Italy

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

We had a very enjoyable trip and Eleonora was very timely in response to our requests, both before and during our trip.
They managed to accommodate our wishes in terms of when and where we wanted to go and were successful in getting us the hotels we had selected.

While most of the time we were on our own, the tour guides we had were knowledgeable and very accommodating.
The travel company provided many helpful recommendations for tourist sites, restaurants, and shopping that we utilized.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

Ravello was delightful and quite beautiful, as was Ischia. We really enjoyed the thermal baths while in Ischia.
The cuisine was wonderful!

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

We probably would have avoided staying in Positano, in as much as it was very crowded and we had to endure long car rides to visit other towns on the Amalfi coast, due to the congestion on the roads. By using Sorrento or Naples as a base, it might have been more enjoyable to hire a boat to visit other locales on the Amalfi coast. Another possibility would have been to take the frequently scheduled ferries from Positano to Amalfi and take a taxi from there to Ravello, etc.

Travel Company Comments:

Dear Donna,
I wanted to follow up on your comment posted with Zicasso.
First of all, I would like to thank you for your positive review. I truly appreciate your feedback regarding both the highlights and some negative experiences.

I am committed to provide the best possible experience for my clients and take negative comments seriously.

I know that moving around the Amalfi Coast during the high season may be a very stressful experience, especially this summer with so many travelers around and a shortage of staff and vehicles. I appreciate your suggestion of using public ferries to move from a town to another along the Coast and take into great consideration for the next season.

Again thank you for traveling with us and for providing us your honest feedback so that we can continue to improve and perfect our services.

My best regards,

Eleonora
