Secret Walks of Positano
Description
Meet the guide on the upper side of the village, leave the tourists and the hustlers for a well-deserved break, follow the locals who hike 20 minutes from the touristy main beach, pass by a 13th-century fort from pirate days, to enjoy the less popular Fornillo Beach. From there you'll be taken “Downtown Positano” with its fine shops and restaurants down to another delightful beach. Start to walk uphill where you’ll find lots of ceramic shops on this street, sandal and shoe makers, along with galleries featuring the work of local artists. You will approach the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, originally the abbey of Positano’s 10th-century Benedictine monastery. Across the lane, Hotel Palazzo Murat fills what was once a grand Benedictine monastery. The tour will end at the best pastry shop of the town, where we will taste delicacies such as the Lemon Delice, Tiramisù or the Rhum Baba.

Luciana was a fabulous tour guide. She shared so much of the history of Positano and her experiences growing up there as a guide. We visited all the key highlights and historic churches. I would definitely recommend!
Lucia is a local who shared a lot of first hand knowledge and history about Positano. I enjoyed the way she conveyed the Italian culture and traditions. She was very fun and engaging to listen to and was willing to tailor the tour to what we wanted to see. She offered to take a lot of pictures of us at the best spots. I think it's good to do the tour at the beginning of your stay as she gives a good layout of the area.

Our family arrived in Positano on a Sunday evening, we chose an early morning walking tour with the guide Giulia the day after. It did not disappoint. she was very knowledgeable regarding local customs, history, typical products, best shopping places, family-owned restaurants, and their associated history. I believe she really made this tour enjoyable giving us a total different point of view. She was personable and so sweet. She gave us a wonderful start to a beautiful and very enjoyable week.
