I was born and raised in Positano, on the Amalfi Coast. I will take you with me to discover the path that everyone knows as "Path of Gods": one of the most spectacular views in southern Italy. I will show you, however, that this was much more for my ancestors: one of the pedestrian arteries that gave access to property and people before the construction of the road that connects Sorrento to Vietri. In this walk there is the possibility to meet local farmers and breeders enjoying genuine products. We will talk about the local flora and fauna, the use of wild herbs in the culinary and phytotherapeutic fields. The leitmotiv of the walk will be the complete opening of the senses to the perception of the surrounding environment, the deepening of the traditions and customs of my country.

      Best sweet guide in Positano
      A very awesome personality, knows what his work includes, in our Hiking he told us about how much he likes nature and how much he loves his positano city. He gave us places to eat and taste the delights of southern Italy. I would recommend to all my friends. I had a great time.

    We truly felt like locals after hiking with Saveria. She told us all about the history of the trail and the various plants we saw along the way. This listing truly undersells the experience she provides - we could not recommend Saveria more! Pro tip - let her take you to the Shepards house :)

    Tese di San Giuseppe was the hike we did with “Ladybug”. We could walk up the city steps to the hike which made it convenient from the hotel in Positano. The hike was shorter than Path of Gods and the views from 1650 feet up were amazing!! Saveria is was a wealth of knowledge about the local mythology of Positano as well as medicinal herbs and plants we saw along the way. The streams we passed added to our feel of the local nature! Highly recommend our new Ladybug” friend!!

    What a wonderful hike we had with Saveria, Ladybug Positano! She is intelligent, curious, knowledgeable, and eager to share her experience with us. We really enjoyed the hike as she showed us local plants and told us about local history! We did the out and back hike to the shepherd’s house. I was actually worried that it wouldn’t be enough of a hike, but we were exhausted afterwards! It was great exercise, and we learned a lot. We really loved hiking with Saveria!

    We had a lovely day with ladybug and would highly recommend. We were staying in Sorrento so getting to the starting / ending point was prearranged. We arrived at the start very early so we were a
    Little concerned we were alone but Ladybug arrived early. She was a wealth of knowledge on the plants and the history and was lovely to spend time with. We also visited a Shepherds cottage and had goat cheese,fresh honey and bruschetta. The hike was beautiful and the views were amazing. I would highly recommend.

    We had the BEST time with Saveria. She met us on the bus half way from Positano to the start of the hike. We had so much to talk about which made it extra fun. She was also mindful of not giving us too many history lessons, per my request. :) Saveria showed patience when I needed breaks along the way which was much appreciated. She's beautiful inside and out. ALSO, gave me an excellent massage referral. Literally the BEST massage I have ever received in my life, especially after a long hike. All in all, the highlight of our week in Positano!! Don't hesitate to book a hike with LadyBug Positano.

    We had a terrific time hiking the trail of the gods with Saveria. Her local knowledge and love for her countryside makes this a special on of a kind experience that connects you with the land, it’s people, their culture and history. Stop at the local shepherd to enjoy artisanal goat cheese with wine & bread.

    If you like hiking, this is a must hike. Even if you are not a huge hiker, put it in your bucket list. The hike is moderately strenuous and it is easier if you start from Bomerano as opposed to Nocelle as it is mostly downhill in that direction. The views are stunning but as with every tour in a foreign country the guide makes the difference. Saveria was a gem. She is a local woman who knows the area like the back of her hand. roadside vegetation we would dismiss as weeds were explained to us as to their culinary or medicinal use. The history of the area, the legend of the Gods, ancient building techniques and farmers gardens along the way were explained and visited with an ease and expertise that indicated the guide belongs to these mountains. Towards the end Saveria surprised us with a mini picnic. She took out home made bruschetta bread as it was made in the olden times. A recipe passed down from her grandmother. The stone hard bread was soaked in water, broken up into pieces and then soaked again in home made olive oil before we consumed it with cheese and tomatoes. A home made liqueur topped it off. Delicious and a first for us on a guided tour. I must add that our group was small. 5 people and two dogs. I'm not sure the same treat can be offered to larger groups.

    Most importantly, we were not rushed through the path. We took our time taking pictures and enjoying the views and "Ladybug" was very accommodating. I highly recommend this hike especially with Saveria.

    Saveria is a local and a wealth of knowledge about the area. She guided me up and down the path while explaining the history and mythology of the area. A really good resource and a genuinely nice person.

    My husband and I had the opportunity to hike the Path of the Gods on a small group tour with Saveria Fiore (Ladybug Positano) while staying in Praiano during our honeymoon. Not only were the views of the hike amazing, but Saveria made the day so enjoyable with her fun personality and witty nature lessons. This was one of our favorite days on the Amalfi Coast. 10/10 would recommend if you are visiting the area.

    Divine intervention connected us with Saveria a/k/a Ladybug, the evening before our intended hike on the Path of the Gods and we were so fortunate that she was available for our late October day trip. We spent five days on the Amalfi Coast and this was, hands down, the highlight. Once you figure out where it starts, anyone can walk the Path, but without the incredibly knowledgeable Saveria, we would not have learned the legends, the history, the fauna (several samples of which Saveria picked and we tasted), the short-cuts, the extended paths and in between, the history of Positano where Saveria was born and where she still lives. We will never forget the lunch Saveria made for us outside a deserted farm house with a view of the terraced gardens of Praiano.

    If you would want to take a tour of the Vatican with the Pope, then surely, you wouldn't settle for anyone other than the beautiful Saveria, Goddess of the Path, to tour you around the most beautiful place on Earth.
