Our reservation indicated that we would be on a small group tour of under 12 people. We were the only two during the whole trip. A bit awkward at times. It was a wonderful tour. Hotels were great, guides were wonderful, tours were nice. Amalfi coast is amazing! The only glitch was with our extra night with pickup from airport to hotel. Our flight was to arrive at 1 pm. However, we were late arriving and our driver arrived at 1 and we hadn’t even landed. He waited until 1:30 and left. We paid for transport to hotel and thought that this service would watch for the flight arrival time not just the original paperwork. Why would taxi service arrive the moment an international plane arrives knowing we need to deplane and pick up luggage. So we had to find our own taxi service. A bit awkward when one doesn’t know the language. Everything else worked like clockwork. We would highly recommend this tour.Show more
