Guided Tour of Naples on a Vintage Trolley (Hop on - Hop off)

The tour was nice. We saw a lot of new things…. BUT, the tour guide talked non-stop from the moment we got on the tour until we departed. He did not stop talking. And yes, he’s a tour guide , but we heard stories about his shopping trip to Macys, about him telling his wife if he goes bald he would wear a “rug” (I am bald with no “rug), to stories about the different types of palm trees, to jokes the red head female passenger, and his many different assignments and fancy clients he transported, his kids, and his opinion on allowing dogs in restaurants, blah blah blah The focus was clearly not to educate us on Naples…he was focused solely on himself. He did not recommend a single place to eat and ever so briefly discussed shopping… he was actually horrible. We left the trip knowing more about the driver than Naples. As the title says, talk talk talk… but in the end, we knew more about the driver.

Expected so much more Not really a tour tranquil ride through there doesn’t seem much to see for a tour other than a quick pass millionaire homes

James the driver had the best personality for the job. He made it very light-hearted and fun. Would recommend this trip for everyone

Our Guide was great! It was very hot and he kept the bus nice and cool and the music was jamming. Some stops were not accessible due to construction but otherwise it was great!

We took this bus tour recently and offer the following pros and cons. Pros: easy to make online reservations; helpful representative at the trolley station; ran on time; nice bus-not too cramped, good a/c and sound system; driver was friendly, drove safely and stayed on time; covered a lot of stunningly beautiful areas in a relatively short time; most of the tour was recorded commentary and not narrated by driver, which made it easier to understand; very comprehensive route covered a lot of the city and surroundings. Cons: way too much of the tour was geared towards what must be paid advertisers-I really wanted to hear more about history, nature, and significant local sites. but mixed in were what sounded like tv commercials for random local places ; too much "forced fun"-I do not like to have to listen to loud rock music, participate in sing-alongs, or do YMCA moves, which there was too much of. Overall, I thought it was ok, but given how interesting the area is, seems like it could be much better with a revamped approach to the sites.
