Fantastic Tour

Our knowledgeable tour managers and tour guides made our tour fantastic. Our tour guide in Pompeii was very knowledgeable. Our tour manager for one day tour from Sorento to Capri, Mr. Sasha, was very efficient, He really managed that one day Capri tour in a very fantastic way by ensuring that we visit all places given in our itinerary. Our tour coordinator Carra from Capri to Rome via Naples was very helpful and beautiful. She helped me in catching my last train from Naples to Florence, which would otherwise have been missed. I am grateful to all the tour managers and guides. With respect the accommodation, group members were accommodated in different hotel. We were provided the hotel on the mountain. There was a terrace on the first floor of the hotel, from where the outside view of the bay was very good. The dinner and breakfast in the hotel was very good, especially the lemon cake was amazing. The Pizza in Naples was one of the best. Lemon slush in Pompeii and Capri was excellent.

The boat was on time and even nicer than I had hoped. We had the boat to ourselves, 2 adults and 3 teenagers. The skipper was very professional and accommodating. He took us to someone wonderful places to swim and showed us the sights along the way. He made arrangements for us to have lunch on Capri. The beverages offered on board were perfect. There is a toilet, shower and a private room to change clothes in on board the boat. We had a wonderful day.

Best excursion ever. Great service, amazing guides (especially the one from Capri), plate-licking food and memorable activities! Sincerely, we recommend everyone! Just perfect!
