The Best of Ravello: Private Tour with an Expert Local Guide

Roberto was delightful! He is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and generous with his time. We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour with him.

Roberto Musio is an incredibly friendly, knowledgeable guide, and he made our visit to Ravello truly memorable. He fascinated us with his explanations of Ravello's history, architecture, and evolution. I was especially taken with the beauty of the Villa Cimbrome and the Villa Rufulo plus the extraordinary views from their gardens of the Amalfi Coast and the dazzling Mediterranean Sea. He made sure we saw all the Ravello highlights and explained to us their history as he pointed out their defining characteristtics. It was all so richly informatives, yet not at all overwhelming. One other important point: There were some people with trouble walking in our little group, and Roberto was able to pace things just right for them while keeping all of us engaged with what he was saying along the way. A wonderful tour guide!

Combined this tour and the Amalfi Coast with Roberto commencing by boat from Salerno. Roberto continuously explained the sights of the Amalfi Coast and answered my questions regarding the scenery and topography. The town of Amalfi lies below Ravello and it was an excellent choice by Roberto to combine the two tours. Ravello is on my bucket list for the Dawn concert and annual musical festival held on a protruding stage over the Tyrrhenian Sea held at Villa Rufulo. The journey to Ravello covered several miles on twisting roads by taxi to Ravello's Piazza Duomo. Roberto pointed out interesting aspects of the central town as we started the trek up to the Villa Cimbrone. The walkway was challenging but steps well laid out. At the gardens of Villa Cimbrone, the effort to arrive at the gardens was rewarded with statuary and spectacular views of the Mediterranean and Amalfi coast Roberto carefully explained the history of the Villa's and pointed out notable shops and other interesting spots.

Roberto took us along the Amalfi coast which included Positano, Amalfi and Rovello. He gauged the traffic and people congestion to get the most from our time. His historical knowledge was exceptional.

Roberto was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable about Ravello and the region in general. He was also very flexible, and was willing to tailor the tour to my family’s specific needs. I would absolutely take another tour with him, and recommend him to anyone else.

Roberto was a great guide for our afternoon in Ravello! He is very knowledgeable about the history of the city, and is engaging and personable. He grew up on the Amalfi coast and has a PhD in archeology. He is a great resource! It was an easy-paced walk; there were some stairs throughout. All members of our party really enjoyed the tour.
