Path of the Gods

5.00Franco is amazing. He shared a wide range of interesting info, from history to myth from plants to food, from things built centuries ago to how the locals live their lives today. Franco, Angela and John are all super kind and generous, putting in extra effort and mileages to accommodate the group’s need. Very much appreciated it!! Among all, Sunny is probably the one who won most people’s hearts. :) I will definitely recommend Franco Trekking for the Path of the Gods hike! Just one minor suggestion: traffic is unpredictable and packed in this beautiful region in the busy season, and that is totally fine and understandable, but better (or more) communication would help when one runs late so that those who are waiting at the meeting point would know what to expect. :)
Wonderful ways to experience the path of the gods.

5.00One of the highlights of our trip to Italy was the Path of the Gods Hike. It is such a spectacular location that every photo was a postcard. Our guide Franco was fantastic. He was so enthusiastic and engaging. The food that he brought from his farm was delicious and plentiful. Our stop at the shepherd's cabin was charming. His love and passion for the region comes through in his storytelling, and he is clearly known as a part of the community. Do not miss this wonderful experience.
If you like hiking at all, DO THIS!!!

5.00We can't stop talking about how much we enjoyed this experience. Franco and Angela could charge WAY more and I'd still think it was a bargain. We (myself, 33, and my mother, 63) would recommend this experience to anyone who has any interest at all in the Path of the Gods. Franco and Angela were communicative, knowledgeable, generous, and kind. We made our booking very last minute (the day before!) and they weren't phased in the slightest. They picked us up at our hotel in Sorrento at 8:30am, drove us to the trailhead (complete with a couple stops for scenic photo ops in Positano, etc), took us on the hike with their sweet dog Sunny, spoke to us in perfect English about the history and culture of the Amalfi region, fed us a glorious lunch full of local produce, cheese, veggies, bread, wine, and HOMEMADE TIRAMISU, and then drove us home at 6pm. We loved every moment. Absolutely a highlight of our trip. If you are tempted at all, push the button! Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Grazie, Franco and Angela!!
Truly wonderful experience!

5.00Our day was filled with delicious food and wine, glorious views, and great guides. The trail was easy to manage, and Franco is so warm and welcoming. We felt like family at the end of the day. Our group thought this was the best guided hike we had experienced! Both Franco and Angela were enjoyable to talk with and provided great information on the area. A perfect day!

5.00By far the best, experience. Our guide Franco was the amazing ! He was very knowledgeable and took his time, explaining the landscape and stopped several times along the hike to assist in taking pictures and video. The lunch was the most authentic experience. Definitely come prepared with proper footwear, hat & water. Grazie Franco!
Amazing hike, with amazing people

5.00Franco and Angela are so knowledgeable about the path of gods hike. We had an incredible time, they made us feel like family. Booking with Franco helped us understand the nature of positano, the beauty the history of the people and land. Incredible hike, wear comfortable shoes, it takes about 3-4 hours total. They provided us with delicious food made from the city of Agerola, picked us up and dropped us back off at the hotel. Franco knows wine and makes his own, gave us a bottle of his white wine from his farm! We can’t wait to come back and hike with Franco and Angela again!!!
Amazing hike- highly recommend!!

5.00We had a wonderful time on the Gastronomic Tour on the Path of the Gods. Framco is so knowledgeable about all of the history and culture in the area. He also led us on a good pace that was not too challenging. We loved our meal and homemade wine at the shepherd’s house. Finally, the views at all times were incredible. Highly recommend!!
Best Experience in Italy!

5.00This was truly the best part of our entire trip in Italy! Franco was an amazing tour guide- personable, funny, interesting, and down to earth. He made a picnic for us with food from his garden, took lots of photos with us, and was extremely knowledgable about the terrain and everything about the area. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!
