Friendly service, manipulative staff

Rebecca_D, Apr 2024

Although convenient door to door service, I do not see the benefit of the expense of having paid a driver AND an all day guide for this excursion. It was mrant to be a splurge, but was not special. Our guide at the ruins was very good. Our driver and guide for the day were very friendly and approachable, but added little for the additional $1200 fee over and above the $300 for the tour guide. The all day guide also shepherded us to a fairly nice open air restaurant (past many others on the bay front) to dine at her friend's 100 year old establishment. Service was good. Food was so-so, and the guide conveniently disappeared when the $200 for three people lunch bill came. The waiter practically insisted on a tip, and after having viewed desserts, and suggesting splitting one three ways, the guide came back with three 'for a taste of authentic Napoli,' whichbwas of course on our bill. Lastly, in spite of politely asking the (friendly) driver to follow the speed limit THREE TIMES, he brushe me off and instead drove 140 km / hour in both directions. "This is the way we drive in Italy". Yah, well, I'd like to live until my next vacation. He had several near misses in heavy traffic. Unacceptable. Overall, we enjoyed our day. Again, all were hospitable, if manipulative.
