We visited Campania for the first time in January of 2023. As a part of our vacation, we spent a couple of days touring the Amalfi Coast with Carmine. If you are able, we highly recommend taking a private tour of Pompeii with his business partner and friend, Paolo. This is how we spent our first afternoon in the area after being picked up by Carmine at the Naples train station. The following morning, we met again for his famous Amalfi Coast Secret Tour.
I think it is important to note that Carmine is a very safe driver (critical to feeling safe in the mountains), and is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about the region. You can truly tell he takes great pleasure in sharing his culture and its landscape with others. Carmine was very informative and gave us plenty of time to take in the sights at each stop. He even (unbeknownst to me) picked out the perfect romantic spot for my (now) fiancé to propose! Carmine was kind enough to video the experience, so we will have that memory to look back on forever. Our time with him was the highlight of our vacation. We will definitely be returning to southern Italy again in the future, and when we begin to plan the trip, one of our first calls will be to Carmine. 10/10
