Part 1: Historical Walk Among the Treasures of Amalfi

The first part of the tour will take you on a journey through the wonders of Amalfi's historic center, guided by a local expert. You will stroll through medieval alleys, uncover hidden corners, and explore vibrant squares where the past harmoniously intertwines with the present. The highlight of this section is a visit to the majestic Cathedral of Saint Andrew, a masterpiece of architecture dominating Piazza Duomo. Admire its Romanesque facade adorned with intricate details and discover the artistic treasures preserved inside. A visit to the enchanting Cloister of Paradise, a peaceful oasis with Arabic-style columns, will highlight Amalfi’s role as a cultural crossroads.

During the walk, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about the city’s rich maritime heritage, visible everywhere—from monuments dedicated to sailors to the homes once belonging to fishing families. Along the way, you can browse local artisan shops or take a break at one of the many open-air cafés, where the scent of coffee and local pastries mingles with the aroma of lemons, Amalfi’s iconic symbol.

Part 2: Amalfi Lemon Experience

The second part of the tour brings you into the heart of Amalfi's agricultural tradition: the lemon groves. You’ll be welcomed by the Aceto family, who have been lovingly cultivating the famous “sfusato amalfitano,” a unique lemon variety, for generations. Walk through the lush terraced gardens, breathe in the intense fragrance of lemons, and enjoy spectacular views of the coast.

During the tour, you’ll learn the secrets of organic and sustainable cultivation and witness demonstrations of harvesting and tree care. A special highlight will be the visit to the family’s factory, where you’ll observe the artisanal process of making limoncello and sample a variety of lemon-based products, including lemon cake, fresh lemonade, sorbet, and the famous local liqueur.

You’ll also explore the Museum of Arts and Crafts, which showcases vintage tools and artifacts that tell the story of this family’s deep connection to the land. This is more than just a tour—it’s an emotional and cultural journey that connects you to the deep roots of Amalfi, offering an authentic and unforgettable experience.
