My 4 star rating is for the tour company, NOT for the driver or tour guide. The tour company lost or forgot our reservation and had to reschedule for the next day. Luckily, we were on the island for several days and had the time. The driver and tour guide were 5 star. Excellent tour. Safe driving, knowledgeable tour guide, answered all questions, stopped for an amazing lunch, and stopped several places along the way for photos.
When on a small group tour with this company and even though the tour stated we will be in a shared jetfoil we did not know how full this was. And it was NOT a small group tour. Luigi our tour guide was funny and tried to explain that we needed to get in this cargo ship to go to the island of Capri. Then we got off the big boat with about 100 other people to get on yet another boat this one smaller which we shared with another group. Our group was 20 people 2 of which were small children. We did not expect this when planning it. I will never do this type of tour again. It may work for some but not us. A small group tour should be small all the way around. We did 2 boats and a bus. In the streets of Italy that was a lot and the group talks took away from the time we had in the island. The tour guide tried his best to keep us engaged.
An amazing day in Ischia…..our wonderful guide Carla was born and raised on the island and had a wealth of information on the island, the people, and the food….request her if you go! And don’t forget to pack a swimsuit…the thermal baths are fantastic!
Absolute best! Our guide Alessandra was magnificent. Very well versed in history and botany. Very personable. Good sense of humor. And flexible.
Ciao James, thank you for your wonderful words! We are really happy you enjoyed our tour with Alessandra. We wish you a wonderful trip in Italy! Anna
Great week, clean rooms, breakfast delicious dinners and adorable buffets, professional staff, and very polite and friendly all impeccable
My boyfriend and I had a great time with this tour company! We went to Ischia. The island is beautiful. There’s a castle which are guide took us to and explained the history behind it. We then made a few stops in some of the main towns and then headed to the nearest thermal baths. If we could this trip again, we would probably not stop at the towns, head to the castle and then go straight to the thermal baths..the island is affordable and there is plenty to do ! We highly recommend Ischia. We visit Capri as well, but with another tour company. We thought it was crowded with tourists and too expensive. ischia is a much better alternative.
