We were a party of four traveling in the Amalfi Coast area. We used Astarita for Three Transfers and one full day tour.
1.st from Naples Train Station to our Air B and B in Sorrento. Our Driver was Mauro. Mauro was exactly where we were told he would be, and holding a sign with our name on it. It was raining and he carefully manoeuvred all of us and our luggage to the van and drove us to Sorrento and helped get the luggage into our Air B and B.
The Mercedes Van was Clean, the Driver polite, informative and professional. A Fresh bottle of water was in the cup holder for each of us. He told us history of Pompeii and the area as we passed thru.
2. Next day we were met by Salvatore. He was waiting for us right where Mauro had dropped us off. We went from Sorrento to Positano. It was a bit of a challenge to find the Air B and B in Positano, but Salvatore was able to communicate with our host in Italian and drive us to the location and help with all the luggage again. We made several stops along with way as we had to wait for our permitted time to drive into Positano. Salvatore chose great photo opportunities and explained many formations along the coast.
3. Our next adventure was with Mauro again. And again, he picked us up right where Salvatore had dropped us a few days earlier. I had simply told Barbara, of Astarita, that I wanted to go south to Amalfi and Ravello plus visit a winery. She took charge and arranged the whole day. I must say we were in three countries and this was probably our best day. We had a full day leaving Positano, thru to the town of Amalfi and had time to look around and have a coffee. we saw other smaller villages. Drove into the hills to Ravello. We had plenty of time in the Plaza in Ravello to visit the Duomo and shop all we wanted, Then we wound our way thru the countryside to the Beautiful winery of Tunuta for four course lunch and pairings, Delicious wine and food. Sadly, we had to leave and casually returned to Positano with a stop along the way. Mauro was a joy to spend time with and I consider him more a friend than a driver.
4. The next day, Mauro arrived right on time again and drove us to Naples airport. Handled our baggage and we sadly said Ciao.
I had read many reviews of car services, and we were so pleased with this Great business, we highly recommend Barbara and her crew at Astarita. All four vans were Mercedes Benz and spotless. Plenty of room for four adults who had too much luggage.
Thank you, Barbara, Mauro and Salvatore
