“Skip the Ship’s Excursion and Book With Sorrento! - Roberto is a skilled driver on those narrow, climbing roads! His love for his home of Sorrento and the coast is obvious. A fantastic communicator, Roberto responded immediately to my email to coordinate this tour, offered suggestions for logistics, checked in the day before to set up a meeting place, and arrived early to pick us up from our ship. As soon as we plan another visit, I will contact him again!” - Reviewed on 2024-10-29

“Superb small group tour of the Amalfi coast - Davide our driver/guide was amazing. Very careful and skilful along with narrow winding roads. The tour had just 8 of us in a Mercedes mini van and brought us to 3 places namely Ravello, Amalfi and Positano. In between Davide, who spoke excellent English, gave us all sorts of info and tips for the places we were to visit. Highly recommended. Much better than having a large group on a bus.” - Reviewed on 2024-10-02
