Amazing Ravello Tour - This two hour walking tour of Ravello was an amazing experience and a highlight of our trip. Our tour guide was a charming young woman named Rossella. It was obvious how much she loves her native town when sharing her insights with us. Although the tour included visits to the Duomo di Ravello and Villa Rufolo, our favorite part of the tour was our walk through the magnificent gardens of the Villa Cimbrone. Rossella spoke about the history surrounding its creation. She did not just spout facts. She made the facts interesting and entertaining. Although she spoke impeccable English, I enjoyed practicing my Italian when speaking with her. I highly recommend this tour because you will walk away with a better understanding and a deeper appreciation of the beauty that is Ravello.

Breathtaking views! - Our guide, Raffaele, was really good! We learned a lot about the region’s history and he took us to some of the most amazing gardens we’ve ever seen! Breathtaking views high above the Amalfi coastline - one of the definite highlights of our entire trip! Raffaele was very knowledgeable and helpful with local restaurant recommendations as well. Such a pleasant outing!

A must if spending a day in Ravello - The walking tour with Lucia was great, she not only shared all of the history of this beautiful town but she was able to bring us into multiple hotels that were once villas owned by wealthy families in Ravello, she brought us to places that we would not have had access to if on our own. We arrived late because of the bus from Amalfi but she was very kind to wait for us and spend the full two hours. I would highly recommend this tour.
