Enjoy breathtaking views with this panoramic 1-day group tour on the Amalfi Coast, along the famous SS163 Amalfi road that winds along the Tyrrhenian coast. Admire spectacular views at every turn and be enchanted by the picturesque and renowned town of Positano, where the typical colored houses seem to fall from the hills. Continue along the winding road through a magical landscape, where the cultivated cliffs stand out against the sea and the villas have gardens with cascades of flowers. Explore the charming streets of Amalfi, where the marvelous 9th century cathedral dominates the main square and the bustling harbor is full of life. Also visit the hill town of Ravello, where Wagner was inspired for the composition of one of his works and the picturesque 11th century cathedral oversees the pedestrian square, while alleys and streets lead in every direction.

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.

Naples is a city rich in history ... and the Neapolitan people, endowed with an incredible fantasy, have invented a legend for everything ... !!! Starting from one of the most famous square in the center, Piazza del Gesù Nuovo, together we will discover the mystery behind the diamond-shaped stones of the facade of the Church of the Gesù, so dear to the Neapolitans for their devotion to San Giuseppe Moscati. A little further on we will meet the famous Monastery of Santa Chiara, built at the behest of Queen Sancia de Maiorca, of which the ghost still wanders the corridors of the beautiful majolica cloister. Speaking of legends, one cannot fail to mention the Sansevero Chapel ... with the extraordinary statue of the Veiled Christ and the mysterious anatomical machines preserved in his crypt ... and then again little frames, Miraculous Hair, Pulcinella masks, Skulls with ears, until you reach San Gennaro in person ... so ... curious ??

We had an amazing time exploring pompei! Rafaelle is very knowledgeable and could answer all our questions. He also was super flexible when we had to move the tour with half an hour last minute.

We took a Capri all day tour from Nerano bay. We had Maria as our tour guide. She was brilliant and very helpful. She customised the tour based on our needs & requirements. We were travelling with our 8 years old daughter & we were never rushed. She also helped us to cover most of Capri & Anacapri including a trip to Blue Grotto, the Chairlift to the mountain top & most of the other attentions. We would highly recommend her to have as a Tour guide.

Gilberto and Max of Discovery Tours provided the day trip of a lifetime to Anzio where I followed in my father's footsteps to see where he served his country in World War 2. Discovery Tours handled all the logistics, trip planning and detailed information on the battle sites and Anzio campaign with consummate professionalism. I learned much and thanks to Gilberto and Max, have a much deeper and personal understanding of the challenges my father and all other servicemen and women faced during this critical time in history. I enthusiastically recommend Discovery Tours to enrich your travel experience in the wonderful country of Italy.
