Trip of a Lifetime
I had been to Italy twice before but nothing compares to the Walking Tour through the Amalfi Coast. To be able to hike through farmlands and orchards of Lemons and Olives was just so serene. The gorgeous views during The Walk of Gods and from the top of Mt. Vesuvius were breathtaking. Seeing donkeys traveling on the same trails we were, goats just above us and having a wonderful lunch on the seashore made you feel like you were in a movie. Antonio A. was such an excellant tour guide. It was indeed, a trip of a lifetime!

Good Tour for Active People

This was my first experience with a tour, and I'm glad I chose this one. It was nice to have a small group. Our tour director was terrific, very knowledgeable and personable, helping to meld people into a friendly group. This was especially important when the weather was uncooperative, and he was able to rearrange events quickly to keep us cheerful and occupied. The hotels were also a good choice. There was a nice balance of included and optional excursions. When we did ride the bus, the driver was excellent and I was glad we had the same driver throughout. The walks were spectacular, I would definitely recommend them for participants who are fit and enjoy exercise.

Walking the Amalfi Coast
March is a great time to do this tour - temps were 65 to 75 every day - perfect for walking, plus there are not hoards of tourists in March. The only issue was not everything was open, and the boats to Ischia are not running because there are not enough tourists to make it worthwhile for them. But it was nice to have a free day in Sorrento. Our hotel was so centrally located we could walk or take public transportation to anything we wanted.
Naples was better then I expected - the hotel was gorgeous and well located in a safe and fun to walk around part of the city. The only part I didn't care for was the subterranean tour - if you're at all claustrophobic, just go with the group to the entrance, but stay above ground - there are plenty of things to see and do right near there, including a limoncello factory that offers free tastings. My friend & I walked from our hotel to the fresh seafood restaurants near the Castel dell Ovo and had a wonderful dinner while strolling minstrels serenaded us - a memorable experience.
The hike to the top of Vesuvius is very steep and loose gravel - a local entrepreneur offers walking sticks for you to use for a 'donation' - I recommend using them. The hike is worth it because the views are spectacular. Several people on tour who had never been to Pompeii thought it would be dull and were fascinated, mostly because of our local guide who made it come alive.

The first glimpse of the Amalfi Coast brought tears to our eyes, it is so beautiful. Walking to Atrani was easy and charming, and the gardens at Ravello are breathtaking.
Perhaps my favorite day was the local villages walk - starting on top of the peninsula and following the path winding down to the sea was just stunning. We walked not only through villages, but through farms, past goats & cows, many friendly dogs, olive trees and artichokes, and woulnd up in a tiny fishing village where the locals were fixing their nets. I couldn't stop smiling.
No, actually my favorite day was Capri. The boat ride around the island was incredible. I will never forget the unbelievable turquoise water, the coral hugging the rocky coastline, the ancient villages on the cliffs.

Loved the Mozzarella Farm - great food & wine. Didn't do the Path of the Gods - bad knee - but did all the rest. Was surprised how many seniors were on this walking trip. It's an active tour because of the walking, but not because of changing to a new hotel every two days like many of the other tours. I liked that. If you want to feel like you're really in Italy, instead of trying to see the whole country in one trip, this tour is for you. Don't bring the kids.

We just returned from this 10-day tour with wonderful memories and nothing but positive things to say about GoAhead Tours. We had a marvelous tour director and excellent licensed local guides. We finally got to see some of Pompeii. The Naples subterranean and archeological museum were impressive as well. The hotel in Naples was superior and included a delightful breakfast buffet right off the rooftop terrace. The rooms were spacious and included free wifi. We loved Sorrento and the full day excursion to Ravello and Amalfi was breathtaking. The hotel in Sorrento really was about location, location, location and we were easily able to use our free time to explore on our own. I have already recommended this tour to several of my friends. Oh, did I forget to mention, the food was soooo good. Thank you all at Goahead Tours.

The trip was actve, including both walking some incredible beautiful trails and spending time in historical sites and museums. The food, wines, towns and city were even more than advertised. I would recommend this tour to any traveler who is interested in seeing the Amalfi Coast.

My dream trip
Images for this Review
(click to see full-size image)
This was our first trip out of the US, and it was everything I'd hoped for. I saw a TV show about the Amalfi Coast several years ago and that's when I started saving my money! The group activities were a lot of fun and the guides were great. There was a nice balance between group time and free time. The Path of Gods was beautiful and not to be missed. The pace was nice although I would have preferred longer walks. The hotels we stayed at were very nice and comfortable, and all of the group meals were yummy. I liked the tour aspect because Katia, the tour leader, kept us informed and on a schedule. She would tell us where and when, so we didn't have to think about anything. It was all done for us! I found this especially helpful since we don't speak the language and are not familiar with European ways. I can't wait to go back on another tour, maybe Tuscany??!!

Tour of The Amalfi Coast - October 6-15, 2011
The coastline was breathtaking and the Path of the Gods option, while strenuous, well worth the time and effort for the wonderful views, if not the excellent restaurant near the end of the path. Sorrento and Positano were highlights for us; simply wonderful towns. Vesuvius and Pompeii were breathtaking and all we expected them to be. Naples and Sorrento make the best pizza I've ever had; the secret's in the crust!

So much history, such great exercise, such beautiful sights, sounds, smells, tastes - a complete vacation from your day to day life and a truly refreshing experience. You will find little pockets of heaven on earth on the Amalfi coast, with opportunities for relaxing and watching the Italian world go by as well as challenging your personal horizons. Tour Guides are extremely knowledgeable and professional.GO!

One of My Favorite Trips
Images for this Review
(click to see full-size image)
Walking the Amalfi Coast was my eighth trip with Go Ahead and is one of my favorites. The variety of walks was excellent. The Path of the Gods was, by far, the most challenging hike I've been on but it was worth every sore muscle. The views are indescribable. The Mt. Vesuvius hike was also challenging but more that it was cold and windy rather than so difficult. Most of the other walks were just pleasant visits to towns, estates and gardens. You really need to be in shape to do the Path of the Gods walk. It is unique.

First trip with GAT
Amazing scenery! Well paced with optional free time. Highlights were the Path of the Gods hike, village walk and free day in Rome. Unfortunately it rained the day to see Capri. Very compatible group. Very knowledgeable tour guide. My next Italy trip will be the Walking tour of Tuscany with GAT.

The Amalfi Coast is breathtakingly beautiful from every viewpoint. We enjoyed views not only from the tour bus but from high on the cliffs when hiking the Path of the Gods and from the Mediterranean Sea on our ferry to Capri and Ischia, where we even went swimming. Having six nights in Sorrento also allowed us the freedom to explore and visit several restaurants on our own in the evening. Our guide was helpful recommending restaurants and organised two wonderful lunches for the group which made it very convenient for our activities that day. We loved everything about this tour.

A Walking Tour of Italy's Amalfi Coast
This tour provided a variety of activities to do. The walks were challenging, yet breathtaking. The scenery was spectacular! We really liked how active we were on the entire trip. We felt as though we saw so many hidden gems, gardens, views, due to our knowlegable and experienced tour director. There were many favorites from climbing Mt. Vesuvius to exploring the ruins of Pompei, swimming in the Mediteranian, walking the Path of Gods, and strolling along Ischia and Capri. We highly recommend this tour, all the excursions and would like to visit the Amalfi Coast again!

WALKING TOUR OF THE AMALFI COAST
Images for this Review
(click to see full-size image)
This is a fabulous tour; I highly recommend it. BUT it is very challenging. You need to be able to walk long distances on uneven terrain and be able to climb and descend hills and trails. You really need walking sticks for Mt. Vesuvios and the Path of Gods. If you don't it will be much more difficult, especially for the Path of Gods, which will hold back the whole group. I recommend taking all optional tours with the exception of the Tarantella Dinner and Show. The food was okay but the show went on way too long which was after a full day of walking in Ravello and Atrani. If you've seen one old-folk traditional dance, you've seen them all.
The Amalfi coast is magical. If you like to walk, a lot, bring your good walking shoes, walking sticks and a lot of energy. It will be a trip of a lifetime.

While the trip was challenging for me it was well worth the effort. I had the most wonderful time and the views were spectacular. It was what I needed to get back into exercise and get ready for the next trip.I was disappointed that The imperial Rome tour was canceled but had time to see the sights on my own. I traveled with my sister and a group of her running buddies. It was my Birthday gift to myself and the best gift ever!!

See the beautiful coastline, cross paths from villages to villages, enjoy history... Walking trip that you can find challenging, but you can do it! The "best" trip is an exploring adventure off the main paths and to enjoy Italy and the "soft" fresh air and the pizza! Capri was beautiful and we enjoyed the cruise around the island and visiting the town was a terrific "last" day. Our guide (as usual) made our trip the best!
