“Once in a lifetime experience working with Ferndinando! Immaculate vibes with music playing in the background while we made the pasta, mozzarella, and tiramisu. The environment created facilitated making quick friends with our fellow learners. He is a great teacher, sharing not only the secrets behind the amazing food in the Amalfi coast but also the history behind it. Each bite of the food felt like we were tasting a different delicious part of Italy. The local wine he shared was so good, we even bought a few bottles to take with us on the road. We are recommending this place to all of our friends.”

“The parking in amalfi is a little difficult, but with a little searching it was not a huge problem. The dinghy ride over to Posatano was interesting but not horrible. The actual boat ride to capri was great. Very considerate staff and room for all aboard. You can ride in the front of the boat or in the back inside the enclosure. The stops on the way to and from Capri were fine. The views were incredible. Time on Capri is short but it was enough to take the chair lift to the top and to grab a bite to eat”

See Positano and the Amalfi Coast from a 12-passenger boat at sunset, with prosecco, snacks, music, Wi-Fi, and photo stops.

“Our tour was scheduled for 5:30 pm, and we arrived about 15 minutes early to check in. We waited at the meeting point—right outside a busy brasserie bar—but no guide or staff member was anywhere to be found. At 5:40, I messaged the tour operator asking where we were supposed to check in. Eventually, a random woman pointed us toward another lady sitting at the bar, who was casually on FaceTime. There was no sign or indication she was with the tour, and she was extremely unprofessional.
