
Don't be put off by the lower price, we had an amazing day, thanks to Diego and Cesar.

Booked on line before we left uk. Easy process and half the price of holiday companies tour.
Picked up near hotel lovely air conditioned coach. Great skilled driver and guide , Francesco very knowledgeable and helpful.
Adequate time in the beautiful Positano, then on to Amalfi, took the boat for a 45 min excursion along the coastline, well worth the extra 12 euros. Last stop Ravello, again loads of time for a wander and gelato. All in all excellent value for money, would highly recommend.

My husband and I did the Amalfi Drive FD tour with AVI travel on Wed 14th August. Our Tour guide was Grazia, who was absolutely lovely, she made the day such a joy. Our driver was also great, very talented at negotiating all the tight bends and spaces.
The bus picked us up from near our hotel in Sant 'Agnello about 8.10am. We then picked up another couple at the top of Sorrento and we were on our way.
The first stop was a little nook overlooking the Gulf of Salerno in the Tyrrhenian sea. After a drive through Positano, we stopped again to get photos of Positano, amazing town. We then arrived at Amalfi a short time later. We took the option of the bout tour around the coast, €12 for about 40mins, this was well worth it, amazing views. We than had lunch is a place that Grazia recommended, can't remember the name but the owner was Mario. Great pasta and pizza here. We then had a short wander around the square Piazza del Duomo and the Amalfi cathedral, overall about 2.5hrs in Amalfi.
From here we went to Ravello, the square here was very cute and we paid the €7 to look around Villa Rufolo, which was beautiful, had just over an hour here.
On the way back we stopped off for limoncello tasting, which was nice but very expensive for coffee and a canoli.
All in all a fabulous day, great guide in Grazia, cannot recommend this lovely lady enough, great driver and great food. Felt like we packed a lot in the day, so we'll worth the money. Booked through trip advisor as much more expensive for the same tour at other places.

Jasus this trip was far from middlin. Not too early of a start which suited me as id a batter of pints below in Sorrento the night before, so I had. Tour guide was very good so she was no bother to her. If youre lookin for a locka daycent photos this is the tour for you, ya huer. There was 5 or 6 stops for photos,pints or a splash. The driver was very good considering the standard of drivers in Sorrento. Theyre a n'awful shower of huers. I would highly recommend this trip if your lookin to dry out or in a hape.

We booked this tour through Shore Excursions - a fantastic tour booking agency. We used them three times on our cruise from Singapore to Southampton and each time the tour group that provided the excursion was hands down the best experiences we have had with tour companies. Shore excursion booked our tour with 'touringitaly,org' a relatively new company owned and operated by Roberto D'Alessandro. it was supposed to be small group - we were the only two. A lot of tour agencies would cancel at that point - a lot of tour companies would cut short the tour. We were treated to a full day tour 9-5 as agreed.
I am a photo enthusiast with high end camera equipment - Roberto our driver was extremely accommodating stopping wherever he could squeeze in along treacherous coastline of Amalfi for photo stops - all the amazing views and photos are only because of Roberto's great driving and daring stops. He was extremely knowledgeable and passed on his commentary in dialogue that was pleasant unhurried and light. For lunch Roberto took us to a charming restaurant tucked away along the route and known only to locals. He was considerate to not join us but gave us our free time together at a table by the window. 19 euros for incredible pizza spaghetti wine and huge bread basket and coffee. Before lunch he dropped us in the quaint coastal town of Positano for two hours of free time. A delightful Italian town that gave us all the charm of European community perched high above the Mediterranean.

Rossella, our very experienced, friendly, and knowledgeable guide, and Michael, our extremely friendly, talented, and patient driver, provided a wonderful 8 am-3 pm day up and down the beautiful Amalfi Coast in a comfortable Mercedes minivan. As it’s pre-season, we only had 3 couples on board, and we were well informed along the way, had plenty of photo ops, and enjoyed a few hours strolling on our own in both Amalfi and Ravello. Choppy seas precluded the additional boat ride to see the far coastline up close. The roads are treaturously narrow, and only the bravest people should be behind the wheel around these parts. We had the chance to witness just that and were constantly amazed.
