This tour is by far the best way to see the Amalfi Coast in a day. We were extremely lucky to have Davide as our guide. Davide tailored the tour perfectly to our interests and gave us excellent information and guidance without being overbearing. We never felt rushed and the combination of guided/personal time was perfect. We had an absolute blast and could not recommend this tour, with Davide, more.Amalfi with Davide

Mariagrazia was a perfect guide for the day. She met us at our hotel in Naples and worked with us on the agenda for the day. We did not have any "must do" for the day but were able to describe our idea of a "good day" and she did the rest.
The whole day was amazing. Mariagrazia was full of information about the region. She navigated the roads, stops, and restaurant for us. I really only have glowing things to say about the experience. She was also very gracious with our two young daughters that wanted some beach time and to do some singing in the car.
I would book another tour with Mariagrazia without hesitation.Fantastic Day on Amalfi Coast

We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip to the Amalfi coast with Davide! He was an excellent tour guide and shared his wealth of information. The small group of 8 worked well and we got to spend a bit more time in both Amalfi and Positano. The Amalfi coast is spectacular and this tour is worth the money. Davide recommended a great bistro. He also entertained us with his stories about the best lemons in Amalfi.
Excellent Service

From the beginning of planning Davide was attentive and responded quickly. He put together everything we wanted and checked in to make sure all was ok. Our driver, Antonio, was outstanding. He made modifications as needed on the fly to make everything in his control as perfect as possible. They both wanted us to have the best experience possible. We loved all of our stops including Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius and wonderful wine tasting on one day. Another day was Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi. Antonio suggested a Grotto stop and we ate so glad we did it. They were prompt, courteous, caring and personal. We highly recommend them.Great day trips from Naples

Mariagrazia was very nice, but she was more a driver than a tour guide.
This is what the itinerary said what was in store for us: Check out from viewpoints, nature, and cultural gems such as Villa Oplonti, Positano and Amalfi plus other stops your local host has prepared for you along the way. Unfortunately, the description did not match the actual tour. We had three stops and got back to Naples 45 minutes before the tour was to end.
Stop 1 was to try fresh mozzarella and cheese. Loved this! Our next stop was Positano but it seemed like she really didn't want to be go there and she stayed in the car for the hour that we explored the seaside town. Then it was off to Amalfi where we ate lunch at her cousin's restaurant that has an incredible water view. It also was the most expensive restaurant we ate at during our entire trip. After our lunch we were told we could explore the town for an hour. Our tour guide stayed behind in the restaurant and we went out again on our own without a guide. Since we had paid for a tour guide, we did not research what to do in the towns because that is what a tour guide is for, right? We never visited Villa oplonti and the description of the tour states that tickets for Villa Oplontis are included.
Just OK

We had a great day. We didn’t have any previous ideas of what to see other than watching a TV show about the area. Mariagrazia knew the show and took us to places better than the show. She showed us Her Amalfi coast. Every where we went we got special treatment because we were with Mariagrazia. From flexible restaurant reservations to preferred water taxi’s. I highly recommend. Great trip to Amalfi Coast

We had a great time with Mariagrazia. Her communication was great prior to our day with her. She was also able to adjust the pickup spot to make it easier for us. While on our trip, she was awesome at pointing out history and local points of interest. She took us to a cheese factory and we were able to see mozzarella being made and we even were able to try the cheese right from the production line. You can’t get any fresher than that! She also took us to try some local sweets that were amazing. I could go on and on as we experienced much more than what I have noted, however, I wanted to at least call the places that we would have never experienced if we were a part of a big tour group.
It was fun because she engaged all of us and had some fun conversations with our kids and our youngest about video games.
This was our third time using With Locals and it did not disappoint. It is so much better as Mariagrazia didn’t take the “normal” tourist route which would have added a lot of driving time and less time experiencing the local culture. We cannot recommend her enough as we had a great day with her!
Fun experience seeing the Amalfi coast

We had a wonderful and relaxing day with Mariagrazia as she drove us to see the towns along the Amalfi Coast. We met up with her at the Central Naples train station and then headed to Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi where we wandered a bit I. Town and enjoyed a delicious seaside lunch and Ravello, where we toured the Villa Rufala which to me was the most beautiful location.
She gave us lots of information along the way about the culture, the history, the sea and land, the food, seems like everyone knew her everywhere we stopped as well, which was fun. Heading back we stopped in the side of the road for the best lemon ice I’ve ever had. And she helped my husband find the sunglasses he was hoping to buy while in Italy nearby, too.
Thank you Mariagrazia for sharing your coast with us for a day!Fabulous day trip to Amalfi Coast

Mariagrazia was absolutely amazing. My husband and I had about Amalfi but Mariagrazia showed us Amalfi Coast. She was so knowledgeable about the area. We let her guide us and what time it was. We tasted fresh mozzarella and ricotta cheese😻
Fresh figs. Toured a beautiful grotto. Had the most delicious lemon slush.
Lunch was FANTASTIC!!! We let her choose and it was the best meal!!
We also learned a lot of Italian. Mariagrazia is the best you could ask for in a tour guide. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Best day ever!!

We had a wonderful day trip with Mariagrazia. She was so attentive to our 7 year old, he absolutely loved her. One of the highlights was a fantastic pizza and seafood lunch where we played Uno, all trying to win a round! We knew in advance some of the places we wanted to visit but she also had some ideas that we wouldn’t have known about and expertly drove us between stops, ensuring that we saw everything without ever being rushed. We would highly recommend a tour with Mariagrazia.

Mariagrazia was terrific. She picked four of us (two couples) up in Sorrento and took us on a tour of the Amalfi coast. She was very knowledgeable and very charming. Stopping along the route she would pull over and let us take breathtaking photos. Also stopped at a little fruit vendor where we had fresh squeezed orange juice and bought some fruit. We stopped at a very nice ceramic shop and next door took a quick side venture to the Green Grotto - very cool. Our other stops were in Positano and Amalfi. In Amalfi she joined us for lunch at her favorite restaurant where everyone knew her and we had a very nice lunch. Afterwards, we were taken back to the kitchen after the meal to pose for pictures with the chef and crew. Then time to wander around Amalfi. We were running low on time due to our schedule and a later start, so we had to miss Ravello (next time!). But we did stop in another great seaside town on the way back. Mariagrazia was the perfect host and great driver, we felt very confident with her behind the wheel as the traffic on the Amalfi coast is crazy. Highly recommend Mariagrazi and With Locals. A wonderful day with a wonderful driver

Our party of four adults (mom, dad, and 2 college students) had a great time with Mariagrazia on our driving tour of Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi. She took us to the best photo sites, places to eat/snack, shopping, and local attractions. We also skipped the crowds and dined at her cousin’s seaside restaurant in Amalfi, but there was absolutely no pressure to dine there—all itinerary decisions were made by us guests. A great resource, I would definitely book Mariagrazia again! Fabulous Day Trip to Amalfi

My wife and I had the pleasure of taking a tour of the Amalfi Coast with Mariagrazia. She was a fantastic guide that went above and beyond to provide us with a unique experience tailored you our specific requests, including a surprise stop along the way in her hometown where we were able to sample and purchase some delicious local cheese. On top of that, we were able to taste some amazing grilled artichokes being sold on the street, which was a real treat.
Throughout the day, we stopped at various local shops and were able to enjoy a fantastic lunch right on the ocean. As if all of this wasn't enough, Mariagrazia even took us on a short tour of Napoli before saying our goodbyes.
Overall, the tour was absolutely wonderful, and our guide was incredibly fun, knowledgeable and an absolute delight. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the Amalfi Coast and experience some of the local culture and cuisine. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Going to the amalfi coast via a private tour is one of the best decisions we made! Maria Grazie was very knowledgeable and accommodating towards our request and needs. Even though she wasn’t feeling too well that day, she still stayed present and introduced the Amalfi coast so well.

Our day began with my Dad, Fiancé and I meeting our wonderful travel manager Mariagrazia at the train station were she collected us. Instantly her friendly personality put as at ease as we set off into a mixture of cheese, Limoncello and chocolate tasting. Having Maria with us gave us a whole new perspective and real insight what it could be like to be a local in the region. Maria was very proactive and booked a wonderful seaside restaurant for us to enjoy lunch in the Amalfi Coast.
Furthermore, it’s worth noting her driving skills are fantastic, the roads may twist and turn but she got us there without feeling sick (which is impressive as we normally do on similar roads).
I strongly recommend Maria as she truly made our trip memorable. Amazing day trip to Amalfi Coast

My husband and I spent all day with Mariagrazia exploring the Amalfi coast. She picked us up very close to our apartment in Naples and drove us in her very nice, comfortable car to begin our adventure. She is an excellent driver and we felt safe in her capable hands on the narrow, twisting roads.
She provided us with many opportunities to take pictures and view the panoramic scenery. Lunch was delicious at a waterfront restaurant in Amafi. We toured the Doumo and tasted Limoncello.
After a last stop in delightful Ravello we returned to Naples. Mariagrazia is a friendly, charming person and speaks perfect English. We highly recommend her tour. You will not be disappointed.Wonderful day with Mariagrazia

My husband and I traveled from L.A. to Naples to celebrate our 43rd wedding anniversary. We requested Mariagrazia through Withlocals. She arrived on time(even a little early) and picked us up at our hotel. We spent the whole day together. Mariagrazia speaks English fluently. She also graciously allowed me to try my beginner Italian. Mariagrazia brought us to the most beautiful places on the Amalfi Coast. We saw much more than we would have on a bus tour. Mariagrazia planned our tour always with our wishes in mind. We appreciated all of her suggestions. They were wonderful. Please choose Mariagrazia. She will help you to make your dreams of Italy come true!A Dream Come True with Mariagrazia
