We had a good time. I think giving better directions to the Hop on-hop off bus would have been a big help. There are several different companies in Rome. Also let people know about the subway. We found it to be exceptional and had we known about it day one our trip would have had a much smoother start. Contracting to another company was interesting. We had 53 on our bus, it slowed everything down and limited our time in stop locations. With that many people, getting food served took forever and getting people through the bathroom stops was a challenge. Also there was no bathroom on the bus. The Raffaello in Florence was a dump! I would give it 2 stars. The first room stunk like someone threw up or meat was left spoiling in it. They did change our room but the hotel on a whole needs a good deep cleaning and updating. The breakfast was horrible, the coffee (made in a machine) was more tea like than coffee, the staff was split 50/50 on politeness. Day two we went to a local cafe for breakfast because when we went to get coffee we saw no improvement from the day before and the breakfast was not worth it. One other thing we thought, when we stopped for shorter stops we would have preferred the option to break away from the group and be given a meet up time & location. I don't remember the stop but we really wanted to explore more of the little town but sticking with the group we got to see the town square... wasn't horrible but it wasn't a spot I would have chosen to spend my time. The shops were calling our name and we didn't have time to stop in them after the long walk to the square. Over all it was a good trip.Show more

The itinerary worked perfectly for us. Would have liked to hotelin Sorrento to be closer to town, but we did like the hotel, Giosue A Mare, for the short time there. The food was very good! The staff was friendly and very helpful. We loved staying in Minori! The second hotel, Santa Lucia, in Minori was ok, the room was acceptable with nice little balcony. Close to walk to piazza by the water and restaurants also easy access to ferries. However, the food was awful! Breakfast so so, dinner terrible and we ate out after one dinner there! How can we be in Italy and they offer us rabbit and meatloaf! Terrible! The one Italian men of cannoli was bland and tasted like they just smeared tomato paste over top! Ugh! Ala in all likelihood the free time in Minori to explore on our own!Show more
