Salerno Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Great tour. Boat ride is highly recommended. Our guide Ashwini was amazing. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Our driver Guiseppe was a pro.

This was great! The three stops were fairly far from our cruise port, so it was nice to have a driver. Our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable, the stops were beautiful, and the boat option is absolutely worth it. We had a whole new perspective of the Amalfi coast from the boat.

10/10 experience was fantastic I would recommend and do it again you get time to swim and explore the amafi coast the drivers have incredible hospitality

Super nice guides. Would definitely recommend and do it again.

Definitely worth going up Vesusius as the views from the top across the surrounding countryside and into the crater are spectacular. The coach takes you most of the way up but there is still a good 45 minute to an hour, perhaps more, depending on you fitness, walk up from the car park. The path is pretty steep for most of the way and can be slippery. So take good shoes! Pompeii ruins are amazing and cover a very large area. So probably not realistic or necessary to try to see it all. This tour provided you with an audio guide. That was OK. However, if I was going it is again I would pay to have an actual guide. We did this at Herculaneum and it worked better for us.

It was my first paragliding flight and it was a unique experience. Carlo was super professional, immediately put me at ease, and explained everything to me. Flying is an emotion that cannot be described, a breathtaking view that I can't wait to experience again... Thanks again to Carlo and Ermanno.

This was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The host Adriana put us at our ease from the start, from the visit to the market to enjoying our pasta making efforts. Nonna Maria is truly amazing and made the pasta making element fun and informative. We were made to feel very much at home with the family, and loved preparing the produce with Nonna that we’d collected from the market. Being shown how to cook the sauces to accompany our pasta was great, and we will definitely be taking home those skills and sharing with friends and family. The class location is truly stunning and it’s apparent that they have paid great attention to detail. Making pasta with such fabulous views and then being served on plates that the owner had designed herself was really special. Would highly recommend this class to everyone as we had a great time and will be talking about the memories we made for many years to come .

There are not enough words to describe yesterday's emotion. For my birthday, I received the best gift ever: a spectacular flight that made me touch the sky with a finger, and I could not have asked for better! Flying is always fantastic, but doing it with an exceptional pilot like Carlo completely changes the experience. He is not only an extraordinary pilot with impeccable professionalism and great technical competence, but he has the rare ability to convey absolute serenity from the very first moment you get on board. From takeoff, he conveys a confidence, precision, and passion for flight that are incredibly contagious, combined with an extraordinary level of care for the passenger: attentive, reassuring, and capable of making you enjoy every single second of the journey. The trip was perfect, very smooth, and incredibly evocative: a mix of crazy scenery, exceptional comfort, and incredible adrenaline managed with the utmost professionalism. Looking at the world from above, guided by his mastery, was a magical experience, a perfect combination of professionalism and passion that deserves to be praised. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to experience the thrill of flight in total safety and is looking for a memorable experience: you are definitely in the right place. The absolute best! THANK YOU SO MUCH 💕

Great way to have a nice and relaxed pace to see the coast and jump in the water at a few private areas to swim. Our skipper Marco was super attentive and shared plenty of insights and stories about the different towns along the coast. Really enjoyed our time!

Perfection - everything & more. Our captain was equally adorable, knowledgeable & helpful. Water was unbelievable & our stops gorgeous.

A very beautiful experience in which I had a lot of fun, also thanks to the guides who gave us time to dive or swim. During the stops, they explained the place very well, explaining the history to us.

A fantastic all-day boat experience. Seeing the Amalfi Coast not from the road but traveling along it from the sea is a unique and rare thing. Captain Max and his first mate Beppe were magnificent, not to say superb. Engaging, professional, but also just familiar enough to make the whole atmosphere magical. We even felt pampered by them because of how they met our requests, and at times they even anticipated them themselves, a sign of a keen human sensitivity that is unfortunately very rare to find today. They explained the places to us, let us dive and swim in many unique spots, and wisely instructed us; they let us experience the thrill of swimming in Pandora's Cave and getting close to look at the corals. They guided us almost hand-in-hand on what to focus our eyes on and what to do in the different places, avoiding us wasting time on useless things. They gave us a gift. A dream. Even Andrea, the owner, unlike others, proved from the very beginning to be willing to understand our. Needs, and there was a way to build it together for the best success of the experience based on our budget. Very well-deserved five stars.

Antinello was exceptional and very knowledgeable abd a careful driver

The cooking class at Ubbipò was one of the highlights of our trip and an experience I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for genuine Italian hospitality, authenticity, and tradition. It truly felt like spending the day cooking with family rather than attending a class.Our experience started with a visit to the local market, where Adriana guided us through the local products we could choose from and even let us taste some products we didn't knew (like a local fig). After buying everything that we needed, we headed to Ubbipò: a beautiful B&B/osteria on a hill with breathtaking views over the surrounding hills and the sea.From the moment we arrived, Adriana and her family welcomed us with such warmth and kindness that we immediately felt at home. Nonna patiently showed us how to prepare fresh pasta, a delicious pomodoro sauce and stuffed zucchini flowers. Adriana made sure to translate to perfect English whenever needed cause Nonna only speaks italian but that made the experience only more authentic!Nonna was especially sweet for our son of 8 years old: she helped him with love and patience throughout the cooking class and turns out he is a born pastamaker :D.The class takes place mostly on their beautiful terrace, surrounded by stunning views. Also everyone of Adriana's family came to meet and chat with us during the cooking class, we really felt like home! Once everything was ready, a beautifully set table awaited us, where we enjoyed our meal, accompanied by a good local wine.If you want to experience authentic Italian family life, local food and genuine warmth, then Ubbipò is an experience you simply shouldn't miss!

We had the pleasure of taking a private boat tour with Umberto and Simone from Petruccelli Sea Service, and it was one of the highlights of our trip.From start to finish, everything was seamless. Communication was excellent, the meeting point was easy to find, and both Umberto and Simone were incredibly friendly, professional, and accommodating. They made us feel completely relaxed and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the experience.They stopped multiple times so we could swim, took amazing photos and videos for us, and even let us play our own music while cruising along the coast. It truly felt like a personalized experience, and they went above and beyond to make the day special.If you’re looking for an unforgettable private boat tour, I can’t recommend Petruccelli Sea Service enough. This is a memory my girlfriend and I will cherish for the rest of our lives.

Guido our boat operator did a great job showing us the Amalfi coast. He gave us lots of history of the area. We had stops to swim, saw caves and were able to stop in Amalfi and Portofino for shopping and lunch.
