Full description

Explore Old Town and Downtown Positano with a guide on this walking tour. Visit an underground Roman villa, explore the fine shops and beach of Downtown Positano, and explore Old Town Positano and see its historical sights.

Meet with a guide on the upper side of the village, leave the tourists and the hustlers behind for a well-deserved break, and follow the local guide along the hidden paths and staircases of the old town, pass by a 13th-century fort from the medieval age, and take some time to enjoy the lesser-known Fornillo Beach.

Travel to Downtown Positano and explore its fine shops and restaurants before moving down to the main beach, Spiaggia Maggiore. Start the uphill walk to a street with a variety of ceramic shops, sandal makers, and shoemakers, along with galleries featuring the work of local artists.

Approach the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, originally the abbey of Positano’s 10th-century Benedictine monastery, and visit the interior of the amazing Roman Villa, recently discovered and open to the public with its wonderful fresco paintings.

After that, across the lane, Hotel Palazzo Murat fills what was once a grand Benedictine monastery. End the tour at La Zagara restaurant, and taste delicacies such as lemon delice, tiramisu, or rum baba.

Luciana was amazing. She was knowledgeable, charming, and a joy to be with. We loved her insights to the area and her sharing stories of her and her family’s history. It brought alive the vibrancy of the area. The walk was well paced and we saw parts of Positano that are off the beaten path. We also loved the archeological tour. It was so well done and added to the intrigue of Positano. Grazie

A beautiful day made even better with a wonderful walking tour. Luciana was insightful, entertaining and brought all the local vibes and hospitality. We went down secret paths, and saw the most epic views as well as getting to know all the local hotspots. We would highly recommend!

The tour was excellent. Laura was our guide along Positano streets, she speaks a perfect Spanish and as she is a local, she knows perfectly the history of the town. With her we discovered other Positano, not just the little village crowded of tourists, and we felt in love with the place. The visit to the Roman villa was incredible, we couldn’t believe there were an entire all city below the streets!! I strongly recommend the tour
