The trip was Wonderful and everything went very smoothly. I credit Paraskevas for all he did to make sure our train and boat tickets and drivers were set up. Loved having the WhatsApp to communicate with during the trip. We had some good guides. Everyone was a pleasure. Luka for the Pompeii was probably the best w his knowledge and his English. But Nikola in Cilento gave us extra attention and Lorenzo needs to be mentioned as well. Drivers were great and hotels were perfect for us. Thank you! Karen and Bill

We felt like the long trip to Ansel Key museum was too far and too hard to reach with the curving roads in our small car. Fig factory was interesting but the food, while very nice was not for us. The food presentation was beautiful and the setting was suberb
