Basically a perfect week in a beautiful part of the world, good food, great companions, great walks, excellent guide, great weather and fantastic views and experiences...
An excellent experience all around. The small tour group combined with active tours was a great fit for us. Our tour manager, Apollonia (Flo) was very knowledgeable and attentive. The activities and impact events were well planned and unique. We really felt like we were getting a great taste of the regions. Our tour group gelled quickly and easily and was just the right size. Our driver was also excellent. The pace of the tour was just right for us with ample opportunity for exploring on our own and in small groups and being together as a whole tour. Instead of staying in hectic tourist areas such as Amalfi, we lodged in nearby quaint towns and drove or took boat shuttles into those busy areas for day trips. I especially liked Matera, Pompeii, and the towns along he Aegean sea. So beautiful and full of interesting history.
From Rome, travel to Naples and see the treasures of the ancient city. Stop at the legendary site of Pompeii which was completely destroyed 2,000 years ago in the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Discover Positano, one of Italy's crown jewels, with stunning scenery and colourful cliffside villas. Set sail for the idyllic Italian island of Capri on a full-day tour and relax at the charming town of Sorrento on your Amalfi Coast escape with plenty of free time to explore on your own
Rome’s history and the Amalfi Coast’s beauty? A perfect combo! From the Colosseum to Positano’s breathtaking cliffs, this trip was straight out of a postcard

The trip was fabulous -beautiful places , lovely hotel and friendly warm staff , excellent food wine and our leader Veriano was so kind engaging fun and made the trip even more enjoyable and our group was fabulous. Would go back tomorrow! Highly recommend it!
Loved it all. A very small suggestion is to have a white board or flip chart or something similar in the hotel lobby to remind us what time breakfast is and time for group to leave the hotel for the bus that morning. It was often a bit different each day and a bit stressful trying to remember each morning. I did not feel I could trust my memory and others felt the same too. As you can see is it a very small point but would make a bit difference. Otherwise loved it all. Will definitely book again. Pete our guide was thoughtful and sensitive to everyones needs.
Thank you so much. We will return :-)
Accommodations were always very nice and the itinerary was amazing. Our Explore Leader, Manny, was the Best! She was so informative, set up special group meals where we could attend if we wanted to. She had amazing knowledge of everywhere we went and had such a great sense of humor. Our group was small and we all got along so well and much of this is attributed to Manny. Thank You! I look forward to traveling with your company again.
