We had the most fabulous day with Dino. Truly, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We arranged a day trip to Pompeii and Vesuvian wineries and needed transportation from where we were staying on the Amalfi Coast. Dino was recommended to us by the tour and actually ended up also being who drove our larger group from Pompeii to the wineries as well. He arrived right on time and came inside our hotel in Praiano to lead us to his van (which was super nice and comfortable.) He provided chilled water and even some Prosecco for our trip home :) We learned so much from Dino, a local of the area, on our ride to and from Pompeii. We felt like we were getting a fully inclusive tour! He knew some amazing shortcuts and workarounds to the often standstill Amalfi traffic-- which was invaluable. Dino was kind enough to ensure that my husband, a coffee fiend, was able to get a taste of authentic Napolese coffee at a quick stop where he helped us choose the most delicious coffee and pastries. On the way home, Dino took us to a stunning viewpoint in Furore to take photos and enjoy Prosecco and when we discussed a well-known local winery in the Amalfi area, he offered to take us! We bought some wine and were even able to do a quick tour of the winery-- which was so above and beyond what we'd expect from a tour driver (who often seem like they can't get rid of you quick enough.) Dino truly felt more like a friend. I've already recommended him to several friends visiting the area this summer and if we were to return, there is nobody else I'd even consider using. Thanks so much, Dino!
