All the Caspin Journey tours are unique and spectacular. Amalfi Coast was our 8th tour since 2001! Each unique and amazing daily walk, three fabulous hotels and locations, delicious and fun meals, four additional expert tour guides (at Paestrum, Pompeii, Tenuta Vannulo and on the walk from Ravello to Amalfi with town tour) plus the company of other lovely guests created memories of a lifetime. Caroline and Pino are consummate professionals who always ensure everyone’s needs are met and flexible options provided. The value for the cost is superior and we highly recommend Caspin Journeys.
Amalfi Coast Walking & Hiking TourMy wife and I talked about going to Italy for 25 years. When we finally decided to go I saw Caspin Journeys on tour radar. It looked the perfect fit for us , and it truly was. Exploring the sites and walking the Tuscany countryside was like a romantic movie for us.
Cinque Terre & Tuscany Walking & Hiking TourThe guide, Gennaro Pisacane, was excellent and clearly loved what he does. He freely shared his knowledge of the places we hiked - a history lesson in motion. The itinerary was well thought out and Gennaro was knowledgeable and able to adapt to people’s abilities. The food at the agriturismo was excellent. And the hiking group itself was full of amazing people.
