What an amazing time! - Salvatore and Federico were brilliant! So knowledgeable, so friendly and they put on a great tour. They planned a good amount of stops along the way to rest from the steps and the views were stunning. Even after the tour they were really helpful with lunch and dinner recommendations that were fantastic. We enjoyed the lemon farm so much, it was so interesting to see what they did and their products tasted amazing. Absolutely lovely people. It was brilliant to see Maiori and Miniori which were really beautiful areas. I would recommend anyone visits and when you do, book this tour!

Stunning Views of Positano - The Path to the Gods Hiking tour in Sorrento was an unforgettable experience. Our guide, Pepe (short for Giuseppe), was incredibly knowledgeable and made the journey both informative and engaging. His deep understanding of the area’s history, culture, and natural beauty added a rich layer of context to the stunning views we encountered along the trail. Pepe was not only knowledgeable but also very considerate and helpful throughout the hike. He ensured that everyone in the group was comfortable and catered to our needs with great attentiveness. His enthusiasm and passion for the region were evident, making the tour even more enjoyable. A highlight of the tour was the fantastic lunch at Antonio’s house, located right on the trail. The meal was a delightful spread of local specialties, freshly prepared and bursting with flavor. It was a wonderful opportunity to rest, savor delicious food, and enjoy the hospitality of our gracious host, Antonio. Overall, the Path to the Gods hiking tour in Sorrento, guided by Pepe, was an extraordinary experience. It offered a perfect blend of breathtaking scenery, cultural insights, and culinary delights. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sorrento.

Unforgettable hike! - Incredible views walking the ancient path in the hills above the Amalfi coast roadway. Nino our guide was full of information and good cheer. The stop at the shepard’s structure with homemade cheeses and bread was an unexpected treat. A must do hike while in Sorrento and Amalfi.

Amazing hike. - Amazing!! There are several steps and small climbs but fairly easy hike. Highly recommend hiking shoes or sneakers. The guide was very knowledgeable and stopped at a local farmer for a snack. It is a long ride to get to the starting point but was worth it to stay in Sorrento.

Overall it was a nice... - Overall it was a nice tour. Although a foggy day we enjoyed our guide Lena and hike, but especially the experience at the Shepard’s house for a snack. However, I was disappointed in the description of the tour and what we expected and received. First, we arrived on time at 7:50 and waited for over half hour for the rest of the people to arrive. There were also three tours with three different prices and slightly descriptions, but they all ended up being exactly the same tour. Ultimately It was a loop around that started and ended in the same place and only a snack. We were disappointed because we had selected the one with lunch and that went to Positano. I think Viator should change the options, update the experience description and only offer one tour.

Communication not good….. - The hike was great….the communication as to where we were to be picked up was frustrating. We called & luckily the person answering spoke English & I explained we weren’t given the correct place to be picked up. They sent their driver over to get us. The hike was good…
