This review comes from a longtime customer of Benvenuto Limos, the first time in 2005 and then in…read moreAugust 2023. The first trip involved eight of us, with my wife and I and three of our friends making our first visit to the home country. We were driven from Rome to Pompei to Naples to the hometown of five of us (two families) - Ottati & Castelcivita - back to Naples and then to Rome. We had two drivers: Rocco, who handled the Rome, Naples & Pompeii trips; and Umberto, who drove us from Naples to Ottati & Castelcivita. Both men were professional, charming and friendly, as if your Italian relatives were driving you. Umberto became somewhat of a legend on that trip, since he took us to the towns our families came from and became our interpreter. And oh... Umberto is the father of Giovanni, who runs Benvenuto Limos. (We sent a video to them as a thank you.) This August at the last minute (well, for me at least, during June) after much urging by my wife and the people of Ottati I attended the 75th Anniversary of the opening of town's aqueduct. Fundraising was done by my great uncle and others in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, my hometown, as well by a group in Pennsylvania. There was no way I was driving two hours up the mountains. My wife told me to call Giovanni and Benvenuto and guess who picked me up in Naples? Umberto! And he picked me up a couple of days later to take me back to Naples. Again, it was like family... family that is professional, charming and wonderful. Benvenuto Limos are tremendous. I recommend them highly.

First and foremost, having Benvenuto Limos and Amalfi Coast Tours as our drivers made our entire…read moretrip to the Amalfi Coast so incredible. Our experience wouldn't have been as amazing as it was without Giovanni, Daniella and the entire staff. My family (three adult children and two parents) traveled to Italy and after a terrible travel day, we were greeted at the train station in Naples by Roberto and had a wonderful drive to the coast, which was quite refreshing and relaxing after a treturous journey from California. We came to Italy with very little knowledge of the area and very little planned for the week. Giovanni with the assistance of Daniella not only provided us with seamless pick up and drop offs throughout the week in their spotless air conditioned cars, but he and his drivers were basically our tour guides each day which made the trip so much better. They planned our itinerary perfectly with their extensive knowledge of the area and connected us to all the best sights, restaurants, and more. One day we visited Pompeii and Herculaneum. They organized for us to have a private guide in both places and we stopped for an amazing lunch at a winery on Mount Vesuvius during the day. The wine tasting and food was incredible. This was a must all thanks to the Benvenuto team. One of the most memorable moments was our dinner in Positano at a restaurant that is a little bit hidden from the main touristy area, La Guarracino. Giovanni personally called the restaurant to get us a reservation and gave us recommendations of what to order. The assorted chefs choice sea food plate was one of the best things we've ever had and the whole night was so magical. This trip was so special and memorable for my family. When it came to an end, we were so sad to say goodbye to Giovanni who we'd loved getting to know throughout the week. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! We owe so much to Giovanni, Daniella and their amazing drivers Roberto, Luigi, Roberto and Eduardo. If you visit the Amalfi coast, I wouldn't recommend anything more than this company.

Not only did they make a special tour for us....but Roberto was prompt, beyond polite and like my…read morenew best friend! He was super knowledgeable, an absolute gentleman and a super careful driver! My friend got sick and could not go..and I was bummed, but Roberto made all the difference in the world! Even alone, I felt safe... he was always near or checking on me. Roberto took time to point out areas/places/things, wwas able to answer questions, while making it a fun experience for me! I can not say enough wonderful things about him! He made my day! The winery (Reale) and the Olive farm (Gargiulo) were fantastic and beautiful! The staff/owners were lovely! If you need a guide/driver or replacement BFF....Roberto is the person to ask for! In addition, he speaks English very very well (and other languages as well).

Our experience with Roberto was the highlight of of Europe…read more Normally, I'm an independent traveller. I enjoy finding hidden places, traveling like a local in cities, and generally immersing myself in a place. I do look for advice--from friends, local residents, and my amazing travel agent. I am not a cruise person, but I found myself on a cruise in Europe with family. 8 ports in 10 days...if you want the sampler platter of the Continent, not a bad way to go. Problem: How to do more than stop in a city and check a box? This is where Amalfi Coast Destination came in. I had never been on a private tour by car before, and though I've done a number since, this was the best experience I (or my family) has had. Roberto is an amazing guide and driver. He's from the Amalfi Coast and knows just about everyone. We even ran into his father in Ravello. He gives you access to a lot of places that the tour buses won't stop at. And completely customized to your needs--we wanted to throw Pompeii into the mix and were able to do so without being rushed. The highlights: *Touristy stuff: A boat ride through a grotto, and a little miniature of a town *Shopping in Amalfi *Breathtaking views and photo stops the whole way--including a posh hotel not open to random tourists *Wandering the square of Ravello *The most amazing meal ever: balcony view down the gorge to the Med at Ristorante San Giovanni, a rustic hand crafted meal. Roberto even brought the limoncello. *Pompeii Dock to dock service in a comfortable Mercedes mini-van that could easily accommodate 6. It was a memorable day with family, one we will never forget. If you are headed to the Amalfi Coast this is the way to go: in style.

Why does no hotel in Europe understand the value of a comfortable bed? No matter how much you pay…read morefor a luxury hotel, you inevitably get two hard twin mattresses pushed together. Beyond the typical European bed,* The Aurora Hotel is a fine spot to stay in Amalfi. It's a little bit outside the main town so you don't have to deal with too many touristy crowds, but the view is amazing, the shades are fantastic at keeping the light out in the morning, the air conditioning system (in our room at least) is new, and the staff is lovely (but can't magically get the airline that lost your baggage to deliver it in a timely manner either). I wouldn't drop the €10 per person on the breakfast, which was a little weak (although the patio view is incredible), but rather get some fruit in town and take advantage of my own amazing balcony. But that's me. I would absolutely stay here again though. _____________ *And nowhere else has a good bed, so I don't even know why I'm mentioning it. Although, I will one day start a European mattress company and quickly become a billionaire. If you're lucky, you can come hang out on my yacht.
