On behalf of our company may I express our gratitude to the members of Argiletum Tour for organizing of DAICHI 10th annual dealers conference in Rome. Due to your high professionalism, great organization, responsibility and creative thinking our event became one of the most successful projects, which we are all proud of. Though the conference program was extremely complex, working on the event in cooperation with Argiletum Tour was easy and pleasant. We received very positive feedback from all 120 guests, which shows that together we managed to make an impressive event. We highly appreciate your work and are ready to give best reference to whom it may ever concern. Looking forward for future cooperation, Gladysheva Galina

Dear Manuela,
I just wanted to thank you for a WONDERFUL day and 1/2 in Rome!
We so enjoyed our tours with Vanessa and Francesca with our fantastic bus driver, Giuseppi, at the wheel!
The restaurant you chose (even my name, Ristorante R.! ) was simply clean, wonderful, delicious and with such professional, attentive service that I'd HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to anyone, especially groups in our position of wanting to eat a prix fixe, several course, classic, typical foods of the region, DELICIOUS meal! The portions were perfect. The tiramisu was the best any of us (many of whom LOVE tiramisu!) had ever tasted. (The same could be said, though, of the ravioli and the veal saltimbocca!) We were ALL so pleased, right down to my 13-year old son who announced that this was "the best saltimbocca and tiramisu he'd ever had in his life!" (Such a long, little life, eh? )
Our hotel was comfortable, the breakfast delicious and replete with so many choices for all ages and all tastes! To be honest, I expected a cup of coffee or tea and some bread, butter, honey and jam selections. Never did I anticipate such a wonderful spread as greeted us in the comfy, cosy dining room that morning before our wonderful Papa Benedetto XVI sighting!
In short, our stay in Rome was practically perfect in every way! Thanks for all you did, in cooperation with Grace Travel, to make it so great! Should our travels take us through Rome again, we'll be sure to request your services.
Our gratitude in Jesus through His Mother, Mary!

Please give this feedback to Francesca and the great owners of the restaurant and to any further customers who want to do a tour like that.

Dear Manuelá.
Thank you very much for your special attention with our group from Brazil.

Thank you again and we hope to have other groups in the near future.

Dear Piera,
My wife and daughter enjoyed the visit to Pompeii very much.
The chauffeur was very professional and knowledgable, and he provided a lot of meaningful information along the way to Pompeii. The guide in Pompeii was also excellent with deep knowledge about Roman history, custom, and the circumstances in Pompeii. We thank both of them for their professionalism.
Also, I want to specially thank you for arranging this wonderful trip for my family. Your effort to make the last minute arrangement is deeply appreciated.
I strongly recommend this private tour arrangement, and I am sure others will also be as satisfied as we are.
Hope you have a great evening and a successful business.
Best regards,
Eddie

Dear Piera,
I’ve just received the feedback from our clients.
The visit yesterday of the Sixtine vault and the passage by the entry of the Basilica St Pierre filled with enthusiasm everyone, even those which had already come several times. It is primarily thanks to the guide which was cordial, adores its subject obviously, and communicates it with a contagious passion. She is called Francesca but I omitted to take her family name - thus if you could thank it with a short note, I would be very grateful to you - and I really recommend her to you for all future clients... And thank you again for the visit. Our clients were really happy about it and about the guide.
Regards,
G. de C. (Mr)

I would like to thank your company for the excellent packages that you put together for my group. Everyone enjoyed the Dine around dinners on Wed, and the week tours provide for Mrs., L., Mrs, M., Mrs. R., Mrs S., and Mrs N., and Mrs F. were fantastic, My tour today was great and I loved the restaurant where we had lunch. I am only disappointed that some of my group decided to do the Vatican Tour on their own, but the ones that didn't had a great time. All restaurant selections were great. Thanks for the wonder service. If I ever visit Rome again I will be sure to look your company up. Thanks again. We had a great time!!!

Dear Manuela,
Now that we have returned home, I wanted to write to you and tell you how much I appreciated your organizing our tour to Villa D'Este and Villa Adriana. It was a delightful day.
But I especially wanted to thank you and your company for finding the bag we left on the bus and returning it to our hotel. That was most unexpected and appreciated.
Thank you again for all your assistance.
Sincerely,
B. & M.C.

Dear Manuela and Pierra,
We are back in Singapore. Thanks for arranging a wonderful trip. We had a great time. The tour guides in Venice walking tour,Florence city sightseeing, Ostia sightseeing were really good. They were very passionate about their work and we learned many things from them. Vatican tour guide was very soft and was very elaborate . All the others were also good but the above stood seperate with their passion towards guide work. Overall we enjoyed our trip and thanks to you all.
just wanted to say this and will surely pass on your details to friends who are interested to visit Italy.
thanks and have a nice day .

Thanks & Regards

I regret that I only just had internet availability this evening and just received your message. We did meet our guide on Saturday afternoon and it was a wonderfully delightful tour. We will recommend your tour to friends in the future. We would not have been available for the 9th as we left Roma this morning for France. We loved Roma and wish to visit again.
Thanks to you and the wonderful guide.

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right email address, but was wondering if you could pass a note along to Tiberius. He was our tour guide on Saturday morning at the Vatican Museum 24 March 2007.
I would just like Tiberius to know that my friends and I (there were four in my group in total) were very impressed and thoroughly enjoyed our tour with him. Especially we all commented on his passion for the history of many of the things he showed us - as opposed to someone who has only memorised facts.
So thank you again for a very enjoyable day! (Which just happened to be my birthday too!)
Many kind regards,
L. H.

Grazzi Argiletum Tours and Manuela Marciano !!
My friend K. and I just came back from a wonderful trip to Italy.
We spent a delightful 8 days touring Florence, Venice and Rome enjoying the sites, food and Italian hospitality. Argilentum Tours did a great job planning this trip for us and were available even during
All Saint's Day when there was a problem with our hotel reservation.
Our tour to Florence and Venice was a fantastic experience and we met many people with whom we became friends with. The hotels we stayed in were good value for money and located within walking distance to several amenities and Metro stations. The mishap with our hotel reservation did cause us some inconvenience, but Manuela took care of everything and we had a replacement hotel the next day. With so many tourists under Argiletum that week, I appreciate the attention that we were given on that.
Having planned our trip with Argiletum gave us the peace of mind that our trip to Italy was well taken care of and it was. I am glad we found Argiletum tours and will definitely recommend you to our friends if they ever visit Italy.
Regards.

Hi Manuela,
Mike and I are back from what we consider our best vacation ever. We totally attribute this fact to the private tours provided by your company. Antonella, in Florence was the sweetest and one of the most knowledgeable guides, as was Tiberio in Rome. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with each guide and the drivers, Massimo who we deamed the Quiet Gentleman, and Jeampierro (Sorry for the Spelling) who got us to Rome in record time. Thank you for all your assistance and please feel free to use us as a reference whenever needed.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Piera,
I write now from Naples and wanted to thank you so much for everything.
The driver was excellent. We just left him for the last time and our son
waved and my mother is sad to see Stefano go away.
Thank you so much for all of your attention to detail. Having guides was
such a new and educational experience for us.
We wanted to thank you for your time and energy and hope you are feeling
well.
Take care
Sincerely,
B. G.

Dear Manuela,
Thank you for your note,I am afraid I had already left for Roma by the time you had sent it.
May I add that the restaurant you used as a replacement was excellent and we enjoyed a wonderful meal and impeccable service.
Our guide for the tour was also wonderful and made it our best evening in Roma.
Many thanks

My wonderful Manuela,
Thank you for everything you did for us, the tours, the hotel, the
transfers!
Please thank Tiberio and Francesca for us, they were great.
Please thank the airport transfer driver for us. We told him we wanted
him to drop us off at US Air arrivals and he was so worried about us that
he would not leave us there until he talked to someone from Argiletum
Tours. Thank him for his concern.
Some morning you need to get up early and go to Hotel Veneto and go to
the roof for breakfast. That was such a treat. Such a beautiful view and
weather.
Manuela you made our trip to Rome so beautiful.
We love you.
Ciao, B.

Dear Piera Gennari,
This is B. M. here. Last month (June 27) you organized a wonderful tour for me of the Vatican museums. The tour guide was Francesca. I promised to send her an email, so would you be so kind as to please forward her this message?
Thank you very much - again!
Sincerely,
B. M.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for the wonderful tours of Naples/Capri, Florence, Ancient Rome, and The Vatican.
I'm not sure if you're the same Francesca that conducted the Vatican tour, but if you are you, you did a wonderful job.
Grazie!

Buongiorno Manuela,
We are back home after a wonderful trip. We just wanted to let you know what a wonderful experience with had with Francesca as our guide for our visit to the Vatican. She certainly showed us what an expert she was in the arts and her description of the paintings, the statutes, etc. were more than we would have hoped for. The best example was her description of Jesus as he lay in his mother’s arms (La Pieta) – she described it so well that we found ourselves with tears in our eyes – the description was very vivid and exact.
Thank you for sending her to us – it made the trip to the Vatican that much more appreciated. We would recommend her to anyone and you may be certain that we will recommend your services as well as Francesca’s to anyone who might need your help during their travels.
Best regards.
S. T.

Hello I just wanted to send an e-mail to tell you how wonderful our guide Francesca was. I booked the Vatican walking tour as well as ancient Rome walking tour and she was the guide for both. I don't think she could have done a better job. I am a travel agent so you can imagine how much I travel. Francesca was so knowledgeable and had the answers to all our questions about the Vatican and Ancient Rome At some points during our journey myself or other people in our group would stop and ask her something completely unrelated to our tour and she was right on point with her information. I just can't say enough about her. Like I said I travel quit a bit in my career and she was by far the best guide I have had. I would definitely recommend your company and Francesca to others. Please convey my gratitude for such a job well done!

Dear Manuela,
Thank you so much for taking care of this. I will be recommending your company to all my friends. We hope to visit Venice in the near future and will be sure to use you in the future!
We absolutely love Italy!

Dear Manuela
I would like to thank you very much for the tour we took of the
vatican, the guide was very informative and we were very glad we
booked the trip before we arrived in rome. You have a beautiful city
and we will return in the future.
Keep up the good work!

Dear Manuela
We are now back from our holiday in Italy which we so enjoyed!
I am writing this e-mail to say that the tours we booked through you certainly added to our enjoyment of our holiday!
A highlight of our time in Italy was our tour in Florence with Virginia- she was so informative and friendly and in all an excellent guide! I would really appreciate you forwarding me her e-mail address or phone number so I can personally thank her!
So thank you very much for your help and for the excellent service you provided!
Look forward to hearing from you
Keep well

Bonjour Francesca, j'ai mis beaucoup de temps à retrouver notre échange de correspondance que j'avais classé après nos vacances du mois d'août 2005. Je voulais absolument vous remercier pour les journées fabuleuses que nous avons passées avec C. notre guide à Rome, nous en parlons encore souvent et nous souhaitons que vous lui transmettiez nos salutations amicales. De même qu'à notre guide à Pompéi, Angelo dont nous avons apprécié l'immense culture et le sens de l'humour incomparable, s'il vous plaît transmettez notre amitié aussi. Nous espèrons les revoir un jour pas trop lointain à l'occasion d'un futur séjour en Italie.

Dear Francesca
Just thought that I would drop you a note to thank you for your arrangements for our visit to Rome (16-22 May). As always it went really well and we had a wonderful time so many thanks for your arrangements. And the B&B was as good as ever, so thanks to them, too.
Only one thought for the future: the Renault Modus does not seat 5 people comfortably!
But best wishes and I shall be in contact again when we plan our next visit.

Good Morning
On 9-17-2005, we booked a private tour, an excursion from Rome to Florence for our family (8 people). It was "wonderful"! The driver was on time and the English speaking guide (Sabina) was very good. The trip was very enjoyable both going and returning with Sabina describing the country side. However, the best part was the walking tour in Florence with "Antonietta". She was "excellent"!!! Spoke 'excellent" English, had an "outstanding" knowledge of the city and history. And as we were in the gallery viewing "Dave" she had much knowledge about Michelangelo and the Renaissance Period. We spoke as if we were friends for years. THANK YOU for this fantastic trip!!! And please let Antonietta know, just how much we enjoyed her company!!
Sincerely-
V. S.
Dear Lisia
Thank you for your message. We had a wonderful time. I'll be writing a recommendation for your website. I will get in touch with Sandra and Eric. Your guides and drivers are great and very responsible. You made our stay in Rome was simple and fun. Sharon H.
Francesca,
Mike and I had wonderful trip in Italy. We especially enjoyed our tour of Rome. Ugo was wonderful. I have told several of our friends about using your service and hope you will receive more business. Thank you again.
Warm Regards,
Lanora M.
Just a short note to say a huge thank you to both of the guides, who made our trip to Rome so enjoyable. Your ability to re-organise things at short notice was exemplary and you were all so friendly and helpful. And that says nothing of the hundreds of years of history and culture that we really 'experienced' with your help. I will recommend you to everyone I know!
Also, just to say/apologise: You did indeed send vouchers/confirmations. I guess I just overlooked them in my excitement! Sorry.
Wishing your business every success and please thank the guides for us.
Best regards,
VJ

On behalf of my family, I would like to thank you for the wonderful tours you
arranged for us in Italy.
We very much enjoyed each day. The
vans
were clean and comfortable, the drivers were pleasant and the tour guides were delightful.
We especially enjoyed the guides we had in San Gimignano/Volterra and in
Rome. Monica and Linda were such fun to spend a day with. They
both had
great enthusiasm and knowledge for the cities they shared with us. It
was truely a pleasure.
Again, our thanks for three excellent tours. We'll highly recommed you!

francesca ...
z and I have returned from our journey to Italy ...
we had a wonderful time ... our guide for the two-day tour was
Isabella ... she was OUTSTANDING ... her knowledge of the "sights" and archeological
experience made for a memorable 2 day tour ... not only did she provide
us with exceptional service, when our global cell phone was accidently
left at the vatican, she retrieved it the next day and forwarded it
to texas in just one week's time ... it was a miracle ... she went
above and beyond the call of her duties and for that we will be forever
grateful ... we have expressed our personal thanks to her as well
... our driver Flavio was extremely helpful, and his driving
was planned and carefully thought out for our maximum adventure
... both of your guides were extremely professional, thoughtful,
and very helpful ... making our journey to rome and the other
sites a fantastic memory that will be engraved on our hearts,
and scrapbooks, forever ... if there are ever any questions
about these two people, we will certainly vouch for their characters
and expertise on-line ... you can use us as references for anyone
who would ask ... cheers to them for making our stay a most
enjoyable memory ... thank you for taking care of our needs
with this dynamic duo ... they were the best ...
fondly, brenda and oz, fort worth, texas ... usa
On behalf of Broadway Malyan, Steve Bragg and the rest of the
Group, I wish to thank you very much for the excellent way the tour
was arranged. Your guides were helpful and informative and
made us very welcome. They also confirmed how much they enjoyed
the tours to the wonderful modern buildings since this was a different
form of tour than the traditional visits to the sights of your beautiful
city.
The restaurant at the vineyards was marvellous. It
was further assisted by the Sunset over Roma as we arrived. This,
together with an excellent sparkling wine, created a superb atmosphere
to begin the meal. Please pass on my thanks to the owner for
his hospitality.
We look forward to seeing you again very
soon.
I want to thank
you for the marvellous tour of the Vatican I went on this past Sunday
while in Rome. I especially want to commend the tour guide, Serena,
who was superb. This young lady is vastly knowledgeable about art,
as filtered through an archaeologist’s
lens, and she communicates her passion for the subject with extraordinary
charm and effectiveness. This tour was the highlight of my Roman
trip.
Thanks very much.
Best,
