Enchanting Amalfi Coast Tour

I recently brought a group of 16 clients to visit the beautiful country of Italy.  We visited Capri, Positano, Pompeii, Ravello, Rufolo, Sorrento, Naples, Minori and Maiori. 


The great thing about this tour is that we stayed at one hotel and did not have to unpack everytime we visited a different town.  We stayed at the beautiful and quaint hotel Villa Romana in Minori.  Every night we had a delicious dinner prepared for us by our Chef and served by Mimo our restaurant manager.  After dinner we had some cooking classes from learning to make Baba, Lemoncello, Pasta and Pizza making.  We had some amazing tours and plenty of free time.


It was a truly an amazing experience and I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to go.  Why not give my office a call today at (603)228-1625 and let me help plan your next trip to Italy.


Below is a link to some of my beautiful pictures taken while on my trip with my clients.
