Thank you so much, Lynn! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tour. It was a pleasure meeting you and Dom and having you with us. Alice and I loved sharing the experience with such a fun, adventurous group. We’re delighted the mix of wineries, culture, and cuisine made it memorable. We’ll pass along your kind words to Miro and Molly too. Hope to see you on another adventure!

Dear Nick, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on the ZAP! Naples, Amalfi Coast & Campania Tour. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that the experience didn’t meet your expectations, and we appreciate both your praise and your concerns. This tour is a bit different from others we host in that a portion of the price supports Zinfandel Advocates and Producers (ZAP), a California non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting Zinfandel. It also includes the presence of a California-based winemaker, which we believe adds a unique dimension for wine lovers, though we understand that this may not have been apparent in the overall experience. Regarding the hotels, our accommodations are all 4-star properties that we’ve carefully selected for comfort and location. While we recognize they may not meet the standards of 5-star luxury resorts, they are consistently well-rated and chosen to support an itinerary filled with daily excursions and activities. These same hotels have been used in all our past Naples, Amalfi Coast & Campania tours with positive feedback. (This includes a version of this itinerary from just last month.) As for the wine and food, we’re a bit puzzled by the contrast in your review—on one hand noting the quality as low, while also highlighting a great food and wine experience as one of the tour’s strengths. We’d truly welcome any specific feedback you’re willing to share so we can better understand and improve. In Irpinia, the wine region of Campania, our visits are structured to maximize the day by including two wineries in the same general area, separated by lunch. Travel time is kept to a minimum, with no leg longer than an hour or so. We aim to strike a thoughtful balance between exploration and relaxation. Lastly, we want to address your concern about the elderly couple. Throughout all group activities—walking tours, winery visits, meals, and transportation—both Alice and I were attentive to their needs and safety. While we can’t accompany guests during their free time, we regret that it felt like their presence affected your experience, and we thank you for your compassion toward fellow travelers. We sincerely appreciate your candid feedback and are always working to refine our tours. Thank you again for traveling with us. Warm regards, Sam Kimball Crush Wine Experiences
