Capri over night was a must! We luckily stayed in Anacapri which was touristy but not as much as Capris itself . Fenician stairs and gondola along with Ville San Michele were all highly recommended. Blue ( Azzure ) grotto truly beautiful . My only complaint was I would have liked the itinerary earlier so I could have booked some of my own experiences not knowing how much free time we would have! Thank you to all your guides and associates!!

This 5 day trip to the Amalfi coast was fantastic. Very well organized by La Vacanza Travel, GrayLine, and Carani. All their people were on time, polite, responsive, and knowledgable. The buses were new, clean, and had safe drivers. Even the rest stop was nice. Naples could be skipped, but Pompeii was fantastic, Sorrento was great we opted for the deluxe room and got a great view of the Bay of Naples and Capri, and Capri is all that it is advertised. At each location, the guides were good, but the assistants were the best. All details from buses, meals, hotels, sites, and ferries were all very well coordinated. We would definitely use these services again.

Day one - The organisation of one day, two day and five day tours in Rome seemed very disorganised. Some activities on our five day itinerary such as a walking tour of old Naples just didn't happen due to lack of time and trying to fit in with Pompeii tours. When we complained we were told to take it up with the tour company. We then told the guide we thought he WAS the tour company but there was no acceptance of responsibility. Bistro lunch before Pompeii was just awful with cold food and a two hour wait in a restaurant where no one knew what we we getting for lunch or what quantities. After lunch we finally got to our 'day in Pompeii' which turned out to be a rushed hour and a half starting inexplicably in the gift shop where they were making cameos out of shells which no one had the slightest interest in.

Things did improve after day one however - our female guide from Pompeii was excellent and helped us to settle into Sorrento. it was just magical for two nights and then onto Capri which we loved every minute of. Getting back on to the ferry to Naples however was a bit of a shambles with about four ferry loads all competing! However we appreciate there are lots of people to move. Pompeii was amazing and fabulous to see, with a very helpful English-speaking guide. All in all it wasn't bad but La Vacanza Travel could tighten up on a lot of the loose ends.

The guide Ann in Pompeii was not too informative. Also the tour of the different locations in Naples was omitted.
