Historical Tour Through Salerno - Alessia brought us on an amazing tour of the ancient and modern parts of Salerno. Her knowledge of the history of this city is astounding, we learned so much! If we had tried to explore the city ourselves, I'm sure we would have barely touched on any of the things she showed us, and we certainly would have missed the hidden historical gems (like the Greek and Roman columns hidden throughout old town). Our tour included a walk through the Duomo, as well as the crypt where St. Matthew's ashes are kept. It was a stunning example of Greek, Roman, Mideival, and Byzantine architecture... all in one spot! Our only regret is that we did this tour on our last day in Salerno, because she gave us many tips and reccomendations for where to visit (and eat) afterwards. She was very responsive through text, kind, courteous, and hospitable. If you plan on including Salerno in your trip along the Amalfi Coast, don't miss this tour. Grazie Mille, Alessia!

Excellent tour of Salerno with fantastic guide! - Great tour of Salerno and Alyssa was a terrific and knowledgeable tour guide. Would highly recommend if you’re in town and have a couple of hours. She shows you some pretty great places!! There were only 4 of us on the tour and the other two were from a cruise ship, but our guide spoke effortlessly between the two languages. It was great! The chapel/crypt is an absolute MUST!

Could have been more informative - We thought the city of Salerno was really impressive and definitely worth a visit but the tour could have been more informative, proactive (v us asking questions), and better paced especially as we missed the thermal baths that are worth seeing. Alessia is very nice and it's always great to have a local show you around. Her strongest point was at the cathedral (the highlight of the visit) but the street tour could have been more informative.
