Private Hiking Tour on the Path of the Gods from Your Chosen Location
Discover a Legendary Walk Above the Amalfi
The Path of the Gods is one of the most evocative hiking trails in Europe. The path winds through wild and lush Mediterranean vegetation, where vineyards, terraced olive groves, citrus orchards and lemon trees blend harmoniously with the natural landscape.
Beyond its spectacular cliffs and dramatic drops into the sea, the Amalfi Coast still preserves untouched areas where nature remains pure. Since the Middle Ages, local communities have adapted their lives to these remote and rugged locations, creating a unique balance between human presence and the environment.
This hike is suitable for anyone in good physical condition, regardless of age, and offers an unforgettable journey into the ancient rural soul of the Amalfi Coast.
From Bomerano to Nocelle: The Classic Route
Your day begins with a licensed tour driver who will meet you at your chosen departure point. You will then travel comfortably across the Lattari Mountains to reach the trailhead.
The hike starts in Bomerano, one of the highest villages along the coast. From here, you will follow approximately 5 miles (about 3.5 hours) of trail to the charming village of Nocelle, perched above Positano.
The trail is well marked and easy to follow. We recommend walking east to west, as this direction is slightly downhill and more comfortable. Along the way, you will enjoy spectacular panoramic views over the coastline and the deep blue sea.
Local Flavors and Coastal Views
At the end of the hike, your driver will be waiting to take you to a traditional local trattoria. Here, you can relax and enjoy authentic flavors of the Amalfi Coast, including organic vegetables, homemade gnocchi, fusilli and ravioli prepared in classic “mamma-style”.
Your meal will be accompanied by local wines and stunning views over the Bay of Positano, with Capri visible on the horizon. If time allows, you may also enjoy a short stroll through the picturesque alleys of Positano before returning to your destination along the scenic coastal road.
Optional Local Hiking Guide
Upon request and subject to availability, the hike can be organized with an expert local hiking guide, who will accompany you along the entire length of the Path of the Gods, sharing insights about nature, history and local traditions.

EXCELLENT Based on 280 reviews Posted on sharon7772Verified Excellent tour We had a wonderful day with a great TOUR GUIDE. He was very professional, prompt in his communications, knowledgeable, and personable. We highly recommend using him for all of your tour needs.Posted on Rick GVerified Personal Touch of Amalfi-Sorrento,and Naples Day . To start we booked a private tour almost a year ago, Ludovico Franco dealt with my wife through out the year always being in communications with her. We decided with our most endearing gracious driver Salvatore to go driving the Amalfi coast from Naples cruise terminal to Positano stopping along the way at beautiful photo stops. Took beautiful pictures. Then drove pack to Sorrento and spent time in the beautiful village of Sorrento for a couple of hours shopping and sightseeing. Salvatore then gave us a personal tour of Naples on our return. Thank you Salvatore and Thank you Mr.Franco. We highly recommend this company to do your own personal touch tour with Naples Tour Service-Private Tours.Posted on Michelle SVerified Ludo & Team are THE Best of Napoli! From the moment we contacted Ludo by email to the time he dropped us off again in Rome and every moment in between we were treated like beloved family! My “second mom” hadn’t been back to Naples where she started her married life and had two sons for many years. Ludo listened to her stories of where she loved (lived), had her boys and then surprised us with a customized walk down memory lane! This in addition to a wonderful local expert on Pompeii & The Veiled Christ, Luca, who grew up looking out his bedroom window into the museum and shared the deep mysteries of its conception in vivid detail then found THE best local lunch spot for us. Our trip down the Amalphi Coast with Salvatore that ended in a delightful afternoon lunch in Ravello away from the maddening crowds of the Amalphi Coast. It wasn’t simply their knowledge, or responsive service that makes you love being with them, it is their passion and humble pride in the unique and rich history of Naples that they so freely share. We love Ludo and his team! Don’t hesitate to use them!!Posted on ΜΥΡΤΩ ΣVerified Excellent organization I chose this company to organize a few days trip to Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi and Napoli tour with my friends and family. From the beginning to the end, everything was so well organized that made our trip unforgettable. Ludovico and Salvatore were excellent. Also the guided tours in Pompeii, Herculaneum and Naples old center were very good.I recommend the office and of course we will choose them again.Posted on Craig TVerified EXCEPTIONAL BEST TOUR WE HAVE EVER DONE!!! I cannot rate this tour and specifically Salvatore enough stars Sals insight, experience , knowledge, outstanding communication, professionalism and very likeable personality made this tour exceptional, memorable and unforgettable.Sals intimate knowledge of the area allowed us to visit “secret spots” that most of the large tours would not even know about or be able to stop at to allow us some of the most picturesque photos of the area!!!I travelled with my in-laws and my children therefore there were three different generations and ages and everyone could not rate this high enough.We have done many other memorable tours in Europe and Italy prior to this however this one easily is the best without doubt.To make things even more unforgettable and memorable the value was incredible and cost a fraction of what all of the other tour operators wanted for LARGE groups of 20-50 ppl . This was a private tour for our family of SIX absolutely incredible value service and the highlight of our EUROPE trip by a mile!!!We intend to return to Naples and without question will specifically request for Sal again and will 100% be recommending Sal to any family and friends. We know who are travelling to Naples.Posted on Chris TVerified Naples and Florence Private Tours For anyone on the NCL Breakaway cruise through the Mediterranean, I have a great tour operator to recommend for the west coast of Italy. We used Naples Tour Service (NTS) in our Naples and Florence port stops. The pick up and drop off was flawless and the tour itself in both cities was outstanding with the tour guide who provided a local’s input into the history of the city and not just the places to see and eat. We tried ItalyTours for our own Rome port stop just to compare tour operators and I’ll honestly tell you it’s so much different. The ItalyTours guide did not say anything in between the drive from the port and Rome. I guess that’s ok if you want to just sleep but for first timers in the given city, it’s nice to know the history and personal point of view from the tour guide. I’ll also add that the private party cost with NTS was about the same if not cheaper than the semi private party cost with ItalyTours. I walked away from the NTS tours with a sense of friendship with the tour guide. ItalyTours was ok but we would expect more from private tour guides. I highly recommend NTS to anyone visiting Italy. Contact info through WhatsApp: Naples Tour Service (they handle the West Coast of Italy) - Ludovico Franco +39 328 738 4056, ask Ludovico to assign Valerio as your Florence tour guide if possible; Salvatore was our tour guide in Naples.Posted on Vasiliki SVerified Worthy to do it! Prepare for an unforgettable day! Our tour was an absolute dream, and it was all thanks to our incredible guides, Francesco and Salvatore. They were the epitome of professionalism and warmth, arriving precisely on time and greeting us with a calm, patient, and genuinely friendly presence that set the perfect tone for the day.Lunch was a highlight in itself – they arranged a restaurant with an absolutely stunning view and food that was nothing short of spectacular. We indulged in a generous amount of local wine and savored delicious traditional dishes, feeling truly immersed in the local culture.But beyond the logistics and the delicious food, the real magic was in the knowledge and passion Francesco and Salvatore shared. We learned so much, gaining a deeper appreciation for everything we saw and experienced. Their guidance was invaluable, and we are so incredibly grateful for their expertise and kindness.If you're considering this tour, do yourself a favor and request Francesco and Salvatore. They are outstanding guides who will make your experience truly exceptional.Posted on Tamara SVerified Thank you!! Ludovico was great! We booked with him last minute and he was on time the next day!He took us to Pompeii for the day and told us all about the history on the drive, the winery he recommended was also fantastic! Ludovicos English is also great and his prices are really good! Thank you :)Posted on Michael KVerified Highly recommend! It is my pleasure to recommend Naples Tour Service. I worked with Ludovico to plan a tour of Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello. He was extremely helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. Ivo was our guide and he was excellent. Knowledgeable, courteous, kind, and professional with great recommendations for how best to experience the cities. He made for a great day overall and we could not be happier.Posted on AmyC170Verified Best Naples Tour Service! I highly recommend Naples Tour Service for anyone visiting Naples and the Amalfi Coast! From our first contact with Lodovico through our entire trip I will say this company makes you feel like you are their only customer! Always fast to respond when making arrangements before the trip, always on time and super helpful during every excursion and they set up the best private tours for us everywhere! We did 7 different excursions with this company and airport transfers. Everyone went above and beyond to make our trip amazing! If you want to have a fabulous vacation and not deal with long lines and group tours this is the company for you! We will definitely use them again next year!
