We bumped into Paola when we were wandering around Sorrento. It was such a chance meeting which resulted in her showing us around Sorrento. Paola is very knowledgeable, we learned a lot and she took us to the more authentic and rustic places which is what we wanted. Paola is so helpful and friendly. We would highly recommend. Thank you so much!

Paola ci ha accompagnato in un tour dell'isola di Capri. Abbiamo visitato con lei villa San Michele ad Anacapri e Capri. É stata una splendida guida, preparatissima sulla storia e cultura locali; in poche ore ci ha spiegato al meglio gli aspetti più interessanti dell'Isola rendendoci questa visita, seppur breve, indimenticabile. Nel nostro prossimo viaggio a Napoli e provincia la ricontatteremo sicuramente.

Paola’s tour of Capri and Anacapri was fabulous! Paola is very knowledgeable of the history and found a way to fit everything we wanted to see in our 8 hour tour. We had 6 in our group and everyone was pleased with Paola’s tour. We give her 5+ stars!

My friend and I recently had a tour of the Vatican museums with Paola and I would highly recommend her as a knowledgeable, enthusiastic, fun guide. In a short space of time she was able to give us an in-depth understanding of the history of the Vatican, its art collections and in particular the Pio Clementino Museum, the Gallery of the Geogrphical Maps and the Sistene chapel.” Sheila D.

Dear Paola at last time has passed since we visited Capri but we still talk about the interesting tour you made for us: the personal envolvement you took to give us a focused experience, despite many of the island's highlights being closed for the season. In fact your background information made us return some years later, as you may remember! Birgitta and Hans, Sweden

Dear Paola, What a wonderful time we had with you in Italy! I’m looking through our pictures and trying to remember every moment. Our days were fun-filled and interesting, with seamless transitions. Your assistance in planning our visit was above and beyond amazing — you helped us organize our time and fit in so much, while leaving space to soak it all in. You had great recommendations from the start, and for our last minute changes you had easy fixes. We were impressed with your knowledge of the area — the nature of the land itself, its personality, highlights and resources — your genuine care and network of colleagues had us in the best of hands all along the way. We so appreciate your patience and attention to every detail. Thank you so much for a memorable and fantastic week. We all (special shout out from the kids) loved sharing our travels with you, and finding a new friend was an unexpected bonus! Until next time here or there, Karen

Paola,
Nancy and I truly enjoyed our tour with you to Capri & Anacapri. You made this trip of a lifetime so special for us. You were so attentive to Nancy’s ankle injury. You also were very knowledgeable about providing us information. I would recommend you to anyone who wanted a 5 star tour with you. Glad you enjoyed the photo I took of you.

Paola was wonderful and gave our family a beautiful & educational tour of Pompeii & the Amalfi Coast/Positano. We were arriving on a cruise ship stop in Sorrento & Paola was scheduled to pick us up at the port. The night before our stop, the weather in Sorrento wasn’t ideal for our cruise ship to tender & our port was changed to Naples with very little notice. Paola responded quickly when I let her know of the change of ports & picked us up in Naples, even though that was much farther than the Sorrento port. So kind!! Paola made it possible for us to enter Pompeii without waiting in line (& the line to get in was very long). We have a 9 year old son who was interested in everything she had to tell us, she made the tour very interesting for adults & children. Paola also scheduled a delicious lunch in Positano at a lovely restaurant on the beach. We had a fantastic day! Thank you Paola!! We highly recommend!

Jesse 19/07/2016

We had an awesome experience on the Path Of The Gods Tour! So incredible! Paola was extremely knowledgeable and helpful along the tour. It was so beautiful as well! I would recommend this tour to future visitors here! You wont be disappointed!

Ellie Leveroni 14/07/2016

Dear Paola,
I am writing on behalf of the nine of us to thank you for making our Sorrento vacation truly memorable. The farm tour and the tour of Napoli you arranged were perfect for us, as were the restaurants and beach clubs you helped us choose. But we particularly appreciated having you accompany us to Pompeii, Amalfi, the Path of the Gods, and Capri where our experience was enriched by your knowledge and warmth, as well as your ability to smooth the way for an unwieldy group ranging from grandparents to children. We feel we have made a good friend in Sorrento and hope we will have the opportunity to welcome you to Boston soon.

Thank you Paola for your wonderful tour of Pompeii and Herculaneum . Your extensive knowledge of the area was only surpassed by your enthusiasm for your job. The day was planned perfectly with just enough time for each area . We were just sorry that you weren’t with us when we did a short hike on the Path of the Gods later on our vacation. We will certainly recommend you to everyone ! And remember we are waiting for you to visit us in NY.

Marlene Agnelly 01/05/2016

My dear Paola,
My friends and I had a great time hiking Path of Gods on 11/4/16 with you. We appreciated you handling all of the details and we had a wonderful and enjoyable hike and lunch. We appreciated your knowledge of the area even pointing out all the highlights along the way and info on the many flowers and plants. We all felt like you are our best friend! I hope to visit this area again and enjoy another one of your excursions and if any of our friends visit Amalfi, we will give them your name! Warm regards, JoannT

Hi Paula
You were our guide on Thursday and it was a pleasure to meet you and to have had such an interesting time with you at Herculano. We are leaving tomorrow for Rome and I wanted to say goodbye and thank you for helping make our stay here so enjoyable. If you are ever in Sydney please let me know. Yours sincerely. Philippa

Roberto Marrill 11/04/2016

Just wanted to endorse the comments already made about Paola. She is definately one of the best guides you could ever hope to find. The Amalfi coast and Ravello are all amazing and Paola just made it even better. Even on a rainy day in Pompeii Paola did not stop smiling.
cordiali saluti
Roberto

Arthur Ainsberg 11/04/2016

Paola is great-the best guide that I have ever had. I have been to 72 countries-palls is the best-Smart, knowledgable, personable, and easy to travel with on any itinerary.

Franck & Corinne Durand 11/04/2016

Nous avons eu deux jours manifiques à Erculaneum et Pompei avec notre guide privé Paola. Paola est très simpatique et parle très bien le Français et en plus elle connais parfaitement les sites. Je vous conseil au minimum deux heures sur chacun des sites avec Paola c’est juste fantastique.
Merci encoreFranck et Corinne

Mack & Terry Carter 11/04/2016

Paola was our guide for the day to the Isle of Capri and she was wonderful! We didn’t feel like we were with a stranger. We felt so comfortable with her. She’s great and we recommend her highly!

Renee & Gary Bates 11/04/2016

We went with Paula to Capri and the Isle of Capri, we loved her so much that we booked her for a private trip to Pompeii. She had extensive knowledge of Pompeii and made the experience so much more valuable to us. Everyone knows our Paola by her first name all over Sorrento, Capri, etc. We consider her a friend. Baci baci Paola, till we meet again

Mario Portuondo 11/04/2016

We had a fun and memorable day in Capri thanks to Paola’s organizational skills and thorough knowledge of the island and its people and history. We definitely missed her on our visit to Pompeii and Ercolano. We hope to see you again sometime Paola. Have a great summer!

Elizabeth Cooper Stouch 11/04/2016

After going to Italy for the first time with my Mother we both had to agree that our time spent in Sorrento and Capri was the best. I was lucky enough to have Paola be a tour guide for my Mother and I all around Capri for a day. Paola could not have been anymore amazing! She was energetic, fun, knowledgeable and one of the sweetest people I have ever met. My day in Capri was easily one of my best memories made with my mother. If it was not for Paola I could not say it would have been so great! When I go back to Sorrento and Capri I will most definitely be turning to her for tours and a fun filled time! I can not thank her enough!

Andrew Gentile 31/03/2016

My family and i were in sorrento for a long weekend and we are the adventurous type who like to explore while we travel we found Paola who was able to take us on one of the most memorable tours of our lives paola took us on a tour of the isle of capri it was breathtaking we saw everything we wanted to see and more thanks to paola would recommend to anybody. Ciao

Beth Spencer 31/03/2016

I had the pleasure of spending 8 days with Paola on the Amalfi Coast back in 2012, and she was an excellent guide! She is very knowledgable and professional. Paola is also warm, welcoming, and always smiling.

Mark Bomse 31/03/2016

Our family spent the day with Paola in Capri, we had one of our best days during our 2 1/2 weeks in Italy. Paola is knowledgable, organized and energetic – she was able to provide lots detail and history and mix in plenty of activity for our kids. Her kind charm is evidenced by the many tourist professionals and local shopkeepers who are happy to see her and make accommodations for her clients. Of the all the tours and guides we met, Paola is our favorite and we look forward to seeing her again when we return to the Amalfi Coast and when she visits the U.S.

Mary Geraci Levesque 31/03/2016

Our trip to Sorrento was fantastic, but the day we spent with Paola Gargiulo (our tour guide on Capri) was the best. Paola is engaging, interesting, and lively. She knows so much history and made our day special. Her English is superb, which we found to be extremely helpful and important to our enjoyment of the tour. We had a previous English-speaking–but not English-understanding tour guide, and it made our day very difficult. If you book with Paola, you won’t regret it. #sorrentomagictour. ❌⭕❤

Emmy & Ryan Cayabyab 29/03/2016

My husband Ryan and I are on a tour of Italy from 24March-8 April 2016. This trip is a gift to ourselves for we celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary last December. We met Paola, our tour guide in the Sorrento-Capri segment on Easter Sunday, the 26th. We enjoyed conversing with her and we valued her tenacity to get things done comfortably and conveniently for us without being irate to her workmates. Paola values and loves her job. And because of this, her workmates respect and value her too as a team player. Moreover, Paola is very knowledgeable of her country’s history and culture; and is proud of her motherland. She is intelligent, warm and has a deep sense of family and spirituality. Ryan and I hope that we get the chance to visit Bella Italia again. And we do hope that we get to see Bella Paola again too.

Cathy & Paul 29/03/2016

We found Paola through the concierge at our hotel. She did a fabulous job with the two different hikes she took us on. We hiked the Path of the Gods, and did a Ravello and Positano hike through the Mills. We enjoyed both hikes and were glad Paola was there to lead the way. Here knowledge of the area is excellent and she was a fun guide. We learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed the day. We would highly recommend Paola!

Yuna&Keiko (JAPAN) 22/03/2016 25/03/2016

Me and my mom went to Capri with Paola. No doubt that I will ask her to be our guide next time again. She is so sweat and friendly so that I didn’t feel like I met her for the first time. I appreciate that we could meet each other this time and have such a nice relationship 🙂 All of you guys who need guide,I’d love to recommend to choose Paola. She makes your tour much more fun!
Thank you again, Paola.

Mags & Marta 15/02/2016

Last September we’ve had a pleasure of exploring the Valley of the Mills with Paola as our guide.
Her knowledge, enthusiasm and friendliness made this day a very special experience. We’ve had a chance to see the beauty of the Valley, enjoy the little streets of Ravello and Amalfi, learn a lot about local customs.

We would highly recommend Paola to anyone who wants to explore the beauty of Amalfi coast with a friendly and enthusiastic guide who makes every trip a very unique experience, tailored to the participants’ needs.

Juanita 14/02/2016

My husband and I were in Italy summer 2015. We had a fabulous time with Paola. We would highly recommend booking any of her tours. If you are up for it physically, book The Walk of the Gods. Next time we are in Italy we will definitely look for Paola.

Charles and Helene South Africa 14/02/2016

Thank you Paulo, we had a lovely holiday in Italy and thanks to you our tour to Capri was superb. Having the privilege of going into the blue grotto was in forgettable. You were really a fun guide with a lot of knowledge about the island. Hope to see you someday soon

Charesse 14/02/2016

My husband and I traveled with Paola in September of 2013 through Napoli, Pompeii, Sorrento, Ravello, Positano and Capri. The depth of knowledge she has regarding the culture and history of these regions is incredible! My favorite part of the trip was hiking the Path of the Gods. Other highlights were underground Napoli (Napoli Sotteranea) and Anacapri. Paola allowed us to modify our original plans to best meet our wishes and truly made it an individualized trip. She has a great sense of humor and is passionate about her work. It was like traveling through Italy with a friend. We would tour with Paola again without a doubt!

Nonato 13/02/2016

Paola is the best guide to Capri. Unfortunately , the Blue Grotto was close during our trip , but we had a great day anyway thanks to Paola, who showed us the other attractions of the island. I’d highly recommend this tour.

Ana Policante 13/02/2016

Gostei muito de ter a Paola como guia. Fala português muito bem, atenciosa, alegre. Espero volta a Itália e ter a Paola como guia novamente.

Diego Venegas-Yazigi 13/02/2016

My visit to Ercolano Scavi With Paola was great. She made the visit very fun and full of details and knowledge. I am pretty sure that my return to the Costa Amalfitana will include more tours with Paola.

Caryn Goode 13/02/2016

Paola was great! We had a full day touring Pompeii & Herculaneum & it was one of the top days of our 2 weeks in Italy. We learned so much! Paola is so knowledgable and friendly – we can’t wait to go back and see Capri and hike Vesuvius with her.

Roxanne 03/11/2015

Touring the Amalfi Coast with Paola was the best. She was the most knowledgeable and fun guide and I truly enjoyed the days I got to spend with her. Should I ever be given the opportunity to tour Italy again I will certainly book my time with this sweet lady! Thanks Paola!
