Holidayextras

It did what it said on the tin . . .

The hotel was very good in all aspects - loved the pool after a tiring day. It was a good idea to mix us up at table so that we met more of the group than we would have done otherwise.

The day trips were mostly just as described but we found the talk before the tour of Sorrento very repetative (Effy) when we were longing to get out on the streets before it got too hot! Capri was beautiful if a bit touristy - we took a picnic lunch up on the chair lift and can recommend it!

While one is glad to give tips where merited, it was suggested that a tip be given to the coach driver and guide each day as well as the chambermaid, bar staff, diningroom staff and reception staff and baskets were put out in prominent places for this! Given that coin is in very short supply in Italy, this became a problem. Not all of us can afford to give notes on that scale. We would much prefer that reasonable tips were included in the cost of the holiday. It is a simple matter to give extra when one wishes.

Whilst 'whisper ' guides were an excellent innovation, groups of 40-50 are still a bit unwieldy so hope they might be reduced in future.

We should have asked for a guide map to the Museum in Naples as we missed out on some of the exhibits that we should have seen; maybe this could be suggested to groups?
