Perfect Hike with Enzo! - To say that Enzo went above and beyond for us would be an understatement. He truly did everything possible to make this the most amazing hike for us. It wasn’t just a hike—Enzo made it a cultural experience that we will fondly remember forever.
Enzo was communicative, warm, positive, knowledgeable, and fun. He is not only an expert on the hiking trails of the region, but also on the history and wildlife. He taught us so much about the history of the Amalfi Coast and on the agricultural production in the area. We got to sample lots of local lemon products along the hike, and it was such a special (and delicious) experience.
The hike gave us the experience to visit both Minori and Maiori, two very authentic destinations on the Amalfi Coast. Along the way, we passed through charming hamlets and saw scenery that we never would have seen otherwise! Enzo offered to take lots of photos of us along the way which we really appreciated.
Reasonably fit people would not find the Path of the Lemons to be challenging, so I would recommend this experience to anyone! Enzo was so patient with us as we took our time taking pictures and soaking in the views. I highly recommend booking the Path of Lemons, or any other hike, with Enzo and Cartotrekking.

Steps along the lemons - What a wonderful morning. Alissia was absolutely the best guide ever!
We can honestly say that he went so far out of his way! The walk is beautiful, and even had some fresh squeeze lemonade along the way!

Patch of the Lemons with CartoTrekking - I took this trip with Vincenzo (CartoTrekking) and my family. We started in Ravello (which is where he is from and seemed to know everybody) and spent several hours walking down to Maori. Vincenzo studied botany in school so it was very impressive to have him point out all of the plants (many edible) growing along the route in addition to lemons, figs, etc. We all wore out our cameras taking pictures because practically every turn leads to another great picture opportunity. Would definitely take this trip with CartoTrekking again!

Great guides! - The tour guide for my REI Adventure: Amalfi Coast and Capri was Giovanni, with Cartotrekking. The tour was supposed to run for six full days; it rained for the first two or three days so unfortunately we were unable to hike the Path of the Gods, but Giovanni managed to take us on the Sentiero dei Limoni and another trail among the lemon trees that led us to a cute little cafe called Fore Porta that is so far off the beaten path we never would have found it on our own.
He also led us on the Trail of the Old Forts (including Mesola and Orrico) and the loop that includes the Arco Natural on Capri, as well as our trip to Mount Vesuvius.
He's very knowledgeable about the area and history, and made the trip very enjoyable.

Intense but beautiful hike! - This was an extremely special experience with a great tour guide, Vincenzo. The views were spectacular and we loved learning the history of the area. While we loved the tour, there were a few aspects that could have been clearer in the description.
1) Physical demands: This is a hike! Be prepared with sportswear and gym shoes—maybe even walking sticks! You walk up and down mountains with 500+ steps several times. We were a group of 4 people in our mid-twenties and it was vigorous!
2) Timing: our meeting time was 9 AM and we asked our guide to get us back to Ravello by 1 PM. To do so, we literally had to run up and down the mountains. Make sure you have enough time to complete the hike at the pace you need!
3) Ending point: The tour ended in Maoiori. We had assumed we’d easily be able to take a taxi from there back to Ravello, but there were none available. Luckily, Vincenzo saved us by helping us get to the next largest town so we could take the bus back. We were still back on time!
A great experience overall, but make sure you’re up for it!

Awful logistics - When I booked this trip, the Viator site gave two departure points, Minori and Ravella. There was no info on the site that said they would only be leaving from one of them. They sent a message on a Viator system (nobody said that was how they's communicate) and also sent me a note on my email - but they said that was about a tour of Pompei. So it was a hot mess. They said I could wait an hour and somebody would get us but we didn't have that much time to wait. Despite the awful communications, they offered NOTHING in to make it right. I recommend you skip Viator and book directly with the tour operator.
