Our hike with Enzo was memorable! He led us safely through an epic hike. He was knowledgeable about the area! If and when we return to the Amalfi Coast, we will book another hike with him!

Enzo and his co-guide Daniela were both phenomenal and made us feel safe the entire journey. The views were stunning but if you have a fear of heights this would probably not be the hike for you. I loved that we also got to see a donkey, horse, goats, dogs and cats throughout the hike.

Enzo was very knowledgeable and very friendly. The highlight of the hike was stopping at a local goat farm along the trail (although away from the main trail) where we were treated with fresh goat cheese, bread, bruschetta and sweet melon. I small tip was suggested and worth every penny. I highly recommend this guided tour.

Siamo stati accompagnati oggi da Enzo sul sentiero degli dei da Agerola a Positano e posso dire che è stata un'esperienza incredibile! I paesaggi erano semplicemente stupendi e Enzo è stato una guida fantastica. È stato molto professionale, gentile e attento al gruppo, sempre pronto a verificare se avevamo difficoltà a seguire il percorso. Fare il sentiero con una guida ha fatto la differenza, perché senza di lui non avremmo saputo riconoscere tutti i luoghi che vedevamo in lontananza. Enzo ci ha raccontato storie locali e ci ha fatto scoprire alcune piante aromatiche che non conoscevamo. Abbiamo passato un bellissimo momento insieme, tra simpatia e buon umore. Enzo è stato un ottimo compagno di viaggio e ha reso l'esperienza ancora più speciale. Consiglio vivamente di prenotare una guida con Enzo per questo sentiero, ne vale davvero la pena!

Host molto gentile. Enzo si è reso disponibile durante tutto il percorso e oltre anche per richieste che andavano al di là dell’attività prevista. Per quanto riguarda il sentiero lo raccomando davvero, bellissima esperienza. Utile andare con la guida per apprezzare al meglio i panorami e non solo
