Rossella was a wonderful tour guide! We loved getting to explore Ravello and learn more about the history. A beautiful place to visit!
Very educational and fun tour. Our guide Paola was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of her experience growing up in the area. She even made us a video of our tour set to Dean Martin's "Thats Amore" song. Highly recommend you take this tour and have Paola as your guide.
Rossella was a wonderful tour guide who brought the experience to life. She speaks with passion as she is a local resident. I wholeheartedly recommend her for your tour. Ask for her by name as she was fantastic.
We had a fantastic experience with Askos Tours during our visit to Ravello. Our guide, Rosella, was absolutely exceptional. She led us on a memorable walking tour through her hometown, sharing not only its rich history but also personal insights into daily life and local culture. Grazie, Rosella, for our time together.
