Our return visit to Capri 34 years later was just as spectacular. Everything was well organized and the guides very helpful. It was a wonderful Mother's Day! You get a lot for your money- all transportation, guides, and a lovely lunch. What more could you ask for.

Your money's worth allthough it was a very long day. The guides were excellent. Just a terrible pity that this was my second visit to Capri and it was not yet possible to go to the Blue Grotto. Seems to me the only way to do this is staying on the island for a few days.

I would highly recommend this trip. Initially I thought it was a bit too expensive but in hindsight it was definately worth it. We took 3 days out of a week in Rome to do it and were delighted we did. It made our short holiday complete. The tour guides were friendly, helpful and informative. Everything was timely and prompt not delays and no problems overall. Pompeii was fascinating and Sorrento and Capri were beautiful and worth the trip. We stayed in the Ambassador Hotel in Sorrento and it was fabulous one of the high lights of the trip. Our guide arranged a separate private tour for 8 of us to do a further day trip to Amalfi and Positano from Sorrento which was another great day out and fairly priced. Our visit to Naples was short and sweet but again the Tour guide showed us the highlights excellently and much to my surprise Naples was worth stopping off to see on route. Very happy overall with the trip content, locations, and guides. This trip was a definate winner all round! R Donegan, Ireland. May 2012
