"TourRadar Rome Sorrento Amalfi April 30-May 6 2023"

1. Rome walking tour. It rained heavy so we ask the tour guide to get us taxis. He took so long that we walked in the rain to the restaurant.
2. Europa Hotel Sorrento was a very old hotel and rooms were smelly and moldy. It needed renovations.
First room was full of ants.
3. Boat trip to Amalfi. Young captain raced back like a Ferrari race! Boat did not have shielding so we all were soaking wet! One person told him he will lose his tip, but he kept racing back.
4. My wife and I got Covid (and another couple) got Covid from this tour.

"Our experience was brilliant"

Our experience was brilliant. Our guide Marianne was the best guide we have ever had.
Thankyou !

"Our tour guide Constatino was terrific"

Our tour guide Constatino was terrific. We had a tour with only 4 guests which made the whole trip flexible and catered to our needs. The places we visited never felt rushed (there was a great mix of activities and free time), and the use of trains to each destination was well managed. Would happily book with them again.

"Our guide Miriam was exceptional"

Our guide Miriam was exceptional. She was good humoured, knowledgeable, caring and an excellent communicator with both our group and the local guides, services within localities and always provided informed suggestions of extra sights, restaurants and modes of transport.

"Great tour guide"

Great tour guide and tour

"Annamaria was absolutely fantastic she…"

Annamaria was absolutely fantastic she took very good care of us all
The people on the tour also made this a wonderful experience

"I appreciate the convenience of having…"

I appreciate the convenience of having everything booked for us in advance. We did have a few issues with one of our hotels and when we reached out for assistance they were so quick and helpful. They contacted the hotel for us and then called me to confirm. This was a special detail I appreciated. Next time I will ask for more details about the hotel in advance to make sure to not have the same issue. But I am happy to know they are so responsive.

"Anna Maria was amazing"

Anna Maria was amazing , very knowledgeable and our trip memorable it was great not to have to carry our luggage loved everything thing about our trip

"Annamaria was fantastic!"

Our tour leader, Anamaria, was fantastic and went out of her way to accommodate us. We took a ten day tour on April 18 and had 9 people in our group, which was fantastic! We did have issue with the tour itself and the lack of information we were given beforehand. We were not told that we would be walking over 5 miles each day, that the company would only handle 1 suitcase per person, and that the triple rooms were basically standard rooms with a rollaway or sofabed, and that Italy does not use air conditioning in April, even when the weather is quite warm. We were responsible for our own suitcases getting on and off trains and in the hotels, not service from door to door as described. We had older people and people who had trouble keeping up, so we ended up hiring taxis in many locations and not seeing the inside of many of the beautiful buildings we were visiting. We missed a whole day in Rome because of a train derailment, snd it took hours to get vans to take our group from Florence to Rome. If I had known the physical requirements for the tour ahead of time, I would have booked another tour. The description made it sound like this tour was easier than most because they used trains to transport us between cities and that we wouldn’t have to worry about our luggage, but this tour is best for very fit individuals! Even our fittest participants were complaining! I loved Annamaria and the food, but the tour was not what we were led to believe it was!

"Tour of Italy's architecture by train"

This tour of Italy was an interesting experience for viewing the cities and buildings of Italy. We visited eight cities and walked around and saw the sights. Unfortunately, only one museum was included, the Vatican museum, and that for only a limited time. The tour description was not clear that we woud not be going inside places, just walking around and seeing them. The tour needs to include extra days in Venice, Florence, and Rome to enable us to visit museums of choice, for example to go inside St. Mark’s basilica and Doge’s palace in Venice, one or two museums in Florence, the Colosseum and Pantheon in Rome. With an extra day in each city, skip-the-line tickets could have been purchased and these iconic sights could have been visited. Imagine going to Italy and NOT seeing these places! That’s what we did, and it was a great disappointment. Alternately, for those not interested in doing this, day tours to nearby places would have been available, like a day trip to Cinque Terre or Pisa or Assisi. In addition to the need for two or three additional days, advance details of travel arrangements (i.e. train schedules) should be sent to travelers a couple of weeks before the tour. “In the morning, take a high-speed train” does not mean 1:00 pm! With advance notice, rather than the evening before, the additional time in Venice could have been utilized (skip-the-line tickets, for example, which need to be booked in advance.) Costantino was a great tour leader through it all. He truly “spent himself” to make our tour special, doing what he could to handle the situations that came up, like getting to Florence later than expected because of inaccurate description of the train schedule, and extended time in the Vatican (with a different guide) that caused missed Colosseum appointments, and weather issues that required change of plans. He was knowledgeable, cheerful, helpful, considerate, and tireless, making our trip a great experience. It would be great to tour with him again.
