Antonio was an excellent guide! We appreciated his commentary and advice. When you have an option for a boat tour in Amalfi take it, much better way to see the city. There will also be an option for a farm to table restaurant experience, again also worth it to try lemon sauce pasta! Thank you Antonio for the great day.
