What people love about Hiking & Trekking Tours in Amalfi Coast
This was a great way to see the Amalfi coast and Sorento. The hiking trails had beautiful views of coast and towns along the coast. Johnnie was our tour/hiking guide for the first three days and he was amazing. He has great knowledge of history, the local lore, plants and even knows locals we meet along the way. One of the most well versed guides we ever had. Highly recommend. Other parts of our tour need some attention to detail. TUI was always responsive but sometime dismissive of issues that came up. One day we had a tour set to start at 11:30 near by but a driver showed up at 8:00 am the called us saying we were late. He was planning to take us to Pompeii for a tour (which we went schedule for for two more days). With some phone calls it got sorted out but there TUI's response was something akin to "oh, glad you didn't get in the car with him...have a good day". Similar issue with meeting our guide to go to Capri. Our driver didn't know how the guide was and the guides don't carry a sign extra to identify themselves so we had no way to know and boarded the fairy to Capri without our guide. TUI called and told us our guide was still waiting for us back in Sorrento. First TUI said the guide was a woman, then one name and then another and finally that our guide was male. Eventually our guide hopped a different fairy and was able to meet up with us in Capri. Again TUI was dismissive and said something like "glad you found you guide". But the poor communication wasn't done there. Instead of us having our tickets to for the fairy to return to Sorrento, TUI had our guide carry them. So we didn't notice when our guide gave us our return tickets that it the tickets had us taking a fairy to Napoli (our belongings and hotel were still back in Sorrento). The guide caught it at the last minute and once again TUI's response was poor and dismissive "we see the guide fixed the tickets so your all set...." Several other examples but you get the idea. Accommidations were fair, not great. Multiple hotels that we stayed at said they had air conditioning but it is not like US air conditioning and really more like a fan that blows some slightly cooler air around. Plan to sleep warm at every hotel on this adventrue. This may just be an Italy thing given it was each hotel we stayed at but I don't remember places on a trip through Tuscany being hot like this. The sights were amazing. Johnnie our hiking guide was above and beyond excellent. Despite some of the issues, I would totally recommend this itinerary if you enjoy being out of the crowds some and don't mind being active for several hours of the day. The structure was nice with a hike/activity each morning and free time to roam the side-streets of the various towns on our own in the evening. I will think twice about using TUI again. In the end things did work out (as they kept saying) but at this price point, I don't expect to spend several days of my trip on the phone trying to get things corrected and sorted out.
Hiking the Amalfi Coast, Private Tour
- Local Living Italy - Amalfi Coast
A wonderful week. Great hikes, delicious food and a friendly group. Tour leader Giorgio was excellent.
- Amalfi Coast Walking - Hotel Risorgimento
Gaia our guide was wonderful . She was funny and very knowledgeable. I was thankful to be in a smaller group. The hotel staff were friendly and the hotel clean. I enjoyed drinks on the terrace. The hiking routes and accommodation was enjoyable. However, I couldn’t get a very clear answer from Tourradar when I enquired about the travel insurance I purchased. I tried a few times to obtain the information to give our guide and ended up spending another $180 on more insurance. Not sure I will use Tourradar again.
What our customers ask about Hiking & Trekking Tours & Trips in Amalfi Coast
When is the best time of year to go hiking on the Amalfi Coast?
Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) provide the most pleasant conditions for hiking with moderate temperatures and fewer tourists. The summer season brings intense heat and large crowds though some tour operators run modified routes with earlier start times and beach breaks. Winter hiking remains an option but trails can become slippery and some accommodations like Hotel Due Torri in Bomerano operate with reduced services. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The walks had breathtaking views but it was challenging in the summer heat - the early morning starts helped."
What type of accommodation can I expect on Amalfi Coast hiking tours?
Accommodations range from authentic family-operated agriturismos to well-appointed 4-star hotels. The Hotel Due Torri in Bomerano stands out as a welcoming mid-sized property while Luna d'Agerola offers an intimate 11-room setting on an active farm. Guests can expect coastal views comfortable rooms and private bathrooms. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The Hotel Due Torri was excellent - the Acampora family made us feel like part of their family and the homemade meals were incredible."
What are the most scenic hiking trails on the Amalfi Coast and what difficulty levels can I expect?
The Path of the Gods (Sentiero degli Dei) represents the region's signature trail offering moderate hiking with a 300m ascent and 400m descent across 10km. For a greater challenge the Valle delle Ferriere near Amalfi features steep rocky sections and a 1015m descent. Those seeking easier routes can take the Ravello to Amalfi path with its gentle 325m descent over 4.5km. A TourRadar traveler noted "The Path of the Gods has beautiful views along the entire route. Not as hard as I thought it was going to be."
What alternative activities are available on rest days?
Rest days open up possibilities to explore Pompeii and Herculaneum (entry around USD 35) take boat excursions to Capri (USD 44 via hydrofoil) or discover cultural sites like Ravello's Villa Rufolo gardens. Many tours include culinary experiences wine tastings and beach time. A TourRadar traveler recommended: "The optional day trip to Pompeii and Herculaneum was fascinating and a nice break from hiking. The local guides there provided incredible historical context."
What are the dining arrangements on Amalfi Coast hiking tours?
Tours typically cover daily breakfast and dinner at hotels while lunches provide chances to explore local eateries. Hotels often feature cooking demonstrations showcasing traditional Campanian dishes. A TourRadar review states: "The meals were excellent typically Italian with four courses including antipasti pasta main dish with salad and dessert. We even learned how to make the famous Neapolitan pizza."
Can I combine hiking with swimming and beach time on the Amalfi Coast?
The coastal setting allows for regular swimming breaks at beaches in Positano Amalfi and Marina di Praia. Properties like Hotel Risorgimento provide private beach access and tour schedules often include afternoon swim time post-hike. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Having the possibility to swim almost every day after hiking was perfect for cooling off and relaxing tired muscles."
