The guide in the villa Borghese was great.
All the guides were good.
The guide in Pompei spent far too much time on the streets and the generalities of the city .
I had to force him to end all the preambles and proceed with the villa di Misterii which was the main reason for my visit in Pompei. We ended up having to rush and we spent very little time viewing the frescoes. He was already leaving when I just managed to make a quick video, and I had to run after him
because he was gone.
The guide to the Colosseum was only adequate, He spent unnecessary time on Capitoline Hill where there is nothing left to see, and he made us imagine what was there before. He described the orchards that were there to dissipate the smells of latrines and lack of hygiene after the imperial era.
So the result is that there was not enough time go to the Foro Romano which was my main reason to come back to Rome. We walked far too quickly and he did not name the remains of the various temples.
The accommodation in The Amalfi coast was OK, the staff very helpful. But the bathroom was poorly designed from the point of view of comfort and practicality.
In The hotel Mediterraneo , we were very lucky because they upgraded us to a Superior Room. It was a really beautiful and luxurious hotel.
It was a beautifully arranged trip.
We appreciated the quick responses to our questions by Storytelling Girl. And especially when we were in Italy, the problems we encountered on the spot were immediately answered and solved, like with texting. That was so important because we were on our own and helpless when some unforeseen situation arose.
Thank you very much, it was a great trip thanks to you.

Hotel Reviews
Casa Amorino B&B had lovely staff with a beautiful property and garden, which was a pleasure to experience. However, the bathroom was disappointing. The lack of surface space around the sink to place toiletries was frustrating. While the rooms were spacious, they weren't designed well for practical use, lacking sufficient space for putting away clothes and belongings. Despite these issues, the overall experience was decent, due to the kindness of the staff and the beauty of the location.
Superb rooms with beautiful antique furniture, great breakfasts, very clean everywhere.
Activity Reviews
The guide had a remarkably vast knowledge; he was open to any question and could could answer them all with great details. The only criticism was the unnecessary length of time devoted to visit the Capitoline Hill and not enough time for the Forum Romano, resulting in a more superficial experience for this extraordinary site. Many events occurred there, and giving this site the same time as the Capitoline Hill did not make sense.
