“We took an 4 person guided tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and spoke great English. He made sure we never waited for anything. He was respectful of others but didn’t allow anyone to push us. He was entertaining but factual. I’m pretty sure his name was spelled Etaly! He gets my highest rating!!”
Half-day cooking class in Agerola on the Amalfi Coast, making tiramisù, fresh mozzarella, and pasta with wine and limoncello.
“We loved how hands on they were. Perfect for beginners. And the food was amazing. All of us were so satisfied at the end of the day. Only problem was the trip there. It’s an hour away from Positano, and there’s a lot of hair pin turns on the way. Some ppl in our party got sick. But it was ultimately totally worth it.”
Half-day Amalfi Coast boat tour from Positano with snorkeling and swims, UNESCO Fiordo di Furore views, plus drinks, fruit, and Prosecco.
“We loved the half day tour! We got off to swim at two spots and did not feel rushed at all. Our tour guide was fabulous, didn’t make us feel rushed and spoke with us about the sites along the way. I would definitely recommend, a half day was plenty of time to see the coast, explore and swim a bit, which left us the afternoon to walk around Positano.”
Private half-day tour of Pompeii and Herculaneum with skip-the-line entry, transfers, and an expert guide to see Roman ruins in 4 hours.
“We had an excellent private tour of both Pompeii and Herculaneum with our guide, Carla. We are especially grateful that she was patient enough to wait for us, as we were 45 minutes late due to a problem with the local train from Sorrento (apparently this is quite common and the express train is a better option). Our only issue with the tour was that it was a bit pricey, but it did offer the flexibility to start later on the day then most of the other tours.”
