Hello my name is Carmine. The original Carmine mentioned in all editions of Rick Steves books. My father started as a tour guide in Naples in 1952 with a single hope to share the Italian culture with anyone who wanted to experience it. In 1989 I joined my father as a certified escort and guide in Italy and focused on my hometown of Naples and the Amalfi Coast. I have been sharing my hometown for over 27 years now and I have come to see that visiting my region can be very commercial. Most who visit never really got to feel Naples and the Amalfi coast for what it truly was. This region is filled with culture and experiences far beyond the tourist traps most tours limited their guests to. It is my goal for my guest to experience Italy, not just see it. It is one thing to visit my country but it another thing to experience it. I want my guests to experience the Amalfi Coast and live the Italian culture, even if it is only for one day. But he only way to do this is to get off the beaten path, step back into a world that has not been affected by progress or change and immerse yourself in the culture of this region. We breakaway from the tour bus experience and traverse small roads overlooking the most beautiful coast on the Mediterranean Sea. When you visit you will enjoy a true Farm to Table lunch experience. We will walk the terraced hillside and see where your food and wine came from and feel what it is like to be welcomed into the home and restaurant of an Italian family. This is the Italian Culture experience you are looking for. When you experience the Amalfi Coast through my eyes you will see Italy for what it really is. Come, let me show you my hometown. That's only one of the countless reason why you should contact me and find out more about it. I am positive that if you will come along on one of my tours you will absolutely love it, , and at the end of of your tour experience, like all my previuous guests you will refer to the tour as "Carmine's Secret Tour "aNickname that was given to me by Rick Steves . This caused a phenomonea within the travel business along the Amalfi coast. That many are trying to immulate my tour "Carmine's Secret Tour". If you want the authentic original and realexperience of the secreets of the Amalfi Coast. . Come join me om my secret adventuar tour "Carmine's Secret Tour".

We LOVED our own private tour of the Amalfi coast which we will forever call the CARMINE COAST. He knows the coast inside and out and he planned to most perfect day for us. I won't give away too many details, but if you don't use Carmine for your tour of the coast, you are missing some of the best parts. We saw exquisite views of the coast and had an endless meal of fresh veggies and pasta (and wine and limoncello) and much more. His truck was comfortable and accommodated 8 of us with no issues.

Carmine is such a wonderful guide. His driving is immaculate, and it is obvious that he loves to show off this region of Italy. He showed me what I asked for, and he knows so many people in the area which is very helpful. I told him I wanted to get some local wine and he knew a winemaker so he took me there. It was important for him to make me happy and he did that. I had the most amazing day with him.

Without a doubt one of the best tours I've experienced. From the very moment I booked the tour Carmine's communication was great. We were picked up from our hotel in Naples and the adventure began! Carmine is lovely & puts you at ease immediately . He has been a tour guide for 30 years, his father before him. He's incredibly knowledgeable. I won't spoil the 'secrets' but I can tell you that you won't be disappointed, you will see parts that others don't & he gets you to places before the 'masses' descend.

This is a fantastic tour! Carmine clearly loves his hometown and the Amalfi Coast. Before leaving the city he drove to some major sites near our hotel. The place Carmine took us to lunch in Positano was amazing. Not only was the food fantastic the view was breathtaking. My 8yo son loved this tour! If you want to shop and sightsee I recommend aiming for 2 cities and not 3. Carmine was very accommodating. I highly recommend this tour. It is off the beaten track and well worth the cost.

Carmine's Secret tour was fantastic. He is fun, engaging, informative, a very safe driver, and showed us a lot. He accommodated specific requests. The restaurant he brought us to for lunch was fantastic- a real gem and highlight of the trip. A farm-to-table restaurant above Positano, where the farm is all within about 100 metres from the tables, terraced into the hills.
