Thrills of the Amalfi Coast
Italy’s Amalfi Coast is one of the most thrilling places on earth. You will live on the edge, in postcard-perfect towns like Positano that cling (very solidly!) to near-vertical slopes. The stupendous views will teach you what “breathtaking” means. Your expert local guide will lead you on walks through groves of lemon trees sagging under softball-sized fruits and share tales of history that stretch to the Roman emperor Tiberius and beyond. We can’t wait for you to experience your own version of some of our favorite moments on our popular Amalfi Coast cultural walking adventure.
Pizza On The Precipice
You’ve had pizza before, but not like this. In the hills above Sorrento, our friends are waiting to welcome you to their organic farm where all sorts of delicious seasonal fruits and vegetables are grown. The wood-fired oven in their kitchen is hot and ready. Together, you’ll learn to toss a little pizza dough, cover it with fresh local mozzarella, and care not a bit of the finished shape is not quite a perfect circle. After all, your homemade lunch is sure to be one of the best pizzas you’ve ever had, all while admiring the scenic views from their beautiful property… Buon Appetito!
Stepping Into Pompeii
Explore Pompeii, which was ground zero of the 79 AD eruption, on foot at eye level. You’ll hardly believe how expansive it is and that it was buried deeply for centuries. In the company of a private archeologist guide, learn all about the excavation process as you stroll through the city that seems so real, that you can practically see and feel the ancient life that was lived here. It’s a privilege to get such a personal view of Pompeii as well as an up-close and humbling brush with history for an unforgettable day.
Toast The Limoncello Life
You can’t leave Amalfi without learning about (and sipping) some of the coast’s famed limoncello. Our local friends will welcome you into their small factory, where they create some of the region’s finest limoncello. You’ll see how the giant local lemons are condensed down to the gold liqueur and learn about the lemon growing process that has been passed down from generation to generation. Enjoy a taste by raising an icy shot glass and toasting the little piece of your heart that you’ll leave on the Amalfi Coast…salute!
