Amazing day touring with Alfonso

We did the semi-private tour with Alfonso, it was the best thing ever! He contacted us a few hours after booking, helped us with travel logistics of meeting in Sorento. We were staying in Castellamare which was a short train ride away. The day was fabulous, we had personal suggestions on what to do, how to navigate the different towns and enough spare time to explore on our own. Alfonso, was such a great sport, sharing history and legends about each area we travelled and ensured we were taken care of in the restaurants. I would do his tour again, it was amazing and he was the best!

FANTASTIC TRIP w/ Alfonso & Mondo Tours

Alfonso was the most outstanding tour guide. I highly recommend not only this tour, but his specific services. He went above and beyond to ensure every client had the best possible experience. Extra things like recommending a brief boat tour in Amalfi and finding the perfect, scenic lunch spot in Scala! He was personal, professional, engaging and an excellent communicator. His personal flair with additional stories and comments make his tours like no others. He communicated personally through text/call to ensure every guest had effective and often individualized transport to/from the designated meeting spot. I give Mondo Tours, but specifically Alfonso my highest recommendation! If you get the chance, book some time with Alfonso.
