A tour with an old friend... - We spent nine hours with Gennaro and would have gladly spent nine more. The wealth of knowledge, the kindness and attentiveness and more importantly: his passion and genuineness in wanting to share what he calls: "his Napoli" with you only gives you a deeper appreciation of a place long misunderstood. Even though this was a City Escape, you truly cannot detach Napoli from the Amalfi Coast and though we were taken on a day full of beauty, Gennaro wove history with his wonderful story telling between these two iconic geographical points, providing us with a well informed overview of the past and present.
The benefit of having a private tour is the opportunity to design specifics and move at your own pace. Gennaro is attentive and listens very carefully to your needs. He is kind by wanting to share as much as you want and is also intuitive enough to tell you when you should do something. Having had no expectations of what we wanted out of the Amalfi Coast tour, only wanting to experience it, Gennaro expertly provided us with opportunities to enjoy the spectacular views, avoid the crazy crowds of Amalfi and Positano, without diluting the overall experience of Amalfi.
Though we could go on and on as to why Gennaro is a terrific guide, we would like to simply say that if you want professionalism, knowledge, and feel as if an old friend was showing you around his "heaven," Gennaro is your man. We cannot recommend Gennaro enough...in fact, we feel so fortunate he was available and hope to have another opportunity to connect with him in the future!

Private tour of Amalfi Coast with Mariagrazia - We had a great day. We didn’t have any previous ideas of what to see other than watching a TV show about the area. Mariagrazia knew the show and took us to places better than the show. She showed us Her Amalfi coast. Every where we went we got special treatment because we were with Mariagrazia. From flexible restaurant reservations to preferred water taxi’s. I highly recommend.

Awesome Positano Day Trip~ - We had an awesome time on our tour with Federica. She was waiting for us when we got off the ship since we were headed to Positano from Naples. She did exactly what we had requested with flexibility during the day. She was knowledgeable about the region with helpful tips and recommendations. She knew we were worried about making sure we made it back to the ship on time and was always cognizant of the time. We definitely will be using her again with WithLocals.

Great day in the Amalfi Coast - Our experiences were amazing and nothing that we would have been able to do if we were a part of a traditional tour. The personal experience was outstanding and Mariagrazia was great! We were able to test local cheeses and see how mozzarella was made. She also took us to a local cafe where we were able to try some amazing sweets.

Fantastic day trip along the Amalfi Coast - We had a wonderful and relaxing day with Mariagrazia as she drove us to see the towns along the Amalfi Coast. We met up with her at the Central Naples train station and then headed to Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi where we wandered a bit I. Town and enjoyed a delicious seaside lunch and Ravello, where we toured the Villa Rufala which to me was the most beautiful location.
She gave us lots of information along the way about the culture, the history, the sea and land, the food, seems like everyone knew her everywhere we stopped as well, which was fun. Heading back we stopped in the side of the road for the best lemon ice I’ve ever had. And she helped my husband find the sunglasses he was hoping to buy while in Italy nearby, too.
Thank you Mariagrazia for sharing your coast with us for a day!

Beautiful Amalfi coast is better seen through the eyes of a local - Two couples chose Genarro for a tour of the Amalfi coast. Due to a complication, he found a replacement for us. We had also booked him for a private wine tasting, food tour of Naples, and tour of Pompeii a few weeks later. We did not meet up with him until the wine tasting as we had a knowledgeable guide give us a tour of Pompeii. Genarro is a very interesting and compassionate human being. We had an extraordinary time on our food tour of Naples. Eating our way through the city was a very fun experience. We trusted Genarro to choose the best foods for us to taste and he did not disappoint. Do yourself a favor and book this charismatic man for a tour. You will not regret it. Thank you again for everything, Genarro!

Amazing Amalfi Coast Experience - From the moment Gennaro picked us up, he shared his expert knowledge on the history of Naples, Amalfi Coast, Capri, and the surrounding countryside. He knew the best spots for pictures, food, limoncello! We requested a stop at a lemon farm and he went out of his way to accommodate that, including a stop at a Limoncello factory and lunch at a Lemon farm! Gennaro went out of his way to create an amazing experience for us and it was definitely the best tour we had during our trip to Italy!!!

Amalfi Coast Day Tour - Gennaro was an amazing host. From the time he picked us up at the hotel to the end of the day he was full of useful information and the perfect host. He was such a great guide as he connected the day before to ensure we had the perfect day planned for our family of three--(one student who is 22 and staying here in Rome to study) and that we would be traveling to the areas we most wanted to see. Sorrento, Positano, Minori, Amalfi and Ravello---even adjusting the tour to our liking. After he knew we were not great fans of all the crowds he arranged more time in Ravello which was perfect! The gardens were beautiful, the crowds minimal, and the views amazing! His love of the Napoli area was evident and his passion for travel, food, and ensuring we understand all the positives the area has to offer was evident. From ensuring we tried the off the beaten path--not yet known pastry shops in not one, but two areas (not sharing the names so they remain unknown ) to ensuring we had time to walk to the beach in both Positano and Minori. He also made the drive time fly by with his understanding of the history of each area and what makes them unique. I would recommend him for any tour and know that if we come back we will again request him for other touring opportunities! Can't recommend him enough! He was so positive and it came through how much he loves what he does!

Drive along The Amalfi Coast - From the moment we met Gennaro we could tell he had good energy. He shared the same love of travel and excellent food. We spent the day driving along the beautiful Amalfi Coast stopping at breathtaking vistas to take pictures. Gennaro shared his passion for the area and gave us detailed information about the landscape and culture. We stopped at his friend’s limoncello shop and saw first hand how to make limoncello. I am excited to enjoy my limoncello spritz when I return home. We stopped at a beautiful restaurant on the sea and enjoyed a delicious pizza while my kids took a swim in the Mediterranean Sea. It was an amazing day in a place I have always dreamed of visiting. I will treasure my memories made with my family in Italy. I am already dreaming of a time to return and spend more time in the area. I will not hesitate to call Gennaro for another amazing experience on the Amalfi Coast.❤️🇮🇹🍋

Amazing experience - We had an amazing time with Roberto. He was very friendly, informative and communicative. We went to the Amalfi coast and did not regret hiring him one bit. We learned so much from Roberto and would recommend him to anyone planning a tour.
