Guide was very personable, spoke great English, and shared her knowledge of the history, culture, and lifestyle of Salerno. I learned things that I didn’t find in guidebooks. Walking through back alleys and quiet squares was a glimpse into the life of a local. Highly recommend this tour.
Alessia is an outstanding guide with a deep knowledge of Salerno. She is also a very empathetic person who really assisted my wife, who has limited mobility. 🙌👏😊
Alessia was a great tour guide. We learned so much about Salerno that we would have not known without her knowledge. The church was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. 100% recommended if you are in Salerno.
Alessia was a true joy to have as an expert in local Salerno history. She was also very personable and made a great connection with our group who included family and 2 others from our cruise ship.
Alessi was very kind, fun and very knowledgeable. She went out of her way to customize the tour around our interests. Her English was very good and she was very accommodating. We highly recommend her tour. Our ONLY regret is that we forgot to tip her before we left. She deserves extra for her efforts.
An amazing experience from a local history major. So worth exploring the old town into the new and finding hidden history. Our guide, Alessia, was very well spoken. She loved questions both current and historical. Everyone seemed to enjoy her tour. Just a wonderful way to spend a few hours getting insider tips on Salerno. Highly recommend this walking tour. Note, a few steps up into a church but otherwise the typical incline of streets. Beware of local drivers, they seem out to take out pedestrians.
Please did a wonderful job educating us on the history of Salerno. She was friendly and did a great job answering any questions we had.
This was a fantiastic introduction to Salerno! Not all tourist sites recommend visiting Salerno, and after this tour, I think skipping it is a mistake. Alessia is an energetic, engaging, informative, and knowledgeable guide who really brought Salerno to life for me. She spent more time with us than was promised, sharing info about history, architecture, and religion. At the end of the tour, she helped the group find restaurants and other sites of interest. I highly recommend this tour!
So much fun visiting Salerno and Alesia, our guide communicated with me immediately upon receiving my reservation. She was fantastic! She was informative and took us to many interesting spots we would not have gone on our own. Such a great way to spend the evening and get to know the history of this beautiful city of Salerno.
Ali provided a great overview of the city in its history. We were so impressed with the Saint Matthews Cathedral‘s in the details she shared withus and the things she pointed out. She also gave us some great tips for places to eat.
