Very good itinerary. I would have liked the trip better if the CEO would have explained where we were more often. We frequently drove past many places i had no idea what we were looking at. We were on the autobahn but did not know it. I did like the places we visited very much. CEO was very good otherwise.

You see a lot in a relatively short period of time which makes the trip a great quick introduction to popular areas and sites in Europe. For me I had been to a number of the cities previously but not for many years and really liked revisiting these cities and how some had changed. Be prepared for busy days and early mornings. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and very experienced and helpful with a great personality. The driver was excellent as it was very challenging in some of the streets which were narrow and difficult to maneuver.

The additional Positano trip is not value adding to the itinerary. It is rushed and at the end of a full day. We would definitely have preferred to stay longer on the Isle of Capri or have enjoyed Sorrento.
We enjoyed many features of the itinerary such as Engleberg and Assisi although the accommodation at the later was not enjoyable.
Having such an experienced Tour Director and capable driver elevated the overall experience.
