All the arrangements were great. We enjoyed all aspects of this trip and were pleased with the accommodations. The guides were excellent, especially Francesco who took us through Pompeii and gave us loads of information about the what we were seeing.

Pompeii was so amazing. Mt Vesuvius was fun to walk to the summit and to see the crater and the winery tour was great. The wine was good as was the food.

Marco, our boat captain was wonderful, friendly and enjoyable to be with. He was an excellent captain and got us into the Blue Grotto with minimal hassles in spite of the large number of people waiting to enter.

The road is very crooked and the traffic is intense, but it was worth it to see Amalfi and Ravello. Our driver was very good and there were lots of great sights to see.

Simona, our guide really enhanced this visit. She had a wealth of knowledge to share with us making the visit very enjoyable. We had been to the Colosseum many years before without a guide and this was so much better.

We had visited some crypts in Portugal and this was very similar and interesting. The tour of the crypt seemed a bit rushed, but the catacombs tour was outstanding.
