We can’t believe that for three whole weeks nothing went wrong. 
All of our guides, drivers and assistants were very professional, courteous and most important, on time.
We are already looking forward to our next trip to Italy.

I have just returned from my trip and I wanted to say thank you for a fantastic vacation.
We were traveling with friends that had never been to Italy before and they had a wonderful time. 
The special handling that we got when we arrived in Rome was especially nice. 
Louis met us and made us feel relaxed from the start. 
With many thanks and best wishes.

We wanted a private tour for our 10th anniversary and what you arranged was 1st class.
Everything went smoothly and we cannot express our gratitude.
All of our tour guides were very gracious and knowledgeable about the tour.
Our drivers were always on time, spoke excellent English and gave us an insight to Italian culture.

Hi Laura,
as a tour guide myself, I am, I suppose, the most critical sort of audience, but I was simply knocked over by
the whole experience. This is the trip you always dreamed about but never imagined could happen.
We were amazed at how informed and educated our guides were regarding Rome, Florence and Venice.

Dear Paolo,
I have just returned from my trip to Italy and Britain and thought I would write to thank you for
our marvellous day in Florence.
We had a long list of art and sights to visit and with one exception we saw them all.
Here we decided to stop for lunch so it was our decision.
Our driver was excellent tireless and enthusiastic.
His name is Patricio (or close) and his English as well as his knowledge of his beloved city
could not have been better. Thank you and our driver for a wonderful day.
Sincerely
Nola Tegel - Cobbitty - Australia
 
 
 
 
I have just returned from my 9-day trip to Italy (Rome, Florence and Venice) and
I wanted to thank you for doing such an excellent job of taking care of us in Rome.
The tours with Paulo were outstanding, he was very knowledeable and did a fantastic
job of explaining to us what we were seeing. The drivers and vehicles for transport were very good.
We used a driver for the airport, 2 tours and trip to the train station and all were on time and
courteous.
I will say I panicked when I arrived in Italy because I couldn't find my driver -- he had a sign saying
John Gimbalunga (we saved it as a memento) while my last name is Gambadoro but eventually he
found us and we confirmed the name. I host one of the most popular radio shows in America and
I have already been asked about the tours by some listeners and gave some great reccomendations
of your company.
Thanks again for being so professional and doing a nice job on our trip to Rome.    
John Gambadoro - Phoenix - USA

Dear Laura,
Thank you so very much for making our trip complete. 
We adored our driver and the vehicle was very comfortable.
We were apprehensive at first, booking an excursion overseas, but your driver
was at the dock in Italy waiting for us when we got off the ship. 
He spoke perfect English, told us interesting facts about each city, and was
always on time and at the exact spot he said he would be!  
Florence and Pisa CAN be done in one day with the right help -
I would highly recommend you and your staff to anyone traveling from the USA overseas.
Thank you again!

Hi,
we thoroughly enjoyed our trip on March 20 while in Rome.  Louis was
professional, knowledgeable and an enjoyable driver and guide. 
Our tour started with a trip through "new Rome" down to the
Castel Romano Outlet outside of Rome. 
It was nice to see the modern side of the city. 
The night tour of Rome was incredible!  Louis shared information with us
about Rome that we would have never gotten on a bus tour, and taking a
limo tour allowed us to see parts of Rome that buses just can't get to. 
We were also able to stop for pictures, rather than just flying by as you
often do on a bus tour. 
We also had a great dining experience at a restaurant Louis recommended
to us. 
On our next trip to Rome, we'll definitely call you again!
4 mini-groups of our larger group of 25 used your company for night limo
tours and all of them had a great experience!  
Cathy Hankins - Columbus, Ohio
 
 
We were so thrilled with every aspect of the tour, from the Lake Como tour
with the driver Antonio to the Pompeii tour with the guide Christina.
They provided such a high level of professionalism, that we were very
impressed.
We cannot stop talking about the trip.
Once again, thank you so much for everything.
Rick Diaz - Austin TX
 
Just wanted you to know how wonderful everything was.
The guides and drivers were all great.
Especially Franca (Guide in Florence) and Tony (Rome driver).
I will definitely recommend you to my friends.
And the next time we want to travel to Italy again,we will contact your
company again!
Ciao

Laura,
Just a quick note to thank you for your assistance in reserving a car at the last
minute in Sorrento on October l4th.
We had a beautiful day on the Amalfi Coast, and Francesco, our driver was a
delight to have as our escort for the day. 
It was just what I had hoped it would be - a day where we could set out own
pace, and he helped us make this a possibility. 
Regards.
Phoebe Comstock - Downers Grove IL

Laura:
We had our tour of Positano and Ravello today with the driver Maurice,
and Ugo as our guide.
This is a photo of my wife and I having our lunch at the Terrace
Restaurant at the Hotel Caruso
I also wanted to pass along our highest compliments and regards for
the performance of both Maurice and Ugo.
They were challenged by very heavy traffic along the Amalfi highway
and still managed to get us to our lunch safely, well informed and on time.
I would highly recommend both Maurice and Ugo to your other clients as
excellent people to drive and guide anyone wishing to visit this part of
your wonderful country.
We look forward to having a similar experience with your company in our
other scheduled trips on this voyage.
Just to let you know, I can send email but I cannot receive email until our
return to the United States.
Ciao a presto! David.

On August 3rd Louis was our driver for our Rome tour.  He was

Dear Laura,  
I want to thank you, Felipe and your staff for taking care of the
Smith Family while they were in your area. 
Mrs.  Smith feels she and her family received excellent service and care,
learned a great deal from Felipe and wanted me to let you know how much
she appreciated your company for its service that is above and beyond the
call of duty. 
I understand that Felipe also served the needs of the Bengard family as well. 
They have not returned from their trip yet.
