★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 21 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $178Our pick

Hike Amalfi’s Valle delle Ferriere with a private guide, waterfalls, lemon groves, medieval ruins, and serious stair work.

“Our guide Michele was awesome!!!! He was so knowledgeable of the area and gave us so much insight. We walked by Lemon groves, and up to the abandoned paper mills that lined the river long ago. All that’s left of most of them are empty shells. Here you will find the only waterfalls along the Almafi Coast. This is why the pAper mills were built, the natural running water. Here too are prehistoric ferns o my found 3 places on earth, and petrified moss which was really cool to see. This trek is pretty strenuous and does a lot of climbing and retuning by a lot of stairs.

Review of a private Ferriere Valley hike from Ravello to Amalfi, with waterfalls, rare plants, old paper mills, guide tips, price, and practical advice.

“This hike was beyond what I expected. It felt like I was walking through a dream. The hike is moderate. Take some comfortable walking shoes. You might also want to pack some water shoes if you want to get in where the waterfall is. Our guide Mariano was great. We took a ton of pictures and he didnt complain not once. He was great.”

4.Private Half-Day Sightseeing Tour of Vesuvius National Park

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $144

Review of a private half-day trip from Naples to Mount Vesuvius, with door-to-door transport, crater views, costs, tips, and drawbacks.

“This was actually just a taxi ride from our hotel to the turnstiles at the foot of Vesuvius. Not a tour as such . Our driver Antonio was polite and charming but spoke absolutely no English. Our communication was in sign language! A bit frustrating as we noted the tour was in English. That apart he had our tickets and a lovely smile. We arrived at 830am and had to wait for half and hour before the gates opened which was a waste of time. But aside from all we had a fabulous time and getting to the top was awesome. The walk up was tougher than I had thought…”
