3-Day Italy Trip: Naples, Pompeii, Sorrento and Capri
Rome, Italy
My Rating

This was completely worth the money! We felt so spoiled! The visit to Naples was too short as we were given an hour tour with no personal time. We were told the best pizza, coffee and truffles are from Naples and then lead back on the bus. We ate outside of Pompeii (a small simple meal) and were given another tour around the ancient volcano destroyed tour. Afterwards, those going back to Rome and those continuing to Sorrento are separated and switch buses. Our group was split into 4 hotels. All the hotels were amazing except for one. I stayed at the GRAND Hotel Royal, the others stayed at other Manniello Hotels groups. I did feel bad for the one honeymoon couple as they had the worst hotel and were stuck on top of the town without an ocean view. M hotel was amazing though with buffet breakfast, dinners and an amazing ocean view. We also went to Capri as lunch was handled with a tour of the blue grotto. Our time at AnaCapri was really pressed but still fun. An amazing visit! The last time was a personal day where I took the time to go to Positano by bus. It was beautiful but I am very happy with my decision to stay in Sorrento. I will definitely be doing this tour again and I recommend it to everyone!

Skip the Line: Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and St Peter's Basilica Half-Day Walking Tour
Rome, Italy
My Rating

The tour was nice but I didn't like how it wasn't clearly stated that the fees to the Vatican were extra. Our tour guide lacked a bit of personality to keep us interested in the tour but was good at keeping everyone accounted for. The most important part of the tour was at the end of the Sistine Chapel, we need to the tour guide to access the shortcut to St. Peter's Basilica. It is best to go to the morning sessions as the afternoon session had large portions closed off for Mass. They are also more strict on the clothing rules during the hours of Mass.
