Naples Tours and Trips

I had an amazing holiday.I spent time with a great bunch of people ,so many laughs…The food was excellent so much so I gained 5 pounds despite all the hiking. The walks were amazing , a couple for me were a bit harder than leisurely,but I loved them. My fave had to be Walk of the Gods where we were lucky to see Mountain goats and a couple of dogs herding them. And as for our guide Matteo,10/10 ,such a lovely,knowledgeable, young man so passionate about the area in which he grew up. He is a real asset to Explore…Probably one of my best holidays ever .

Had a lovely experience hiking around the Amalfi coast with our Explore Group. Genarro the group guide was really informative throughout the hikes and the agritursimo where we stayed had a very family feel to it, allowing our group to bond easily in a relaxed environment. It might be nice to have some more opportunities for leisure time or relaxing on the beach as it was’ so hot! Overall had a lovely memorable experience and would recommend.

A fantastic tour walking the Amalfi coast with tour leader Gennaro and a lovely group of fellow hikers from various countries. A jam packed itinerary to ensure we were able to make the most of our week hiking and exploring the spectacular Amalfi coast. Gennaro really enhanced our experience with his exceptional knowledge of the area and passion for exploring this part of his country. The family run Agriturismo was rustic style accommodation providing an authentic experience with a lovely family serving up beautiful meals each day. On the free day, the optional day trip to Pompeii and Herculaneum is definitely worth doing. I found the hiking easily manageable but I am fit and exercise regularly. In the trip notes it states leisurely pace, which is accurate, however you still need to be able to manage walking up and down many stairs, including some rough terrain, and in warm conditions. Therefore a reasonable level of fitness is recommended if you are thinking about completing this trip. Hiking poles help to protect your knees especially on the downhill sections, so worth bringing along. I highly recommend this trip, the best way to see all of the spectacular views that the Amalfi coast offers, with an extra bonus if you get Gennarro as your guide!

Loved this tour. A bit of the regular tourist route in Italy, yet still with all the flavours of Italy. Our tour leader Fabio was great, as was Paulo our driver. Loved the small group and the smaller bus. Much of the accommodation was unique to the areas visited.

Amalfi Coast Walking Hotel Risorgimento was amazing. The hotel Risorgimento was comfortable and charming. The staff was so friendly and welcoming and made sure that as a vegan I had plenty of delicious dishes to eat. Our leader Gennaro was absolutely excellent. He was so knowledgeable about the area and its history, being local to the area himself. He was patient and encouraging at all times. Explained every detail to us and made sure we didn’t need anything. The hikes were a bit challenging for me but the rewards were worth it…fabulous views, both of nature and picturesque towns. I would highly recommend this trip.

This was the first trip for my husband and me with Explore, or any organised tour group, and we really enjoyed it. Explore were recommended to us by a friend and we’re looking forward to using them again. The countryside, towns and villages where we walked and visited were lovely and the background provided by our excellent guide Gennaro added loads of interest. The itinerary was well paced and impressively varied. I struggled a bit with the sheer number of steps on the day we visited Capri (this walk was graded as leisurely!) and was concerned that later walks (graded as more challenging) would be beyond me. In the event they were fine - I found them slightly easier. We liked the hotel with its great view from our window and from the terrace. Our room had a shower only though I think some may have had a bath. The staff were unfailingly helpful and I especially appreciated the efforts they made to accommodate my unfondness for seafood. Our expert guide Gennaro was key to the success of the holiday. He looked after us with great care and thoughtfulness and had a concern for his group that went beyond professionalism. His enthusiasm and wealth of knowledge were impressive and he had clearly planned his talks carefully so that they would be interesting and not too long, easy to grasp, and would build on what he’d told us previously. A great holiday for anyone who enjoys walking.
