They toured inner city Naples, not Sorrento. The food venue was in the basement of a hotel with no windows, stark white walls, tile and ceiling. Loud, very few food options. No pasta was offered. Capri was the best part of the tour. We sat in the bay for several hours on a boat waiting to board a small rowboat to be taken into the Blue Grotto. Fortunately the weather was beautiful. The food and restaurant in Capri was great. We felt herded like a bunch of sheep during this entire experience.

The views were breathtaking. The organization was very good. Simona is the best tour guide so far. she was very nice, very caring, always checking upon us and ask if we needed anything, smiling all the time She was so lovely and gave us lots of good advices. Michaela was nice and very polite. Just in my opinion that this tour is overpriced. We didn’t go to the basilica on the 2nd day as written in the itenary and we were a group of 8, 4 of us went to another hotel that was very highly rated ($300/night) while our hotel was around ($100/night) although we paid the same amount !!!! For the price we paid, we expected more

The locations were great! I recommend that do not go with Carrani tours. For the price and a six hours drive, I expect the bus to have USB charger and WIFI. In addition, the tour was disorganized. The tour guide directed us to the bus to Rome (which we validated that the destination was Rome with the new tour guide). Then 30 minutes later, they checked the names and we were not on the list. Major issue, after provide our travel documents and they did a few calls the situation was corrected.

I want to start by saying that Sasha and Alessia were both fantastic guides and we had a great time with them in Pompei/Alessia helping us out in Capri. However, we were the only two people from our group returning to Rome from Capri at the end of the tour (the rest were staying on the Coast for longer) so they left us alone on Capri for another guide/group to pick us up. Our meeting time was at 4:00 at dock zero. No guide. I texted Alessia and she was great enough to provide me the new guides contact information. I texted the guide at 4:10 to confirm we were meeting him. He said they were twenty minutes out. Our boat was due to leave at 4:25 from Capri to Naples to meet our bus to Rome. The guide was not twenty minutes out but instead was about an hour away (he didn’t update us, no communication at all. Just showed up) We missed our 4:25PM boat…and then missed every boat until 5:55PM. The guide did not communicate with us at all, we had to constantly track him down. Once the ferry arrived in Naples from Capri we had to wait another 60 minutes for the bus to show up. Again, being told it was only 30 minutes away initially. By the time we boarded the bus it was 8PM instead of the original 5:30PM planned time to get on the bus. We got back to Rome at 11:00PM instead of roughly 8-9PM as stated in the itinerary. We had an early flight the next day so that was very frustrating. The whole situation could have been simply solved if the guide or Carrani had sent a text message to everyone to alert us they were running behind. Instead we had to be proactive and constantly ask for information. Honestly, I would rather have abandoned the return home and caught a ferry and a train from Naples to Rome myself and I wish I did at this time. I don’t think the guide even knew who we were or would have noticed if we did so. Pompei and Sorrento were very cool to see with Sasha. Would recommend passing on Capri. Beautiful but not a lot to see, eat or shop. Blue Grotto line ran ~3 hours. You take a 15 minute bus ride to the top of the island and have a lunch which was included but not good compared to all the other meals we had in Italy.
