The Best Salerno walking tour - Alessi was an incredible tour giude. She took us through the old parts of Salerno and carefully explained its rich history. I was fascinated to see some of the old parts of buildings built right into new buildings. Then she blended the new parts of Salerno like a fine glass of wine. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in learning the history of Salerno and seeing its beautiful past and present architecture. Alessi was very friendly and informative. I highly recommend requesting Alessi!

Great way to learn about Salerno - We took this tour on our first night in Salerno to help us get our bearings. We met our guide, Alessia, and the rest of the party as agreed following a slight change from the original booking. Alessia was a wonderful, informative guide, who continually ensured all the party were engaged, while looking after their wellbeing to ensure they enjoyed the tour. She answered all questions put to her and was very friendly taking time to chat with everyone between sights. She also gave very good tips on restaurants to visit and other local knowledge which we put to good use later in our time in Solerno. Thank you Alessia for a wonderful, informative evening around your beautiful city. I would highly recommend this tour

A wonderful tour around Salerno - This was an excellent walking tour. There were four of us, two English speaking and two Italian. The guide spoke in both languages, pointing out the sights. We visited the cathedral (you must see the crypt), Roman baths, the merchant street and many other sites.

Informative and Worthwhile - Very informative. Alessia provided an excellent overview of Salerno history and peeks into tiny areas of the city where we saw artisans and ancient ruins, as well as the amazing Artist Lights display. She skillfully switched from Italian to English throughout. Highly recommend to visitors and residents!
