Naples Walking 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.

Our last day exploring Pompeii was unforgettable. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, and the skip-the-line tickets made everything smooth. I was especially moved by the plaster casts – such a powerful reminder of history. Great way to end an amazing tour.

Capri was just breathtaking! The hydrofoil ride was smooth, and we had ample free time in Anacapri to explore. I loved the Augustus Gardens – the view of the Faraglioni rocks was postcard-perfect. Definitely the highlight of the trip for me.

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.

From Sorrento’s Limoncello tasting to strolling through Positano’s charming streets, this day was full of Mediterranean magic. Amalfi was wonderful – the cathedral is stunning and the coastline views are simply unbeatable.
