Odilia, picked me up in Naples and we drive to Positano. I had asked her for her card, should I need her services. I decided to call her for a tour of Sorrento. She showed me some of the highlights and later had lunch. She is very professional, knowledgeable of her country and a superior driver. I would definitely use her again. FIVE STARS
