Ravello - The Hidden Part of the Amalfi Coast - Winery in Tramonti area

This is an absolute must if you would like to see all that Naples, Sorrento, and the Amalfi coast have to offer. We were a bit dubious (running out of money) about whether it would be worth the cost, but believe me, it's more than worth it. This is an unforgettable experience that we will cherish forever. We started by being picked up in our private car by Gio, one of the friendliest guys in all of Italy. He not only told us about the scenery, but of course we were interested in Italian politics, history, etc. He knows it all. We quickly became friends with Gio. We went to Pompeii first - a great idea because in the am it was less crowded and less hot. Gio let us pick how much time we would like to spend there. 1.5 hours was perfect for us before we started melting. Then we drove up to the coast, stopping at the most breathtaking sights along the way. Gio pulled over and took pictures for us. Learned all about Italy the whole way. We also hesitated to do the lunch offered by the tour, we figured that per usual we would be taken to some tourist trap and charged a zillion dollars for mediocre food. Not a chance! Gio took us to an amazing local spot (review to follow) where we each got a great bottle of wine, house made and organic limoncello and apple liqueur, and the most amazing and filling meal ever courtsey of Mama. The home made lunch was so tasty, and worth the money (way less than other less excellent meals we had) and you really got to hang with the locals. Not to mention, the view - this is a restaurant at the top of a steep hill, and you can see the entire coast from your seats. Amazing. After lunch, we stopped by Positano and Sorrento, two great towns, on our way back to Naples. We made a great friend, Gio, who we will host and show our town to when he decides to visit the states, and will always remember this tour. Thanks so much to everyone at See Amalfi coast, we can't wait to come and visit again! Arrivederci!

Simple Amazing...Bellissimo We just returned from our incredible trip in Italy and France. There were so many highlights to talk about but I wanted to say how incredibly pleased we were with Lovely Amalfi Coast Tours and most importantly with Giovanni, our driver. He has the most incredibly warm personality, speaks wonderful english (although I spoke italian with him) and has such in depth knowledge of the places we visited. He drove us to Pompeii first where we spent three hours, then off to Positano where he booked us in at a restaurant at the top of the cliff that had the most incredible view!! Our group spent a little too much time at the restaurant drinking wonderful wines and eating a most delicious meal, my favorite of the whole trip...once we were done we went to Beautiful Sorrento where we had a 90 minute opportunity to shop and eat gelato and simple do what we wanted. He was articulate and funny the entire time. His driving skills were amazing albeit we had a few moments going up the mountains where I didnt think we were going to make it (narrow winding roads) but he handeled them so well. We hope that if you use this company you may have the pleasure of having Giovanni as your driver/guide. It will be an incredible experience. I was on a shared tour by the way and met my fellow cruisers on Cruise Critic.com I recommend this site to get info on cruising and more importanly to meet others and share tours such as this one. We were 7 people and got along famously! Grazie Giovanni..ti auguro un bella vita!!!
