Customer Reviews
The team at The Roman Guy got us from our ship and showed us the stunning Amalfi Coast and we learned a lot about the history of Pompeii. An absolutely fantastic time if you are docking in Naples!
What a great tour! My favorite place to have visited ever!
Met at the train station by Eduardo who took us to Pompeii where we met Claudia who gave us yet another amazing tour of the city. Spent a fabulous tour of the old city. Then onto beautiful Positano. The breathtaking views are only ones you see in pictures. The Amalfi Coast is not to be missed. Here we went on a tour of a Limoncello farm where Eugenio and his parents welcomed us into their home like family. We saw and learned about lemon trees, olive trees and all the other activities done on this 5 acre tract of land. We then tasted the wine lemons olive oil and Limoncello all produced on the farm. Then he took us to meet Lucia who taught us to make pizza and then cooked pizza and foccacio for us so delicious. Unforgettable experience. Next day we did a day tour of Ravello this is heaven on earth and is a must see. On the way back stoppedin Amalfi for the best Gelato at Savoia. At Pansa gelaterria we bought Limone Deliso a lemon cream pie like we had never tasted.
