I was born and raised in Positano, on the Amalfi Coast. I will take you with me to discover the path that everyone knows as "Path of Gods": one of the most spectacular views in southern Italy. I will show you, however, that this was much more for my ancestors: one of the pedestrian arteries that gave access to property and people before the construction of the road that connects Sorrento to Vietri. In this walk there is the possibility to meet local farmers and breeders enjoying genuine products. We will talk about the local flora and fauna, the use of wild herbs in the culinary and phytotherapeutic fields. The leitmotiv of the walk will be the complete opening of the senses to the perception of the surrounding environment, the deepening of the traditions and customs of my country.

We truly felt like locals after hiking with Saveria. She told us all about the history of the trail and the various plants we saw along the way. This listing truly undersells the experience she provides - we could not recommend Saveria more! Pro tip - let her take you to the Shepards house :)

We have been blessed to have traveled the World and have had amazing experiences. Our hike on the Path of the Gods beginning & ending at the beautiful village of Nocelle with Saveria is now one of our all time favorites. She is a beautiful caring soul and an excellent local guide whom will share her immense knowledge of nature and the history of Positano and the Amalfi Coast with you. We had a smaller group which was wonderful as she prefers so she can give special attention to all which she did. She was very personable to us and helpful to others as well along this amazing and challenging trail and overall was very generous with her time and attention. What a wonderful time we had. We left with some wonderful memories of the amazing views and all that Saveria shared with us. Thank you Saveria!!

Tese di San Giuseppe was the hike we did with “Ladybug”. We could walk up the city steps to the hike which made it convenient from the hotel in Positano. The hike was shorter than Path of Gods and the views from 1650 feet up were amazing!! Saveria is was a wealth of knowledge about the local mythology of Positano as well as medicinal herbs and plants we saw along the way. The streams we passed added to our feel of the local nature! Highly recommend our new Ladybug” friend!!

What a wonderful hike we had with Saveria, Ladybug Positano! She is intelligent, curious, knowledgeable, and eager to share her experience with us. We really enjoyed the hike as she showed us local plants and told us about local history! We did the out and back hike to the shepherd’s house. I was actually worried that it wouldn’t be enough of a hike, but we were exhausted afterwards! It was great exercise, and we learned a lot. We really loved hiking with Saveria!

We were lucky enough to have Saveria all to ourselves for this tour and she delivered all that we had hoped. Through her engaging personality she shared her wide knowledge of the trail and the Positano surroundings. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone travelling to the Amalfi region. Saveria adds her own charm to the experience.

My husband and I had the opportunity to hike the Path of the Gods on a small group tour with Saveria Fiore (Ladybug Positano) while staying in Praiano during our honeymoon. Not only were the views of the hike amazing, but Saveria made the day so enjoyable with her fun personality and witty nature lessons. This was one of our favorite days on the Amalfi Coast. 10/10 would recommend if you are visiting the area.

Divine intervention connected us with Saveria a/k/a Ladybug, the evening before our intended hike on the Path of the Gods and we were so fortunate that she was available for our late October day trip. We spent five days on the Amalfi Coast and this was, hands down, the highlight. Once you figure out where it starts, anyone can walk the Path, but without the incredibly knowledgeable Saveria, we would not have learned the legends, the history, the fauna (several samples of which Saveria picked and we tasted), the short-cuts, the extended paths and in between, the history of Positano where Saveria was born and where she still lives. We will never forget the lunch Saveria made for us outside a deserted farm house with a view of the terraced gardens of Praiano.

If you would want to take a tour of the Vatican with the Pope, then surely, you wouldn't settle for anyone other than the beautiful Saveria, Goddess of the Path, to tour you around the most beautiful place on Earth.

It was a really great trek with a great guide! Saveria is a very nice person and guide, she loves what she is doing and does her best to make us enjoy and appreciate every step of the trek. It was a nice human experience, and the landscapes were of course very beautiful. I recommand.

If you like hiking, this is a must hike. Even if you are not a huge hiker, put it in your bucket list. The hike is moderately strenuous and it is easier if you start from Bomerano as opposed to Nocelle as it is mostly downhill in that direction. The views are stunning but as with every tour in a foreign country the guide makes the difference. Saveria was a gem. She is a local woman who knows the area like the back of her hand. roadside vegetation we would dismiss as weeds were explained to us as to their culinary or medicinal use. The history of the area, the legend of the Gods, ancient building techniques and farmers gardens along the way were explained and visited with an ease and expertise that indicated the guide belongs to these mountains. Towards the end Saveria surprised us with a mini picnic. She took out home made bruschetta bread as it was made in the olden times. A recipe passed down from her grandmother. The stone hard bread was soaked in water, broken up into pieces and then soaked again in home made olive oil before we consumed it with cheese and tomatoes. A home made liqueur topped it off. Delicious and a first for us on a guided tour. I must add that our group was small. 5 people and two dogs. I'm not sure the same treat can be offered to larger groups.

Most importantly, we were not rushed through the path. We took our time taking pictures and enjoying the views and "Ladybug" was very accommodating. I highly recommend this hike especially with Saveria.
