Ischia day trip: group boat tour with lunch

As a sea lover that I am, I booked an island tour through my hotel with lunch and swimming in coves. Everything exceeded my expectations! Young and welcoming staff, excellent aperitif and award-winning lunch! Not only was everything very good, but it was also presented in an appealing way and organized so as to have refreshments after every swim! I recommend that everyone rely on Seadream! Pampering and unforgettable swims abundantly deserve the 75 euros asked!

We did the full day tour of the island on a large motor vessel. We enjoyed the day immensely. The only downside was the lack of a fluent English speaking guide. However it was still a great day & exceptional value for money. Highly recommendable.

It was a fantastic experience thanks to the skipper who was very kind, super professional, and well-prepared.

With my children, I decide to rent a dinghy and tour the island on our own. I arrive early at the rental point and a lady tells me to park the car near the wall. Not convinced, I ask a fisherman who tells me that it is forbidden there and the port authority has cars removed!!! After 20 minutes I find a parking spot, I go to the rental place and report what the fisherman told me, and she, with a know-it-all attitude, tells me yes, it's true they remove them, but they never do it!!!! Oh well, let's drop it... I pay 100€ for a half day and for the gas upon return based on consumption. I take a photo of the gas level and, for safety, of the engine foot. The rental finished, I return, a guy sees the fuel level, exactly at half, and reports it to the lady who tells me 50.00€!!! I make a sour face... how does she know that I have to pay 50.00€ for gas!! oh well, I take out my credit card and she tells me NO CASH ONLY. Not having any, I tell her that if she wants I have the card, otherwise I have nothing else. We argue and at my request "let's go to the gas station, fill up the tank, and I'll pay with a card!!" And no, you can't. Annoyed, I ask how she calculated the 50€ and she tells me you used half a tank! It's a shame that I didn't leave with a full tank, as per the photo I showed you, but you insist and tell me it's 23 liters, equal to €50. In the end, you accept the credit card, and I, without further discussion, leave very annoyed. STAY FAR AWAY; there are others who rent and are serious people!! I won't write anything else.....
