Path of the Gods Hike Review
My family and I had an absolutely unforgettable day with Franco! From the moment we met him, his kindness, passion, and deep knowledge of the Amalfi Coast made the experience truly special. As we hiked the Path of the Gods, Franco shared fascinating history about the region, stories about the local communities, and insights into traditions that brought each town to life. Beyond being an exceptional guide, Franco arranged unique food and drink experiences along the way that made the day even more memorable. The hike itself was breathtaking, but the highlight of the day was the incredible meal Franco and his sister, Angela, prepared for us at their home in Monteprusso. We were treated to a spectacular six-course homemade feast, with every dish more delicious than the last. Franco and Angela welcomed us like family and created an experience that went far beyond a typical tour. We left with full hearts, amazing memories, and a genuine appreciation for the local culture. We couldn't be more grateful to them for such an extraordinary day, and we highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Positano!

The Absolute Highlight of Our Italy Trip! An Awe-Inspiring, Stress-Free Family Experience
If you are planning to hike the Path of the Gods, booking the Gastronomy Tour with Franco Trekking Positano is the best decision you can make. From start to finish, Franco and Angela went completely above and beyond to create an absolutely amazing, unforgettable experience for our family. The seamless experience started well before the hike as their communication beforehand via WhatsApp was incredibly responsive and clear. They completely took the stress out of our day by expertly managing all the complicated transport logistics of getting to and from the trailheads. Once on the trail, they provided hiking poles and snacks. Franco is an officially certified CAI and AIGAE guide, and his deep roots as a local forest ranger shine through every step of the journey. They shared incredibly rich history and ancient legends that brought the dramatic cliffs to life. Because Franco and Angela know all the locals who live up in the mountains, we had unique experiences you could never get on your own—including getting to help make sure the local working donkeys had enough water to keep them cool. A wonderful surprise was their rescue dog, Sunny! She is the most enthusiastic, adorable hiking companion who brought so much joy to the trail. Franco and Angela were also phenomenal with our kids, perfectly managing the group pacing and taking dozens of amazing family photos of us against the most stunning backdrops so we could just live in the moment. What really sets this apart is the beautiful hospitality. They provided delicious snacks along the route, culminating in an authentic farm-to-table food tasting experience. Franco even gifted us incredible homemade wine and savory sausage sourced directly from their farm. Our family is so happy we completing this hike together. We enjoyed seeing the views from above far more than being in the crowded towns. It was a deeply moving, awe-inspiring experience that we will be forever grateful for. I highly recommend booking Franco Trekking for this hike or any other hiking experience if you’re in the Amalfi Coast area.

An unforgettable experience!
This Gastronomic Hike on the Path of the Gods was hands down the best experience we had during our entire trip to Italy! It’s a full-day adventure and definitely a challenging hike, so it’s not for everyone—but if you enjoy being outdoors, staying active, and taking in incredible scenery, this is an absolute must. Franco and Angela completely made the experience. They were amazing—so knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely passionate about the region. Throughout the day they shared stories, history, and local insight that made the hike feel so much more meaningful than just a beautiful walk. The lunch was beyond anything we expected—a true Italian feast made from Franco’s farm. Fresh cheeses, meats, bread, vegetables, and wine—it was all incredibly authentic and delicious, and felt like a special experience you simply can’t replicate in a restaurant. The hike itself is stunning, with unforgettable views of the Amalfi Coast. We truly cannot recommend this experience enough. It was the perfect combination of adventure, culture, and incredible food—and one of those rare days that you’ll talk about long after your trip is over.

Path of the Gods
Franco is amazing. He shared a wide range of interesting info, from history to myth from plants to food, from things built centuries ago to how the locals live their lives today. Franco, Angela and John are all super kind and generous, putting in extra effort and mileages to accommodate the group’s need. Very much appreciated it!! Among all, Sunny is probably the one who won most people’s hearts. :) I will definitely recommend Franco Trekking for the Path of the Gods hike! Just one minor suggestion: traffic is unpredictable and packed in this beautiful region in the busy season, and that is totally fine and understandable, but better (or more) communication would help when one runs late so that those who are waiting at the meeting point would know what to expect. :)

Gastronomic Hike on the Path of the Gods with Food Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Positano.
How much does Gastronomic Hike on the Path of the Gods with Food Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $172 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Positano usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Gastronomic Hike on the Path of the Gods with Food Tasting take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Positano is not rushed.
Is Gastronomic Hike on the Path of the Gods with Food Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 44 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Positano, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Gastronomic Hike on the Path of the Gods with Food Tasting?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Gastronomic Hike on the Path of the Gods with Food Tasting suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Gastronomic Hike on the Path of the Gods with Food Tasting?
+
Around 15 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Positano can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Positano and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Gastronomic Hike on the Path of the Gods with Food Tasting start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Positano within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Positano?
+
On Outty we rank every Positano experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cooking class with Pasta, mozzarella and Tiramisu with wine, Amalfi : Prepare fresh pasta, mozzarella and tiramisu with wine, Ravioli & Tagliatelle Cooking Class at a Local's Home in Positano. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Positano?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Positano?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
