All aspects of the tour were outstanding. The itinerary was fairly rapid given we (my wife and I) opted for all the offered excursions. Having said that we did not feel it was too fast. The fact that there was only one hotel change allowed us to have more time overall to see the wonderful history and sites that are all over Italy. Our tour manager was wonderful. His knowledge and experience showed clearly in how smoothly the entire tour went. Our bus driver was amazing moving a large vehicle through the narrow winding streets of Rome, the Amalfi Coast and in between. The local guides were also excellent for the brief times we spent with them. All in all the tour was wonderful and worth every penny we paid.

My personal preference would have been for more time in Pompeii (half a day is barely time to scratch the surface) and to skip the stop in Naples, but if you're more interested in modern cities than archaeology, you'd probably disagree. This tour is a well-balanced mix, with something for everyone. Our tour leader was absolutely amazing - it was more like going on holiday with a friend than a paid guide!

I had an amazing time. Both trip managers were wonderful, super helpful and lots of fun. I really enjoyed all the places we went and the activities. Going in May was definitely a good idea, the weather was warm but not too hot and the crowds were an okay size.
A very enjoyable trip will be it a bit more strenuous than I had expected from the notes although the walks are short the terrain is extremely rugged at this challenge many in the group. The leader was good at leading the walks and handling everybody, but he was a little bit weak on the communications side, and quite a while people were unsure about what was coming up exactly.
