Hard to imagine a better day! - What a wonderful day! We were a group of 8 on a private tour with Carmine’s tour company, the secret tour with lunch. Manuel was right there waiting for us when we got off the ship, and the first thing he did was ask us what we would like to do, and we loved that flexibility. I didn’t expect us to go to Pompeii because I thought it would take a really long time, but he said we could do it! What a bonus! After Pompeii, we went to the Amalfi coast and started down a very windy road along incredibly huge cliffs. The view was spectacular!Somewhere along the way Manuel started singing opera songs, and since his favorite artist is Bruno Mars he also sang some tunes from him. He is an incredible singer. He also taught us how to pronounce words in Italian. What a treat! We went to a farm to table lunch that we had arranged before hand and that was an incredible experience. Food was delicious and the hosts were more than welcoming. It was a family owned restaurant/farm, which I pictured to be wide expanses of green. Farms here are much different than the US. They are built into cliffs! After that we spent time in Sorrento, a wonderful little resort town overlooking the Bay of Naples. I want to come back and spend more time! We couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable, dedicated, entertaining guide than Manuel, who kept us laughing and even taught us some Italian language. I will call him the singing aficionado! 5 stars! Bravo, Manuel!

Five guide and service - Great day with one of the best guides we have ever had. Echo was very attentive to our needs, fun and interesting with her history knowledge. She is now a native of Naples but grew up in Georgia where we are from. We really enjoyed the wine tour/lunch and the tour of Pompeii . Echo is an awesome person with a big personality that keeps up informed but entertained. Looking forward to our trip with her to Sorrento.

Truly THE Best - There are no words to describe this most fabulous experience. Our driver/guide Luca is one superior human being. This experience was our revisit to the Amalfi Coast and Luca totally customized it to do what we wanted to do. The best kept secret is the fabulous farm to table lunch at the top of Positano. Everything is grown and handmade, including the wine. This experience was truly the highlight of our entire visit to the Amalfi coast - especially when we had the honor and pleasure to meet Carmine in person. Carmine, thank you for your gracious and generous hospitality. You solidified our new found love of Italy. And you have a real gem in Luca. Thank you.

Our day on the Amalfi Coast - We cannot begin to express what an absolutely amazing day we had with Manuel. We rarely write reviews, but our day with Manuel driving us along the Amalfi coast was nothing short of magical! Manuel clearly loves his job and the coast. His enthusiasm made every minute so special. We are thankful to have met him and we will definitely never forgot our day with him. He was like a breath of fresh air!

An Unforgettable Campania Experience with Carmine - We visited Campania for the first time in January of 2023. As a part of our vacation, we spent a couple of days touring the Amalfi Coast with Carmine. If you are able, we highly recommend taking a private tour of Pompeii with his business partner and friend, Paolo. This is how we spent our first afternoon in the area after being picked up by Carmine at the Naples train station. The following morning, we met again for his famous Amalfi Coast Secret Tour. I think it is important to note that Carmine is a very safe driver (critical to feeling safe in the mountains), and is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about the region. You can truly tell he takes great pleasure in sharing his culture and its landscape with others. Carmine was very informative and gave us plenty of time to take in the sights at each stop. He even (unbeknownst to me) picked out the perfect romantic spot for my (now) fiancé to propose! Carmine was kind enough to video the experience, so we will have that memory to look back on forever. Our time with him was the highlight of our vacation. We will definitely be returning to southern Italy again in the future, and when we begin to plan the trip, one of our first calls will be to Carmine. 10/10

Excellent tour of the Amalfi Coast! Book them! - My husband and I had an incredible tour today with Carmine! He took us to so many secret gems where we experienced the Amalfi Coast for the first time like a true local because he knows all the secret spots. He truly knows his history and all about Italian culture as a proud local business owner. His company has great customer service and we felt like we covered so much ground while on our tour and we cannot wait to come back ! Thank you so much for your hospitality and kindness! This was well worth our time, and was an excellent experience to invest in. Book with them, you won’t regret it!

Not a secret tour and way overpriced - My wife booked this tour and driver Manuel picked us up from the cruise port. Manuel was great but the tour itself is not what we expected. We spent about 1 hr 15 minutes in Amalfi, then drove by Positano without stopping and stopped after the town for pictures only, then drove to lunch at a backup farm to table restaurant not the regular restaurant, then drove to Sorrento for about 15 minutes, then back to the ship. The town of Amalfi was great and lunch was great, but $500+ for that and driving around? We spent more time in a car than anything else. Traffic was awful and Manuel did want to get us back to the ship on time which was appreciated, but we should have been told upfront that there wasn’t time for 3 full city visits before booking. My wife was also told we would stop at a lemon grove then the driver said we couldn’t. She was also told we would make local stops along the way and we didn’t. We couldn’t stop at the first farm to table due to family circumstances and that’s nobody’s fault, but at the backup farm to table we were told we’d be able to walk around the farm but we were only able to see chicken pens at a distance. There was nothing “secret” about this tour. While we had a good time, it was not what we expected at all and way overpriced.
