Southern Italy Review: Puglia, Capri, Lecce, Matera, Sites & Locals

the country is fabulous, the hotels were great choices as were some of our guides - ones in Capri, Lecce and Matera were super.
some days advertised as being with English speaking guides turned out to be barely speaking English drivers who were not guides but merely drivers.  that was the major disappointment of the trip.
our trip to Capri got delayed by a day in part because of poor planning by the tour company.  almost did not make it the second day but our guide was able to scramble and i do mean scramble to get us last minute boat tickets.
despite the problems we had an absolutely great time.
