1.Path of the Gods Private Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 58 reviews · from $141Our pick

Walk the original 7-kilometer Path of the Gods from Agerola to Nocelle with a private English or Italian-speaking guide. Meet a shepherd, taste local produce and wine, stop for photos, and add hotel pickup or lunch at a local trattoria. Guides may include Marco, Enzo, Paolo, or Vincenzo.

“Marco was an exceptional guide. He was punctual and gave me more than a historical tour. It was really a memorable experience for me. From seeing Anthony the shepherd, to touching and smelling mint, rosemary, fennel and honey flower to tasting a fresh fig, it was an experience I will never forget. Marco understood my pace and provided walking sticks. He offered suggestions on how to more safely decline the 2000 steps so it was better for my knees.

“We were really looking forward to this boat tour, but unfortunately, the experience fell short of expectations. Our swimming and relaxation time, one of the main reasons we booked was cut in half because other guests were over 30 minutes late. Instead of adhering to the schedule, the skippers decided to wait and accommodate them, which ultimately penalized those of us who were on time. This decision set a frustrating tone for the trip and significantly affected the value of the experience. To make matters worse, the food provided later was minimal, stale, and frankly unappetizing. Definitely not in line with what was promised or paid for. Overall, the experience…”
