点评:Private Tour: Amalfi Coast by Vintage Vespa from Positano
We loved the Vespa riding itself! Good drivers. Safe drivers. Enjoyable people. Couldn’t have been nicer to us. Fun, fun, fun!
Our tour started about ten to fifteen minutes late in Positano, because, although the three of us arrived early, the directions to meet were not quite accurate. The leader wasn't allowed next to the garage where we were told to meet, and we did not pick him out on the street around the corner as he didn't have the Vespas nearby. I made contact with the office to help us find each other. However, this apparently meant we were late for the Emerald Cave tour, which we did not learn until later, and it was a costly tour error. When we arrived at the cave, we had to wait for the next tour, and the whole thing took an HOUR of our Vespa time – an extra 30 minutes! The whole thing came to about $160 riding time + $24 in entrance fees! This Emerald Cave is totally a tourist trap! Ask to skip it! I wish it had been explained and that we had been given a choice to go or not go. I thought we would make up for some of this wasted time at the end of the tour, but unfortunately, that did not happen. It only rushed the day’s itinerary.
The guided spots were a beautiful bridge with swimming area, the outside of the Amalfi Cathedral with a stop for coffee and delizia al limone (delicious), and one beautiful overlook terrace. Riders are sent on their own to the Emerald Cave and to Villa Rufolo in Ravello (separate costs).
Danillo pointed out a good lunch spot in Ravillo where we were given one hour to tour Villa Rufolo and to dine. The time was way too short and very, very rushed for the villa and lunch both. In fact, the man in the restaurant surprised me with a free limoncello, because he said we needed to slow down and enjoy! I only wish we could have. The food was so amazing! I had to ask Danillo for extra time to pop into the ceramic shop, which was cheerfully granted, but the tour ended at the slotted time anyways.
We did not “explore” Positano. We just rode through it. “Visit Positano with a walk in the center between boutiques and craft shops, before getting off at the beach to enjoy the famous views of the colorful village of Positano.” Never happened.
Neither did we receive a “typical Neopolitan gift,” as stated on the tour page of included items.
We did not stop for any Vespa rider photos at any known photographic spots. I wish we had. A real loss. Maybe the drivers could suggest some spots in the future?
Recommendation to the company: Show the riders a timeline before starting so that there can be better communication and use of time. I think the drivers are people of integrity and really want to please the customer.

我们喜欢骑 Vespa 本身!好司机。安全的司机。愉快的人。对我们再好不过了。好玩,好玩,好玩!
我们的旅行在波西塔诺开始大约晚了十到十五分钟,因为虽然我们三个人早到了,但见面的方向并不十分准确。领导不允许在我们被告知会面的车库旁边,我们也没有在拐角处的街道上接他,因为他附近没有 Vespas。我联系了办公室,帮助我们找到对方。然而,这显然意味着我们的翡翠洞之旅迟到了,我们直到后来才知道,这是一个代价高昂的旅行错误。当我们到达洞穴时,我们不得不等待下一次旅行,整个过程花费了我们 Vespa 一个小时的时间——额外的 30 分钟!整件事总计约 160 美元的骑行时间 + 24 美元的入场费!这个翡翠洞完全是一个旅游陷阱!要求跳过它!我希望它得到了解释,并且我们可以选择去还是不去。我以为我们会在旅行结束时弥补一些浪费的时间,但不幸的是,这并没有发生。只是赶了一天的行程。
带导游的景点是一座带游泳区的美丽桥梁,阿马尔菲大教堂的外面设有咖啡和 delizia al limone(美味),以及一个美丽的俯瞰露台。骑手将自行前往翡翠洞和拉韦罗的鲁菲洛别墅(费用另计)。
Danillo 指出了 Ravillo 的一个不错的午餐地点,我们有一个小时的时间参观 Villa Rufolo 并用餐。时间太短了,别墅和午餐都非常非常匆忙。事实上,餐厅里的那个人用免费的柠檬酒让我感到惊讶,因为他说我们需要放慢脚步享受!我只希望我们能拥有。食物太棒了!我不得不向 Danillo 请求额外的时间进入陶瓷店,我们欣然同意了,但无论如何,这次巡演还是在规定的时间结束了。
我们没有“探索”波西塔诺。我们只是骑马穿过它。 “在精品店和工艺品商店之间的中心散步,参观波西塔诺,然后在海滩下车,欣赏波西塔诺多彩村庄的著名景色。”从来没有发生过。
我们也没有收到“典型的 Neopolitan 礼物”,如包含物品的旅游页面上所述。
我们没有在任何已知的摄影点停下来拍摄任何 Vespa 骑手的照片。我希望我们有。一个真正的损失。也许司机们可以在未来推荐一些景点?
给公司的建议:出发前给车友看一个时间线,这样可以更好的沟通和利用时间。我认为司机是正直的人,真的很想取悦客户。
