Italy Walking Tours

Our hike leader was the best - knowledgeable and enjoyable to hike with. He shared stories and about the local history and geography. I would recommend this 7 day walking trip on the Amalfi to anyone who enjoys mixing hiking and cultural experiences.

A friend recommended Explore. The Amalfi coast walk was my first trip as a solo traveler with a small group of people I did not know beforehand. My first guided trip. Explore's description was clear and accurate, from the meals we would have to the place we would stay to the distances we would walk. Explore was great about reminding us what we had to do before we went. The whole trip was a joy. Our guide told us there would be no problems, and any problems were his problems, not ours. Everything worked beautifully--the transfer from Naples, the buses to get us to destinations in the morning and to the farm in the evening. The farm where we stayed high above the Amalfi coast was beautiful, with glorious sunrises and sunsets we could see from our balcony. The food the family prepared was delicious, and we enjoyed eating together in the big dining room. The walks were steeply up and down, often on stone paths carved into the hillsides over centuries. Throughout, we could enjoy views of the villages and the sea. Our guide described the natural and human history of the area, pointing out landscape features to us. Though the walks were steep, we had plenty of time to stop in a village for a cool drink, a coffee, or a gelato. A wonderful trip.

Great holiday, with a very friendly bunch from all around the World. The Guide Pete was very informative & good fun and the family who run the farm were all lovely & helpful. Highly recommended.

Great experience! Our guide, Pete was fantastic. He had great detailed information about the area and all the history. It was reassuring to see how much he was concerned about the group's safety. Food was very rustic, plentiful and delicious. Great location to explore the area from.

Great scenic walking with demanding ascents and descents but comfortably within the capability of a walker used to the Fells. The organisation was excellent and everything worked seamlessly. The hotels were all good although the quality of the restaurants in the villages was mixed with good and bad experiences from what was recommended. A great week.

It was cool that we got to see so much of the beautiful country and making new friends along the way. It would have been nice to spend longer in certain spots , but we were pressed for time.
