Steep terraced hillsides line the blue-green gulf of Salerno, and a heady sweetness fills the air. Who knew that any walk could rival the tour of Pompeii? Yet here you are, perched above a sea of Sfusato Amalfitano lemons—a rare local variety with a sweet floral scent. Jaw-dropping scenery surrounds you as you as you trace ancient mule paths through terraced hillsides, beneath limestone peaks—the island of Capri and crystalline waters serve as the backdrop. Pause trailside at a local farm, where our friends welcome you for lunch. Under the pergola on their terrace, enjoy homemade grilled sausages, vine-ripened tomatoes and greens, local pecorino or mozzarella cheese, and a glass of homemade limoncello—the perfect inspiration for completing this iconic trail. Your walking tour takes you on to Sorrento, Capri, and the rest of this beguilingly beautiful coast.
Highlights
- Stroll the stunning gardens immortalized by Wagner in his opera Parsifal at the Villa Rufolo.

Positive Impact
Country Walkers is proud to support Soccorso Alpino e Speleologico della Campania with a donation on behalf of each guest on this tour. In addition to food, we also put safety first on the Amalfi Coast. The trails and ridges of the Sorrentine Peninsula, above the busy coast, are surprisingly unpopulated and represent a large area for the local mountain search and rescue corps to service. Mainly relying on local volunteers and donations, your contributions help the rescue team obtain and maintain equipment for rapid emergency response to visitors and locals alike.

The Italy: Pompeii, Capri, & Amalfi Coast tour was a wonderful experience! Our guides Constantino and Vincenzo were knowledgeable, experienced, professional, and caring. Their lived local experiences provided incomparable insights that elevated the tour to the next level. The well thought out itinerary provided a perfect combination of hiking, culture and history, town and country exploration, and down time. The accommodations were also lovely with hospitable and warm welcoming staff. I highly recommend this tour!
Italy: The Amalfi Coast & Capri
My wife and I are accomplished travelers who have visited Africa, Scandinavia, most of Europe, the Caribbean, USA, Australia and New Zealand. We have successfully planned and organized our trips ourselves. We decided to work with Country Walkers for our trip to the Amalfi Coast of Italy for a number of reasons. Our daughter and son-in-law visited there a number of years ago and told us of logistical problems with rental cars, traffic, parking and crowds. We like to hike and while they hiked and back-tracked to their car we didn’t want to do that. We wanted our luggage moved…
