Private Path of the Gods tours: walk your own way
Private Path of the Gods walking tour (€125)
This is the highest-rated tour on the Amalfi Coast (4.9 from 66 reviews), and for groups and families it makes sense. You get a private guide who adjusts the pace to your fitness level, stops for photos whenever you want, and often knows the route inside-out. The guide Enzo is mentioned by name in reviews; he’s known for being patient with slower hikers and families with kids. The walk is ~3.5 to 4 hours, often ending at a spot in Nocelle for lunch before you hike or take the bus down the ~1,500 steps to Positano.
Private shuttle transfer (€185 per vehicle)
If you’re a confident solo hiker and only want the logistics solved, this is your option. An English-speaking driver picks you up in Positano and drives you to Bomerano trailhead. You walk the trail alone at your own pace. The driver knows the path, can talk you through it before you start, and you hike back down to Nocelle and catch the local bus or hike the 1,500 steps to Positano. The tour is rated 4.9 from 71 reviews; common praise is "professional driver", "on time", and "clean, comfortable car". The €185 is per vehicle, so if you’re hiking with friends, you split the cost.
Private or group tour? How they compare
Both private options give you flexibility, but they suit different hikers. The walking tour has a guide with you the whole way — good for families, slower hikers, or anyone who wants expert knowledge. The shuttle is for hikers comfortable going solo; it costs less per person if you’re a group, and you hike at your own pace. The group tours (€80 or €88) are cheaper and sociable if you don’t mind hiking with strangers.

Frequently asked questions
What's included in the private walking tour?
A private guide leads your group down the Sentiero degli Dei from Bomerano to Nocelle at your pace. Usually about 3.5 to 4 hours walking. The guide adjusts stops for photos and fitness, and often knows which shepherd’s hut is open for a snack stop. You pay for your own food and water; the guide provides expertise and companionship.
Who is Enzo and why is he in the reviews?
Enzo is a guide on the private tour; he’s mentioned by name in multiple reviews as patient, kind, and knowledgeable. If you book the private walking tour, you might get him or another guide on the same team. All guides on this tour are well-reviewed.
Is the private shuttle transfer a guided tour?
No. You hike alone; the driver takes you to the trailhead and you walk back on your own. The driver is English-speaking, professional, and happy to brief you on the route, but he’s not walking with you. It’s designed for hikers who are comfortable solo but want someone else to handle the driving.
How much cheaper is the shuttle per person if we're a group?
The shuttle is €185 per vehicle, so if you’re two people, it’s €92.50 each; three people, €61 each. Compare that to the private walking tour (€125 per person) or the group tour (€80 per person). For groups of 3+, the shuttle often makes sense unless you want a guide.
Can I book a private tour for just one person?
Yes. The private walking tour (€125) is bookable for individuals as well as groups. The shuttle is priced per vehicle, so a solo hike would cost the full €185, which is pricier than the €80 group tour with transfers. For solo hikers, the group tour is usually better value.
