Having read a lot of comments about Ischia on sites like TripAdvisor, we weren’t sure what to expect when we came to the island. This tour gave us the perfect overview to know that there is so much to see and do we will have to come back. If you on,y stay in the Port, you will miss so much of what the island has to offer. But if you try to explore on your own, it could be a harrowing experience. With the expert guidance from both guide Paolo and driver Antonio, we were able to go to all of the island towns in one day, learn about their special place on the island as well as a lovely lunch at a local restaurant. Great way to start our relationship with the island and all it has to offer! Looking forward to returning!Michele_P

My husband and I couldn’t have spent a better day on our first trip to Ischia. Our guide Carla was so knowledgeable and a sweetheart. She gave us a full tour of the island complete with the history and local favorite foods and the best orange juice we have ever tasted! We stopped several times for the most beautiful views for photos and to explore a few of the towns by foot. With such a thorough overview of the island we felt prepared to explore on our own in the days to follow. Our driver was courteous and drove us safely through crowded and narrow streets to take us to the best spots. I highly recommend this full day tour to learn the rich and interesting history of this beautiful island.Beth_P

Paolo was the tour guide. I went with a girlfriend and we spent a lot of money, nearly $500 for this experience. He spent all of his time paying attention to her and ignored me. I felt like a third wheel on a date. They went off on their own together leaving me alone. Sat next to each other at lunch and were touched by and acting like they were on a date. He offered to be her private tour guide should she return to the island. Only ordered food that she wanted. Stopped at a market around the corner from where he live and escorted her around like they were a couple. It was the worst experience ever! Yes my girlfriend had accountability but he should have been a professional not to mention he was easily 25-30 years her senior. Worst experience and I reached out to the travel company they could only do a small reimbursement because they had paid all of their people already. The tour is not what it is advertised!!!!!!
