Rushed, uncomfortable, poorly managed - more like a speed boat transfer than a sightseeing cruise - Our tour started late—meeting at 8:15 but not departing until 9:45 (advertised as a 30 minute process) and wrapped up by 5:45, well short of the promised 10–11 hours as it started late and still ended early, making the experience itself even shorter. The experience felt rushed and poorly thought out from the beginning. The ride was so fast and rough that we had to hold on the entire time, making it impossible to enjoy the scenery, take photos, or even set down our bags without them flying off. We couldn’t get a drink or use the bathroom because of the constant high speed. There was no working water in the restroom (which I didn’t find out until I already had soap in my hands), and the lunch was given to us as we were stepping off the boat, cutting into our shore exploration time rather than enjoyed en route. The guide strongly discouraged visiting the castle during our stop, saying it was too far—about a 20-minute cab ride—so we hesitated and instead stopped for a drink and a bit of shopping. In reality, we walked there easily in 20 minutes. Had we not been misled, we would’ve had enough time to easily make it to and tour the castle as we had planned. She was strongly pushing a particular cab company and thermal bath (that was actually farther away) as an alternative and it seemed like she was maybe getting a kick back. To make matters worse, my group left with sore backs from the ride. We own a similar size boat and spend a ton of time on the water—there was no reason to be moving at that speed through waves of that size. It was uncomfortable and unnecessary. While exploring Sorrento later, we saw other boats from the same company cruising by slowly, with guests relaxing, listening to music, and moving freely around the boat while wearing hats without risk of anything (or anyone) flying overboard at the slightest movement- nothing like our experience, which was nonstop white-knuckle holding on. They tried to discourage the second swimming stop and when we did ask if we could please have it, they kept it really short. They actually wouldn’t even let us sit upright or on the seats - we had to be flat on the ground because of the speed. I got air while laying flat multiple times. I did another boat tour the day before in Sorrento and did similar tours in Portugal and Greece - where I’ve left glowing reviews. Overall, this tour was a letdown. It felt more like a rushed transfer than a relaxing day on the water.

Disappointed - Not a TOUR. they drop you off and pick you up. Very nice people but there’s no “tour”. It’s all on your own and there’s not much to see in either place.
