What people love about Self-Guided Tours in Amalfi Coast
The accommodations in both locations was good and so was the breakfast, however, Domo21 the rooms were warm as the air conditioning was t getting to our bedroom and I was up late a couple of night due to noice from people and children talking after 11p. The tours were great, however, the amalfi coast tour could’ve been just Positano and Amalfi. We weren’t impressed with Ravella or the ceramic factory.

The Hotel Due Torri is a wonderful family owned hotel. They welcomed us like family, Helped us with our daily itinerary and answered all our questions. The meals were Devine prepared by Giovani who is co owner of the hotel and an amazing Chef. Nicola, Giovani’s brother and co owner made us homemade Pizza and made sure all the guests were happy. Gerardo took care of our every need. The views of the coast from the walk were one of a kind. I highly recommend this tour if you want to take in all the sites of the Amalfi Coast and feel immersed in Italian culture.
