Italy Travel Review: Boat Ride, 8-Night Trip

Two things I would do differently:
1) We did a full day boat trip along the coast. I thought the driver had an itinerary but apparently it was what we wanted. I would set the itinerary beforehand because I felt we were taken advantage of. We wanted to swim and shop. We swam multiple times but didn't get t shop as the driver said there was a festival going on in Amalfi and didn't want to stop there.  We asked for other towns or suggestions but he said they were all too far away. In the end, it was a waste as the trip ended a couple hours early. Also, we thought snacks would be provided but it was a plate of cherries - I definitely would've prepared more for the group! We had water and sodas. We did end up eating at a seaside restaurant which was good.
2) I would also not book an apt for my group. As much as I loved the idea of space, when you're with a group it's easier to have breakfast set out and a clean space / rooms that hotels provide. The floors were super dirty at the luxury apt we stayed at and I texted the travel company to get in touch with the management to clean, which they did but still not like a hotel clean. When we arrived, they hadn't put sheets on the beds or anything and we arrived well after the time we were supposed to. Not a big deal, but I know for me - I would probably stick to hotels moving forward.
These are personal changes that I would make - the travel company did everything as planned and couldn't have been better.
