Are you ready to explore the most beautiful destinations in Campania and all along the Amalfi Coast, learning about our ancient culture and savoring our beloved cuisine? Southern Italy is the ideal place to relax and recharge your body and soul, without sacrificing any fun! We have it all — history, art, nature, tradition, amazing views, a relaxing daily life and, above all, wonderful local food. My name is Michael and I am an Amalfi-based tour guide. I run tours for individuals, families, and small groups incorporating my passion for art, history and the old traditions. I can also share anecdotes from travelers of the Grand Tour and gossip about the movie stars and film directors of la dolce vita, who were drawn in by the beauty of the Amalfi Coast. I would love to show you our hidden treasures — the atmospheric alleys and squares, soaring churches and cloisters, inspiring archeological sites, and fragrant lemon gardens — all the quirky details that make a tour on the Amalfi Coast memorable. You will enjoy the magical towns of Positano, Amalfi and Ravello, the daily bustling atmosphere of Naples, the fascinating history of Pompeii and Herculaneum, the stunning beauty of Capri and Sorrento, the breath-taking landscapes of Path of Gods (il Sentiero degli Dei) or the Valley of the Mills (La Valle Dei Mulini), and more. I was born in Amalfi and still live among the lemon groves, many steps from the main piazza. After earning my high school diploma at the Technical Institute for Tourism "Flavio Gioia" of Amalfi, I graduated from the University "Istituto L'Orientale" in Naples with a degree in English Language and Literature I studied fine arts, history, archeology and local traditions at the University, as well as at the Center of Culture and History of Amalfi. In 1995 I took part in the publication of two guidebooks to Amalfi Coast. A few years later I got my license to be a certified tour guide for the Campania Region. Because I was born and raised here, I love to take guests off the beaten track to discover some of the little known but authentic places of Amalfi Coast, towns like Minori, Tramonti, Scala, and Pastena, to name a few. I take great joy in organizing walking or trekking tour among terraced lemon groves, vineyards, and olive and chestnut groves. All of my tours can be customized to your interests and curiosities. My goal is to make your guided tour the most enjoyable it can be. Join me in a unique opportunity to live an unusual experience, basking in the glories of the Amalfi Coast!

Overview of your Amalfi tour
Only a short distance from the bustling Piazza Duomo of Amalfi are tiny alleyways leading to a network of steps that takes you to a tranquil place where you can discover the true spirit of the Amalfi Coast. Would you join me on this journey? We will stroll through ancient kasbah of Amalfi and visit the Cathedral of Saint Andrew, the fascinating Cloister of Paradise, the nearby Museum of Sacred Art, and the Crypt to view the relics of St. Andrew the Apostle. We will also marvel at the stunning Arsenal and Museum of the Compass, the Handmade Paper Museum, and the continue off the beaten path through brightly-colored shops to an old hotel-monastery above the sea to enjoy a special cocktail aperitif! A few minutes past Amalfi is the magical town of Atrani, an old fisherman's borgo immortalized by writers and philosophers and chosen in 2022 by Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning as a shooting location for their last film. I am sure you will fall in love with sun, sea and cultural heritage of my native town!
