Captivating Carmine! - When the tours that American Express Travel offered did not fit into our schedule, an agent suggested a private tour and highly recommended Carmine Foggia. How grateful we were/are that we took that recommendation! One tour for us turned into several exceptional excursions with him...Naples, Mount Vesuvius, Pompeii, Sorrento and all along the Amalfi Coast - fantastico! For anyone that knows the roads to any of the places - then you know how difficult the windy roads are to the volcano or along the coast! The Italians are in a rush and the terrified tourists are terribly slow with every turn - making travel extremely nerve racking. But NOT with Carmine - he was absolutely incredible navigating the routes and we were at ease to really experience the ride. And what rides they were - filled with delightful conversation where he shared his knowledge, history, humor and passions as well as stops along the way to take the best photos. Of course, we went to all the tourists spots, but he also showed us the secret places not found on regular tours and wonderful suggestions for restaurants off the beaten tourist path. We are grateful that while only having three days in the area - we not only experienced quite a lot, but now crave to return again. It is no wonder he is a second generation tour - de force - guide and would certainly make his father proud of the exceptional service he offers his clients and the memories they take with them home. Bravo Carmine!

Outstanding tour and customer service - My first trip to Italy and this company ViaAmalfi was incredible. We were picked up on time from the train station and swift away to Mt. Vesuvius. We hiked to the top of the crater, which was a fairly easy hike. The views are outstanding. The next stop was Sorrento, where we had lunch on the pizazza, and walked around the narrow streets for a little shopping. The last stop was Pompeii. Incredible, if I haven’t already said that. Our tour guide, was friendly, patient and very, very knowledge and answered all our questions. Perfect day out with ViaAmalfi.
