Cinque Terre Hiking Day Trip from Florence
Florence, Italy
My Rating

Our guide Julian was wonderful and attentive, the villages beautiful and the day well scheduled! Lunch was really tasty and the hiking was not as vigourous (thankfully) as I had anticipated. Definately worth doing!

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

Fabiano and the Pompeii tour was wonderful. Our hotel in Sorrento was very nice and the town itself very pleasant. The only reason I rate it 4 is that the Capri and Grotto tour was really a wasted day as we were first taken to a gift shop before catching the ferry to Capri and didn't arrive there till 11:30. We spent over an hour waiting at the Grotto before we were able to enter, and for a 2 minute spin around inside, it was not worth the wait! Then we barely had an hour in Anacapri to shop and less than half an hour in Capri itself. Day would have been better spent eliminating the gift shop and the Blue Grotto.

Beautiful art work everywhere. The only negative was that Dara our guide was very cynical as to the history of Catholicism which I think was an essential to appreciate the tour. One does not have to be a Catholic to appreciate the history behind the beliefs of the Church! For example, when explaining why the bodies of the dead Popes entombed there have not decomposed, instead of saying that they believe holy people decompose at a slower rate, it should be explained that the Chuch believes it is a sign of a miracle or whatever the accurate explantion is. All in all a good tour, but it should be explained from the viewpoint of the Vatican itself!
