Discover the Amalfi Coast at the perfect pace—walking through spectacular scenery, diving into local life, and enjoying unforgettable tastes along the way. From Roman ruins in Pompeii to climb the crater of Vesuvius, the journey starts with two iconic highlights before we ease into the coast’s quieter, more authentic corners.
We’ll follow the shoreline and the green backroads of the Lattari Mountains, stopping for fresh anchovies in Cetara, raising a glass with a limoncello-spritz in Tramonti, and soaking up the timeless beauty of Amalfi. And because this is Italy, creativity is always part of the experience—don’t miss a ceramics lesson in Minori, a hands-on moment that makes the coast feel even more personal.

We meet in Pompeii, where ancient streets and ruins invite us into Roman history. With our local guide, we explore the Forum, baths, theatre, and amphitheatre. As evening falls, we gather around the table for Naples’ most iconic dish: wood-fired pizza margherita and marinara. A simple, delicious welcome to Campania.
This morning we hike up Mount Vesuvius with a volcanologist, peering into the crater and admiring sweeping views of the Bay of Naples. Lunch awaits at Bosco de’ Medici winery: farm-fresh dishes paired with Falanghina and Lacryma Christi wines. In the afternoon, we explore the peaceful Benedictine Abbey of Corpo di Cava before dining at our hotel.
We set off on foot from our hotel, crossing chestnut woods and descending toward the sea. The path leads to Albori, one of Italy’s most beautiful hamlets, and then to Cetara, renowned for its anchovies. Lunch is a family affair with pasta and anchovies in a local trattoria. Back in Corpo di Cava, we enjoy dinner at a town restaurant.
In Tramonti, we walk through lemon groves and ancient vineyards along the Path of the 13 Churches. A farming family welcomes us with an al-fresco lunch, starting with a limoncello-spritz. Later, in Minori, we try our hand at painting ceramics — a cherished coastal tradition. Dinner is free tonight to explore on your own.
We drive to Ravello, famous for its noble villas and gardens. At Villa Cimbrone, we gaze from the infinity terrace, 400 meters above the sea. After a garden lunch, we walk downhill through lemon terraces to Amalfi and Minori. In the evening, we take the ferry to Atrani, where dinner by the sea completes the day.
If you feel like adding an extra splash of the Dolce Vita, you’ll also have the option to visit Capri and/or Positano on your own, at your own expense (ferries and tickets depending on the day and season).
A morning walk through chestnut forests brings us to the Valley of the Mills, once home to Amalfi’s medieval paper makers. Lunch in Pontone offers focaccia, vegetables, pecorino, and lemon dessert. After free time in Amalfi, we end with a farewell feast at a farmhouse, where Raffaella and Aniello make mozzarella before serving dinner among the vineyards.
After breakfast, a private transfer takes us to Naples train station or airport. With one last glimpse of the coast, we carry home memories of volcanoes, villages, and seaside feasts.
A refined 4-star hotel at the edge of the archaeological park, with elegant marble interiors and terraces overlooking the ruins. The perfect place to begin your journey back in time.
Nestled in a medieval hamlet near the Benedictine Abbey, this historic hotel blends centuries-old charm with modern comforts. Here, silence, mountain air, and timeless beauty set the mood.
An elegant 4-star boutique hotel on the coast, balancing history and contemporary design. Just steps from the sea, it’s the perfect base to explore Amalfi, Ravello, and Atrani — and to savor gelato in the evening passeggiata.
Villa Romana in Minori is a small but memorable Amalfi Coast gem, just steps from the seafront. Inside, you’ll see beautiful mosaics and traces of frescoes that bring daily Roman life back into view. It’s the perfect quick cultural stop between lemon-scented lanes and coastal scenery.
This is not just a walking tour — it’s a gourmet journey. Every day we sit at the tables of family-run trattorie or farms, tasting recipes that have been handed down for generations. From pizza baked in Naples’ wood-fired ovens to mozzarella still warm from the cheesemaker’s hands, the Amalfi Coast reveals itself most authentically through its food.
Naples is the birthplace of pizza, and here we honor tradition. A thin, soft crust with puffy edges, San Marzano tomatoes, fresh basil, extra-virgin olive oil, and mozzarella di bufala create the margherita — simplicity perfected. The marinara, even more essential, has no cheese at all, only tomato, garlic, oregano, and oil. Eaten hot from a wood oven, it’s a taste of history.
In Campania, mozzarella is not just cheese — it’s a masterpiece of freshness. Made daily from buffalo milk, it is delicate, creamy, and slightly tangy. We visit a small farmhouse where Raffaella shows us how it’s made, then enjoy it at the table with tomatoes, bread, and local wine. It doesn’t get more “farm-to-table” than this.
The Tyrrhenian Sea gives generously: calamari, fresh and tender, fried in a light batter until golden and crisp. A squeeze of Amalfi lemon brightens every bite. Simple, irresistible, and best enjoyed in a seaside trattoria where fishermen bring in their catch at dawn.
Espresso here is a ritual. Neapolitans take it short, strong, and with a thick crema on top. In historic cafés or at a standing counter, it’s always accompanied by a smile and often a sweet pastry. On the coast, we savor our coffee with sfogliatella — a flaky pastry filled with ricotta and citrus zest — or with the soft, rum-soaked babà.
Bite into this iconic pastry and you’ll hear the crunch of countless layers. Whether the shell-shaped riccia or the smooth frolla, sfogliatella is filled with sweetened ricotta and candied citrus, carrying the fragrance of the coast. Best enjoyed warm from the bakery with a dusting of sugar and a view of the sea.
The volcanic soils of Vesuvius and the terraces of the Amalfi Coast produce unforgettable wines. We taste Falanghina and Greco di Tufo, crisp whites perfect with seafood, and reds like Aglianico or Taurasi, bold and complex. The local specialty, Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio (“Tears of Christ”), carries centuries of legend in every glass.
Matteo was born and raised in a small village in the Amalfi coast.
He grew up in a family that takes food in big consideration. Infact along the Amalfi trip we visit and enjoy the restaurant of her cousin Raffaella, in a beautiful setting, exactly where Matteo was born and lived.
Matteo is an avis walker. He is part of a volounteering organization that takes care of the maintenance of the trails of this beautiful place. His hobby is playing soccer. How about kicking the ball with him??
Rudy was born in Colle Val d’Elsa, a town between Siena and Florence. He began working as a cycling guide and then as a professional nature guide. He is a Yoga teacher and passionate about natural medicine. He studied kinesiology, shiatsu, craniosacral therapy and has completed a master’s degree in osteopathy.
Now he is studying photojournalism and nature photography because he wants to combine four great passions: photography, travel, people, animals.
Erica was born in San Gimignano from Italian dad and Scottish mum.
Her background is as Sales Executive in an export company but after 10 years she decided to leave the office, change her life and make a job out of her passions: walking, nature, art, living outdoor and meeting new people and cultures.
Now Erica is a licensed hiking and city guide and her aim is to let you love Tuscany as much as she does!
Roberto was born and raised in a small village on Amiata mountain, 50 miles south of Siena. Although his background is in biology he is very keen on traditions and history of Tuscany.
His passion is climbing. He is a climbing instructor and rescuer. Do not worry! He is happy to walk with you on flat terrain.
Roberto is definitely a people-person. He took several courses at “The Academy of Experiential Education” about “group dynamics”.
Lorenzo has been guiding tours since 1999. He then earned his master degree in foreign languages and literature.He is fondly in love with Tuscany. However he also enjoys exploring the rest of the world and that’s what he does in his spare time, together with studying, reading and writing.

Amalfi Coast Food and Walking Tour
Our Walk About Italy tour of the Amalfi coast was simply one of the best holidays we’ve ever had! The locally produced fresh food was delicious, healthy and plentiful. Local wines and beer flowed, and nonalcoholic options were available. The views were stunning. Our guides were knowledgeable. The walks were well suited to people who were used to walking. Each person received the assistance and encouragement they needed. We are looking forward to another tour with Walk About Italy in the future.
Best tour I have ever had
I cannot rate this walking/tour company highly enough. They definitely go the extra mile. The guides are informative, kind, patient and accommodating. The group size was great. Staff at each hotel as well as the staff at Walk about Italy, are prompt to answer emails and accommodating when things suddenly change. The atmosphere was fun throughout the trip. It was a 6 day walking tour Amalfi Coast. I also think that the price we paid was reasonable for all that we received. I would walk with this company again.
Incredible way to see Italy!
We took two trips with Walk About Italy and our amazing guides throughout Italy. We started with the Amalfi Coast and finished with the islands of Silicy. It is the best group tour we have ever taken! Everything.was extremely planned with unique lunches and dinners at orchards, vineyards and farms along with quaint restaurants. Our guides kept up with events and changed plans according to crowds and fun things to see. The hikes chosen were amazing and designed for all levels. Highly recommend this group.
Amalfi coast walk
Beautiful scenery. Knowledgeable guides. Rudi and Erica know how to engage the clients so all of us strangers from different countries felt like friends and family. This is an off the beaten path tour and even when we had to go to popular attractions, it was timed when the places were not crowded. Places to eat were chosen well so no meal was the same. Wear hiking shoes and practice on your StairMaster!
Best experience with the best guides
Cannot praise or recommend this tour enough, fabulous from start to finish, two amazing guides Erica and Matteo, a fantastic immersive experience I will treasure forever! This your ticks every box grazie mille Gianni
Wonderful Amalfi Walk
My wife and I recently completed our third Walk About Italy and we loved it. Gianni organizes walks that are off the beaten path and uses fantastic local guides so we feel like we really experience Italy instead of just seeing heavily touristed areas. All of the food is plentiful and delicious! On this trip we visited a farm for lunch that was truly farm to table - fresh and amazing. A big bonus of these walks is the people we meet and share such wonderful experiences with. Thank you to our fellow walkers and our guides Erica, Gianni, and Matteo for providing more great memories of Italy.
