12 stars out of a possible, 10 - Twelve out of ten stars. Why 12 out of 10? Small almost miracles beginning with breaking the all-time record for quick responses. To find out more, read the looonnng narrative before. To sum up though, safe, dependable, honest, knowledgeable, flexible, cheerful, and entertaining/charming. March 30 my wife and I checked out of Relais Castrum Boccea and took the complimentary shuttle to Battistini with 2 young (compared to us) couples headed to Rome for the day. We were on our way to Naples for the first time via the "Red Train.* Our two Halfaday duffles could not hold all of the parcels we had accumulated in the first month of our 4 month pilgrimage to several Schengen countries and the British Isles. We were so pitious in appearance (and aged - we have 163 years between us) that our temporary companions took pity on us and grabbed may of our parcels to help us to the subway to Rome Termini (kindly sharing their expertise in ticketing, showing us the way to the platform, and riding with us to make sure we made it). We hoped to find somewhere at Rome Termini a suitcase large enough to absorb our excess packages and reduce our load to (only) 3 bags. Luckily after our saviors left is, we found a shop that had two 29" hardshells for $90 euro each (1 was not enough.) Our packages filled them up and we made our way to the platform for our train. My original plan was to connect with a local train from Napoli Centrale to Vico Equense and then a local bus to our B&B, Villa Denise. Loading the 4 bags onto the Red Train again required the help of kind strangers. Most of the way to Napoli I reviewed my plan to catch the local train from Garibaldi upstairs from the Red Train platform. About 10 minutes from Napoli Centrale I belatedly concluded my plan was insane under the circumstances and jumped on Google to search for a rental car. In a couple of minutes it was clear it was similarly insane to search for a rental on such short notice, and I switched to searching for a car-for-hire in desperation knowing that was almost equally insane. Amalfi Tours popped up at the top of the search offering contacts by email and phone. I called but got a busy signal so I emailed requesting transport to Villa Denise as the Red Train was slowing into the station. Valeriio called me a minute later and immediately promise to have a driver, Carlo, pick us up at the station (with a van large enough for our Paris Hilton-sized luggage collection) in less than a half hour. Miraculously Carlo did meet us at the appointed time and place and wished us to Villa Denise, while he pointed out Vesuvius and other points of interest. Thus began a perfect association with Amalfi Tours that made our stay in Naples a complete success. Impressed with Carlo, we confidently scheduled a one day tour of Pompeii, Positano, and Sorrento for Monday, after a day of rest-recovery (which Valerio later accommodatingly rescheduled for Tuesday - Monday was to much for my poor travel-weary wife). We felt completely safe and valued, and had the best day with our driver Filippo and Pompeii guide Antonella, learning all we could handle about all 3 sites Later in the week Filippo drove us to the airport for transit to Sicily. I happily, and thankfully, avoided driving in the Naples area (Positano is for the brave only) and we have memories we will always treasure. That experience is worth 12 out of 10 stars, don't you agree?

Great experience - Great driver excellent information. Would highly recommend! He pulled over and took a picture of us with the volcano in the background. He also spoke very good English!!

The driver that made the day even better. - Valerio was an absolute pleasure, providing impeccable service in all ways. He was flexible with pickup and plans, cared about what interested us, tailored the day to our requests and wishes, and took extra liberties to enhance our experience. He was knowledgeable and sweet, engaging in conversation with my family. He suggested we take the scenic route home simply for our viewing pleasure even after a long day of driving us around. Valerio made lunch reservations for us so we didn’t have to worry about where to go upon arriving in Ravello, and treated us to an espresso in Amalfi. Frankly, I was sad to see him go at the end of the day, he had become a part of the family. I look forward to the day I need a driver again so that I can call him up! 10/10💗

Almafi Coast and Pompeii Driver - We had Vincenzo as our driver and we had a great time. He always was punctual and took us to all the spots we wanted to see in Sorrento and Almafi coast. He was very accommodating when we wanted to stop to shop and easy to work with. Valerio kept constant communication with us so it was great and would definitely recommend their services.
