Our tour guide was well informed and charming. We learned some history and saw parts of Salerno we might not have found on our own. A lovely city.

Beautiful Salerno- Excellent City Tour

What a fantastic experience. Our tour guide spoke English well, she had a great energy and took us to the some historic places that we would have never found on our own. She was very knowledgeable about the city, had some great anecdotal stories to share, and we really enjoyed our smaller tour (6 of us in total). A bonus was stopping in one of the last hattery's in Italy. What a treat.

Relaxed Stroll thru Salerno

The experience was like walking around with a friend. Found some charming shops, restaurants, and street art. The tour wasn't strict on places or locations. She gave some insightful background and some options of places to see.

Salerno was a lovely surprise!

Our guide, Rocchina, was a highlight of our trip. She arrived on time, was knowledgeable and took time to discover what we would be most interested in seeing. She answered every question we had, and it was obvious she loved her city. I would highly recommend opting to walk around the lovely city of Salerno and make sure you book with Rocchina!

Excellent!!!

Ana did a wonderful job in this tour. Very knowledgeable of Salerno. I highly recommend her tour. She arrived on time to the meeting point. I enjoyed my time with Ana.

Guide was sick and didn't show up but we were refunded.

BarbaraSmith_T, Oct 2023
I can't leave a review; our tour guide didn't show up or respond to my chat messages. Finally I received a message that our guide had Covid and we could reschedule for the next day. We opted to get a refund.

Time well spent

So deep is Francesco’s knowledge, it risks going unappreciated by those fortunate enough to even find themselves in Salerno, and on his walking tour. Francesco paces his tour, and speaks at a volume, that commands one’s complete attention and concentration. I eagerly listened to his every word during our brief time together. He has spent his life studying history, religion, and other cultures across the world. By taking his tour one reaps the benefits of his decades of dedication. He generously and humbly shares the understanding he possesses, as a result of his quest. He is proud of his region, and it is evident in the way he unhurriedly details its ancient, rich, vibrant, and meaningful history. The Salerno Cathedral was my favorite part of the tour. The chapel full of frescos depicting the gospel of Matthew was a sight to behold. For anyone who knows his or her Bible stories, this is not to be missed. The frescos themselves are beautiful, and to be enjoyed by all. I take many tours in many places, but this one stood out to me, thanks to Francesco. I consider myself truly fortunate to have been on his tour, and will remember it always. Grazie, Francesco!

Adriano was very knowledgeable and kept the walking tour fun. He went above and beyond in giving us a great tour and providing us assistance in travel information.

Great way to see and learn all about Salerno!

SuSan_D, Aug 2019
Our guide, Adriano, was great! He was very easy to chat with and shared so much of the history and details. It was not rushed yet we covered so much! Highly recommend this. (Double check your meeting point - we were at different locations but eventually caught up with him.)
