Then we got back on the boat and had the best time going around Capri, enjoy music, snacks, and drinks with our captain and guide. We had time to stop and swim in the ocean which was awesome. It was a terrific time and would do it again in a heartbeat.”

“I'm very torn on how to write this review... Our guide was great- good English, very energetic. Van was comfortable. Temple stop was nice, good information by our guide. I think we stayed too long though. Everyone was just standing around and we could have gotten on the road to the next stop. The cycling was only ok. Very old bikes and not really much to see on the route, especially when trying to dodge potholes. It was extremely hot but that is not the fault of the company. Lunch was not good. Not only was the food sub par but I also found something in one of the dishes…”
