“Loved it! - Arranged a pick up at our B&B and was shown the stunning views of Vietri and the neighbouring villages. Our guide Laura spoke perfect English and had a good knowledge of the area. The streets run high up the hills and the Tuk tuk is a perfect way to see everything from top to bottom. Highly recommend this unique way to see the city” (Reviewed on 2024-10-12)
