Positano: Private Transfer to Bomerano — Path of the Gods — Review
What the tour is like
You don’t want a guide. You can navigate the trail perfectly well. What you want is someone to drive you to Bomerano so you don’t have to hunt for a taxi or decode bus schedules. A private car picks you up in Positano, drives you to Bomerano, and you walk the trail on your own time at your own pace. You hike back down to Positano and the car is waiting. That’s it.
What works
- Solves the only genuinely hard logistics problem
- Driver is knowledgeable and kind, per reviews
- €185 per group (not per person) is reasonable for 2–4 hikers
- Clean, comfortable car
- You keep the freedom of your own pace, no guide commentary
- Works for experienced hikers who know what they’re doing
- Highest-rated tour in terms of no hassle
Worth knowing
- You pay per group, not per person, so solo hikers pay the full €185
- No guide means you miss local insight
- You need hiking confidence; this isn’t for nervous beginners
- No shepherd’s hut meal or other amenities
This works best for 2–3 people sharing the €185 cost. Solo hikers: this tour costs the same per person as a small group, so factor that in. Bring maps or download offline GPS — the trail is well-marked but you won’t have a guide.
Who it’s for
Experienced hikers who know the Sentiero degli Dei well or have done their homework. Small groups (2–4) who want to split the transfer cost. Solo hikers with navigation confidence and good fitness.
Not for you if: you’re new to the trail or uncomfortable hiking alone. Book the transfer tour (€80) with a guide instead.

Frequently asked questions
Why is this called a tour if there’s no guide?
It’s a transfer service packaged as a tour. You’re not paying for a guide; you’re paying for a private car to get you to the trailhead and meet you at the bottom. That removes the logistics stress and lets you hike freely.
Is €185 really per group, not per person?
Yes. The vehicle cost is €185 regardless of whether it’s 1, 2, 3, or 4 of you. For 2 people, that’s €92.50 each. For 1 person, yes, you pay the full €185.
Can I do this hike solo, then?
Yes — that’s the point of this tour. You walk alone at your own pace. But you need: a downloaded map or offline GPS, confidence navigating from trail markers, and reasonable fitness. If any of that concerns you, book a guided tour instead.
What if I get lost?
The Sentiero degli Dei is well-marked (CAI 327 waymarks). Download a map app like Maps.me or bring a paper map. The trail is one main path with few junctions, so if you follow the markers, you won’t get lost. But if you’re nervous, hire a guide.
