Naples Food Trips

I really enjoyed my week on the Amalfi Coast. The scenery is fabulous at every turn, the guide Gaia was excellent and the agriturismo was much more comfortable than I was expecting. I knew it was going to be hot, so my one comment would be to start the walks earlier in the morning when it's cooler. The group gelled really well. The extras such as the cooking class and the pizza demonstration were enjoyed by all. We had enough free time in the lovely villages such as Ravello, Amalfi, Capri, but those that wanted to swim might have wanted longer in Positano. The Path of the Gods walk coincided with the hottest day of the week so it took us longer, therefore not leaving much time in Positano at the end of the day, but it suited both of us.

Matteo was an excellent guide - great energy and company. He really got to know the group and adapted the trekking style to meet all participants. His knowledge of the whole area is incredible and the treks were really informative, fun and exhausting! The accommodation was great - only one element which could be improved which is air conditioning but wasn’t too much of a problem without it due to fans being provided.

This was my second Explore trip and it was a great experience with a group of nice people and a great tour leader. It went like clockwork but without feeling regimented. Staying in Agerola (San Lazzaro) at 700m elevation was a blessing due to the hot weather. It was several degrees cooler overnight up on the plateau. And it was much preferable to staying in overcrowded overtouristed towns on the water.

Beautiful tour with knowledgeable and friendly local guide, Gennaro who made sure we had so much practical and historical information and planned everything meticulously. It was my first trip abroad for several years and was made easy by Explore, the accommodation and Gennaro especially. An authentic experience of the area with varied walks, time for swim in the sea and even a few pretty shops and towns. Memorable trip.

The trip exceeded my expectations. I was fortunate to be in a very cohesive group. Our guide was excellent and shared his knowledge of the area with us openly. Our accommodation was terrific and I enjoyed being away from the touristy Amalfi areas. The itinerary was full and varied. All the organisation required seemed to happen seamlessly for which we were all grateful. Well done Explore.

Gennaro and the Explore team were very friendly and knowledgeable about the Amalfi Coast. Our group was fun and easy to be associated with and we feel we made some new friends in the process. I would recommend this experience to anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of the Amalfi Coast.
