5.00Right on time and the guide made sure single person was taken care of. Her name was LUMI and she even came to each of us asking about our day, what she could do to help. She did this from first thing in the morning until last moment at night. She also did this with a smile and warmth. She was amazing!!
Perfect for transfer to Florence!

5.00This tour was awesome and the guide was awesome. A very relaxing ride to Florence and then the guide walked us around Florence so we could experience as much as possible. She was very knowledgeable. Also had guaranteed return to port on time. Would highly recommend this tour.

5.00was by far our best excursion. we tend to just use the excursions offered by the cruise line. We are on, but wanted a different experience and I would choose the excursion over and over again. Friends of our joined us and said they had done this excursion a couple years ago and it never disappoints and I agree. The guide was knowledgeable, shared his love for Italy his history that he knew and recent pop culture, which was fun to listen to he and the driver were very skilled at getting us to the Amalfi coast, which was alone. Impressive, but the sites were beautiful. The culture is amazing and the stop in Sorrento for lunch at La Laterna left us all wanting to go back to vacation in Sorrento and eat there again and again the shops were amazing in Sorrento and not overwhelmingly crowded but just great. They also managed our time to make sure we had time and space to walk around, but also get back to the port on time. I would definitely do this without a cruise at all because now I know where in Italy I’d like to visit again totally would recommend this to everyone.
