Thank you! - Hands down, this tour was the highlight of my entire 10-day trip, and I can confidently say it had the best guide and driver. Carla is an exceptional guide who skillfully navigated the island while catering to our desires and needs. Her expert timing ensured that we had the best possible experience, despite a complex schedule. Exploring Ischia was an absolute delight; it's a stunning island with a charm that rivals Capri, yet it's less crowded. Carla's guidance made every moment special, and her knowledge added depth to our exploration. I highly recommend this tour and especially Carla as a guide for anyone looking to experience the beauty and tranquility of Ischia.

Absolutely Wonderful Tour! - I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the beauty of Ischia and enjoy the food that Ischia has to offer! The sights were beautiful and we were able to see points of interest that you would not be able to see with a large tour group.. Our tour guide, Paolo, was knowledgeable, friendly and really made the tour a great experience!

Day Trip to Ischia - Paolo was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable with the history of the island and where all the great food is served. We went to a local bakery where we tried their freshly baked bread. YUM!!! After a complete tour of this beautiful island we enjoyed a late lunch at one of the local restaurants along with two great bottles of wine.
