Well, i dont think that words can describe this experience. We rented a private car with driver for driving us from sorrento to prositano and continue to Amalfi-coast and back to sorrento. We had Alfredo as a driver. He was dressed very formal and very friendly. He opened and closed the door and was always available for us. He also brought us to some very nice places on the way. I would HIGHLY recommend this affordable, very professional and reliable transport service.

Andrea has been an amazing guide for our visit to Pompeii. We had tickets for 10am and the tour was scheduled to start at 11am. Andrea went out of his way to accommodate us by arranging with the other members of the group to also be there for 10am and check which parking spot and entry would work with our tickets. I appreciated his deep knowledge and relaxed, engaging style. He brought Pompeii to life. It felt more like visiting Pompeii with a good friend who is an expert. Fantastic experience. Thank you!

We booked a tour with Antonini to herculaneom, Pompei and Mount Vesuv and were welcomed with a big smile at the airport! Antonino is an exceptionally nice and knowlegeful person and shared interesting details of this region and the various historical sites throughout our trip. He picked us up at the airport and dropped us off at our hotel on the Amalfi coast. His driving is impeccable and we were happy to not have to drive ourselves as the roads are very small and curvy. We were so happy about our excursion with Antonino and would recommend anyone to book a tour with him any day.

This is my second review on this issue, as I've sent "Walks" another email in regards to their "refund policy".This really deserves to be in quotations, as many can attest they don't really have a "refund policy", only the faint promise of one, that will eventually end in a gift voucher. My query is will they continue to honor this voucher past the initial offer? Currently, and into the foreseeable future, the possibilities to book and travel for a vacation in Italy is questionable at best, with the ongoing COVID restrictions. Walks offered vouchers to 150% for the booked tours cost, or something to that tune. Though I'll bet my $400+ CAD tour that all the tours will have increased by at least 150% to cover costs associated with loss of business, and requisite costs for COVID related restrictions and cleaning measures, for your "safety". I'm still requesting that WALKS do the right thing and refund, in full, everyone's booked tours monies, as promised, and as per they're own refund policy...I'm not holding my breath. It will likely require a class action lawsuit against these turkeys. Of all our bookings to Italy, everyone of them EXCEPT Walks, honored and refunded all monies.
