Ciao! My name is Rosa, I’m a professional walking and hiking guide across the Amalfi Coast and the Cilento National Park. I’ve been exploring these paths since I was 12 years old, and that childhood passion has become my life’s work and what I love to share with my guests today. I believe the best way to discover my region is on foot—it’s the most relaxing and truthful way to connect with the land. I think my tours are specials because I prefer the authentic places, where you can experience the real life. I prefer to think people coming here as travelers, not only tourists so I plan my tours by asking myself: "What would I want to experience if I were visiting this place for the first time?" Together, we’ll escape the crowded places to find "secret" spots reachable only by ancient trails. Along the way, it’s common to meet local farmers with their donkeys or working in the fields. They are as curious about you as you are about them, often stopping for a friendly chat that makes you feel truly welcome. To travel is also to taste! I'm a foodie and I love to share my favorite local spots—from family-run organic farms to home restaurants tucked away in vineyards. We can have a mozzarella-making class, a Limoncello or Wine tasting or plan a pasta workshop. People are very proud of their places, generous in sharing their knowledge and they will make you feel part of the family! I specialize in small, intimate groups (typically 4-7 people) to ensure a high-quality, personal connection. However, I can host up to 12 guests and I am happy to customize every detail based on your pace and preferences. Join me for an experience that will leave you with lifelong memories. I’m sure we’ll have a lot of fun—I can’t wait to meet you! * Licenced official guide of Vesuvius National Park from 2008 * part of AIGAE (Italian Association of Excursions Guides)from 2012 to 2021 * part of LAGAP (Italian Association of Professional Guides for Excursions) from 2022 * IELTS Certification in English Language - level C1 Advanced (UK in 2011) I cannot guide inside archeological sites, museums and churches.

This walking/hiking tour is a great way to visit three of its most fascinating villages and enjoy some of the most astonishing views. Ravello was the town of the richest families of Amalfi, there are sumptuous villas like Villa Cimbrone, with its marvelous gardens and its "Infinity terrace" facing the sea from the height of 400 meters; Villa Rufolo, the place where Wagner was inspired for its work, the Parsifal. Ravello it's also a great place for shopping: ceramics and sandals are produced here! And a place for a good pizza cooked in a wooden oven in a nice garden. A nice descending walk/hike into the Dragon valley (or through Castiglione) will leads us to Atrani, a tiny village looking like a nativity scene. That was the stage for the series Ripley. Around the corner we find Amalfi, once a powerful independent republic in the Mediterranean area, its majestic moorish cathedral, the main square with many cafes, where you can taste the Lemon delight and enjoy the special atmosphere.
•We meet in Ravello and we have a stroll along the way to the Villa Cimbrone. You can visit its "english style" gardens and the astonishing "Infinity terrace" overlooking the sea. •You have time for shopping, to visit the ceramic shops and enjoy the atmosphere for a while • We have 3 options to reach Atrani walking: 1st option is the Dragon valley, in 1 hour following an old connection path (we have steps and some parts on the main road); 2nd option is a more scenic path along the coast (but with many more steps, about 1000); 3rd option is a descending paved path, a mix of regular steps and flat parts. We reach Atrani, a tiny village caught between the sea and the mountains. •We continue walking for 15 minutes more to arrive in Amalfi, you can visit the Cathedral on your own, enjoy the lemon delight, a specialty of the best patisserie Note: If you want to visit Villa Rufolo and the Cathedral you can do on your own as I'm not licensed for guiding inside churches
