We are scheduled for the Oct 20, 2012 tour. Glad to hear you enjoyed your trip.
When you were in Capri, did the tour take you to the Blue Grotto? It isn't mentioned in the brochure, so we are wondering if it is included. If not, do you know if there is time to go on our own?
Thanks for any info you can give me.

We are scheduled on the small group to Rome, Capri, and the Amalfi Coast for the April 28th, 2012 tour. We are hoping to get together with some of the folks and exchange any information about this tour. It's our first tour with Taulk. We have only heard wonderful things about Tauck.
Does anyone know anything about the hotels we are staying in? Location, views etc.
Looking for any travel tips, what to pack or not to pack,restaurants, Pizza place in Naples etc... Thanks.
Sincerely,
Jim and Ang Montague

My daughter and I took this trip in June of 2009 and it was amazing! It was so great that my husband and I are
planning on taking the same trip in the next few years -- we have just booked A Week in Venice, Florence and
Rome (our 3rd with Tauck). The current hotel for your trip in Rome is different than the hotel I stayed in (The Majestic) on the Via Veneto. Le Agavi in Positano had beautiful views. Our view in Capri was a courtyard view, however, the date of our trip was added last minute because of many interested travellers so you may have a better view. It really doesn't matter - Capri was beautiful and you really are very busy and dont spend much time in the room - however, the hotel had great
mattresses. My daughter and I packed sundresses and skirts. We were fortunate to have fantastic weather and the only
issue with clothing that we had was in Rome at the end of the trip. It had become very hot and we needed to
change alot during the day but were able to wash some cotton things at our hotel. You probably wont have that
problem if traveling in April. Think layers. Keep an eye out for Denzel Washington in Positano - he has a house there
and we sat next to him and his family at Chez Black, and then ran into him again in Capri. Our tour director
was Andrea and he was amazing! The local guides were so great and entertaining. I know you'll have the
most incredible time - Enjoy!

We are taking this tour on October 20. A visit to the Blue Grotto isn't mentioned in the Capri itinerary. Did the tour include a visit or was there time to visit on your own?
Thanks for any info you can provide,
Sue
Hi Sue
On our trip, the Blue Grotto experience was not included. There was a "free" afternoon and a few travellers
decided that they wanted to arrange a Blue Grotto trip, but the weather was not cooperative. It seems the
weather can change rather quickly and even if you have a boat reservation, it could be cancelled due
to bad seas. The same group of people then arranged for a larger boat to tour around the island. Some
people went shopping (great shopping) and some chose to lounge by the pool area and have lunch. Because this
trip was a graduation gift for my daughter, she decided on the pool and we had a great lunch - very relaxing. You could
speak with your tour director or the hotel concierge on how to make arrangements for any excursions.
There is also time in AnaCapri after the San Michele tour to have lunch and see the town. This is a great
place to have custom sandals made while you wait. Not as expensive as you might think and excellent quality.
As with any trip, there never seems to be enough time -- you'll just have to plan on going back. I'd be happy
to answer any questions.

My wife and I are also going on this tour (to celebrate our 20th anniversary). We live in Medina, OH (near Cleveland and Akron), but I grow up in Philadelphia and my wife grew up in Long Island, NY. We'll actually be flying into Florence and taking a train to Rome on the 14th, since we are planning on spending a couple days in Florence after the tour finishes in Rome. We're really looking forward to the trip.
Great to hear you are also going to be there. We fly out of Charlotte, NC on the 11th, have a couple of days in Rome before the trip to see some friends there, and go to Florence for a week after the trip. We live in Southern Pines, NC. We moved here from Philadelphia (Media, PA) a couple of years ago. This is a belated birthday trip for my wife as last year I had knee surgery and had to cancel our scheduled trip to Rome and Florence then. I am looking forward to the sites, great food, and congenial people.

I assume you have returned from your trip and would love a full report. We are going on the Oct 20 trip.
Question: On the day you take the train back to Rome, it appears you arrive for lunch. Was ther anything after that or was it a free afternoon?
Thanks,
Sue
Cathy
Do you remember whether you had a free afternoon after arriving by train from Naples. It looks like lunch is included in Rome but I'm wondering if anything is included after that. Also, doid you get to see any of Naples before catching the train?
You must have really loved it if you are going again! When are you going back on this tour?
Sue
I live in PA and my cousin and her husband live in New Orleans; we will be taking the September 29 trip to Rome, The Amalfi Coast and Capri. Have posted before asking for others taking this tour but no response.

Where are you from?
We live in The Woodlands, and our tour starts Saturday, September 8th.
I am very concerned, we booked our flights on United, but the the aircraft is Lufthansa.
Lufthansa flight attendants have gone on strike,and we are suppose to leave Thursday afternoon. Think positive!
Cathy
I have no plan to go there.
Thanks
