Spectacular Amalfi Coast
I and a friend have just returned from the spectacular Amalfi Coast. Our flight was delayed and we were greeted at the airport by a friendly Travelsphere representative and immediately chauffeured to our lovely hotel in style in a Mecedes car.
We stayed in Minori the perfect base for sightseeing trips and for swimming at the beach. It was just ten minutes from the hotel. Elifi our knowledgeable and vibrant guide escorted us on our boat and bus trips to Pompeii, Amalfi ,Capri and Ravello. She was very personable and provided us with such wonderful and memorable experiences of our visit here.
We also met such lovely people in our group who enhanced our enjoyment of our time here. Highly recommended.

Thank you for sharing your reflections of your time on the Amalfi Coast. It is incredibly heartening to hear that despite your initial flight delay, our team was able to turn your arrival into a seamless, stylish welcome.
Minori truly is a excellent base, and we are delighted that Elifi’s guidance and passion brought the history and beauty of Pompeii, Capri, and Ravello to life for you both. Our tours are built on the joy of shared adventures, and it is beautiful to know that the connections made within your group enhanced an already memorable journey.
We look forward to welcoming you both back for another memorable experience.

Underwhelmed by this company!
Many folks have spoke to the tour director and he says
Im doing my best
All i can do is to write a report
It is up to others to change things
Cause for Concern
Not a great start, late taking off, after a 4am get up, a chocolate bar for breakfast and you had to pay for a cup of tea! I think they thought the plane was full of 5 year olds.
If we had paid a cheap price to a holiday company or airline, but, not this.
Arriving in Verona we were told we had to wait for another 30 to 40 minutes for another flight which had not landed to join us, go and have coffee and breakfast.
Then, the coach broke down with faulty brakes.
As soon as we ordered, our guide said come now we are going, we waited another 15 minutes some left their food others had not ordered, confusion and disorganisation, there must be a better way. Is this the first time in Italy for Travelsphere, we are now in a depressing old and tired room with the window facing an even older brick wall.
By this time we had not eaten for 18 hours!
We woke up in the middle of the night room was 26c 75% humidity no air con spent ages trying to get it to work only to find hotel had turned it all off and staff needed the managers permission to turn on again!
Even Budget Hotels have AC.
This is not the Duty of Care and Best Practice of an experienced travel company.
Now the driver parked between a road sign and bollard and got stuck for 30 minutes, it took several members of the public and drivers in both directions to completely stop the traffic in order for him to make mutiple manovers to get back onto the road!
In 30 years of international travel i have not experienced anything like it!
Ive just sat on the bed and a hard protruding something has stuck into me from under the base fitted sheet, on stripping the bed, it was a piece of plastic someone had left behind!
27 euros if you want use their own swimming pool as a guest of the hotel!
We are now going for a walk to see if we can get a better hotel, nothing can be worse.

Dear Mr Powell
Thank you for sharing your feedback and we are very sorry to hear about the frustrations you have experience on the start of your holiday. This is certainly not the level of service or the seamless experience we pride ourselves on delivering.
As you are currently on tour, we want to help resolve these issues for you immediately. Please speak directly with your Holiday Director as soon as possible so they can address the room comfort, amenities, and hotel concerns locally.
If your issues are not resolved after speaking with your Holiday Director, please contact our Customer Care team (customer.care@travelsphere.co.uk) directly so we can provide further assistance.
We do want to ensure the remainder of your time in Italy is comfortable and enjoyable.

The holiday was great in spite of the airline
The holiday was great, but it could have been ruined. Our flight from Heathrow was cancelled by BA so we spent the first day and night at Heathrow. Our return flight from Milan was cancelled by BA so we had another night's delay.
However, our tour manager, Debbie was superb. She was calm, organised and professional and made sure we were well catered for and that the holiday went ahead successfully. Hotel was good (although the food was mediocre). Some of the tours had too much travel for too little visit.

Dear Clive
Thank you for your review. We are thrilled that despite the airline cancellations, your holiday was a great success.
We appreciate your feedback regarding your Holiday Director, Debbie, and we are pleased to hear that while BA's operational changes are entirely outside our control, we are relieved she navigated them so effectively for you. We will certainly pass on your kind words.
Your feedback regarding the travel times and dining is invaluable, and we will share this with our teams as we continually refine our itineraries.
We look forward to welcoming you on a smoother journey in the future.

The itinerary was perfect for us. Karina was wonderful. Her expert knowledge enhanced every visit and her understated but effective organisation made everything work like clockwork. Karina's local knowledge meant that refreshment and lunch stops worked perfectly. The hotel was comfortable, well run with great views and helpful staff.

The actual National Parks were fantastic.
The actual holiday sites was fantastic, but the hotels, which are described as being 'hand picked' and 'great quality hotels', was basically a lie!! Most of the hotels were 2* & 3*, and we're on the outskirts of the towns which made it very difficult getting dinner, as the hotels didn't have a restaurant to eat.
Also we were placed with an inadequate tour guide who barely left the coach, apart from visits to Walmarts, which again is another story!
We have complained to Travelsphere about everything but was offered a measly amount compensation, less than 5% of the total cost of the holiday!
