Good evening Piera

We are now back at home and I wanted to write and thank you for arranging such a fantastic experience of Rome for us. WE had such a wonderful time.

Hotel Barocco was…superb. It’s a lovely hotel, really well placed for what we wanted. Their customer service is excellent and all the staff are so attentive; receptionists, the room cleaners and the breakfast team. The rooms themselves are very modern and maintained immaculately.

The Taxis were great too. Always arrived early / on time, clean and nothing ever seemed too much trouble.

However I save the best until last – Grazia. What a wonderful asset she is to your business. Her knowledge of Rome is unbelievable. She answered soooo many questions from me and never forgot anything I asked her. She was always so warm and friendly towards us both; she made us feel like we have a new friend. She is also so passionate about her work and her love for Roma is so evident. Grazia must go to the same buildings and areas of Rome every month, every week, every day but she retains all that enthusiasm that we had seeing these for the first time. Her story telling is fabulous; she’s able to bring those ancient times to life and she can always add a little bit of humour to every story “So Constantine gets on his mobile phone to Egypt and says ‘bring me that Obelisk to Rome”. As I said, she’s a real asset to your business – thank you for introducing her to us.

So Rome is a memory not -0 but what a wonderful memory.
When we come next time perhaps we can bring you both out to dinner?!!
Until then, thank you for arranging such a wonderful few days.

Best wishes,
Chris

Hello
Mr. B.B.wanted me to send you an email to thank you and the guide who took his daughters around Rome.  His daughters told him that it was the best tour they have been on and everything went perfect.  The coordination of timing from start to finish was seamless.   The guide who took the daughters around on the tour was a delight and very knowledgeable.  I really appreciate your VIP experience you arranged for them and you are going to be my first recommendation to any of my clients going to Rome. Thank you
Have a great day,
S.

Dear Mrs., Mr.

Friday 29th June I booked a guided tour for me and my son through ancient Rome. I write you this email in order to express my admiration for the guide. Although it was my fourth visit to Rome and ancient Rome has my special interest for years, mrs. Barbara turned out a well-informed source of new information also for me. During the day, despite the hot weather that wore us all down, she shared her considerable knowledge with us in a modest and sympathetic way, also towards less informed groupmembers. She did this in almost flawless English, with a charming Italian accent. In short I would like to let you know that guides like mrs. Barbara make guided tours more than worthwile. So I want to say ’thrice hurray’ for mrs. Barbara, and want to thank her again for her endurance, knowledge and communicative skills.

Kind regards,
Drs. W. de V.

Hi Piera,
I just want to write to you thanking you for arranging our recent trip. Although it has some little surprises, the overall experience is great and fantastic. My husband, David, and myself have enjoyed our stay in Italy. We are very impressed with your services especially your prompt responses to our questions. You understand what our needs are and able to tailor the program accordingly. The itinerary is not taxing and rush, so that we are able to see more at the various cities. We are happy to be your references as satisfied customers from Singapore and Baku.
For your info, I’ve shared your contact info and the itinerary with some of my friends who are looking at Italy as a holiday destination. Please assist them if they get in touch with you.
Have a blessed 2013 filled with good health, happiness and love.

Cheers, Margaret

Good morning Piera, It was wonderful to finally meet you!
Thank you for coming to the hotel to do so! I cannot thank you enough, I cannot express to you enough the appreciation for all you did for me and my group! You went above and beyond what was expected from a tour company Everyone had a great time, including me! And I attribute that to you! As I mentioned to you when we met, at the hotel, the only thing I will change is the time and day our group goes to the Vatican Museum. You suggested getting there earlier, so I will take your advice and do so! Each guide you sent us could not have been better! Please send my thanks especially to Claudia! What a professional she is!
Everyone just loved her! She did a great job! I will definitely go back to the winery we visited! The owners were great to us! What a wonderful family! That you again for all of your patience and time you gave me! As Francesco told me, you and your company really are the best in the business!

Take care and thank you again! Sincerely, Michael B.

Hi, Rather belatedly I am responding to our guides suggestion that we leave feedback for you.

We booked a guided tour for Friday 7th December and our guide was a lady called Barbara.
We were a party of 4 and another 3 people were in the organised guide so it was a very close group of people and we all benefited greatly from Barbara’s extensive knowledge. She made everything so much more interesting than if we had just wandered around on our own. We found the whole tour to be well managed and efficient and Barbara was more than happy to answer any questions we had.
So thank you to your company and of course your guide, Barbara for our wonderful Rome experience.
Kind regards,

Catherine J.

To whom it may concern,

We booked a walking tour of the Vatican (museum, Chapel and Basilica) on Friday 28 September 2012 at 8:30. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and were so grateful for Barbara, the wonderful tour guide, who showered us with the most interesting of information. We loved her deep understanding of all the art work, history and architecture, she was able to answer all our questions and had a wonderful sense of humor!

Thank you Barbara!

Dear Manuelá. Thank you very much for your special attention with our group from Brazil. They loved their stay in Rome, and my Partner Edson told me that everything was perfect. 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!!! D. N. C. N. E. S.

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.

I have never written to a company concerning their prouducts or services before, but this time I felt compelled to due to the high quality of servive and personal attention afforded our tour group.
Our group of 6 took the Colosseum tour with your guide Barbara on the afternoon of Thursday August 18 and all of us were impressed and enriched by the experience. In fact, for me personally, it was the highlight of my trip to Rome. We were all delighted by the details brought out by Barbara which we would otherwise would have missed, such as the real name of the Colosseum (Flavius amphitheatre), the everyday articles used by the people and even the bathrooms the ancient people used. We would definitely recommend your company and your guide Barbara to anyone who wants to visit Rome.
Sincerely, Maddison H., Cheri W., Carl S., J.B. Kim, Chris W. and Mark H.

Dear Piera,
Thank you for the below email, sorry I did not get back to you sooner.
I would like to say a massive thank you on behalf on husband and I, as we thourly enjoyed our guided tour around Rome. It was a truly magical night, and enjoyed ourselves enourmously! Please would you pass on our thanks to our guide, as she was wonderful and took great care of us.
We loved the show at the end of the night. We will recommend you to all we know who will be going to Rome. Again a huge thank you! Kind Regards Beth D.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing this mail to show my appreciation of tour guide.
I took your underground and ancient Roma tour on July 12th, guided by Barbara. She is very knowledge about the history, arts, and many other things of Roma, and she is very nice and patient for us. Her guiding let me feel really worth the time to take the tour, and your tour really is a good purchasing.
I will attend your tours in future, and hope I will meet Barbara in future.
Thanks with Best Regards,

We would like you to know that we had wonderful walking tour of the ancient roman sites with our tour guide Barbara. She shared her extensive knowledge in a way that tailored the tour to our specific interests and background. Her friendly professionalism made this a very special afternoon for us.
On the basis of our experience, we will definitely recommend your company to our friends in New Zealand and the UK.

Dear Operator,

I would like to apologize for taking long to give you a feedback of our trip to Rome. We arrived safely in Kampala.
The children together with the teachers really enjoyed our tour around Roma. Your tour guides particularly, Barbara was fantastic in explaining and showing us around Rome.
We liked everything we saw and did while in Rome and we still have a very strong memory of those moments.Stefan the driver was so kind and patient with us even when the children delayed or acted inappropriately on the bus. The hotel staff were very kind to us and took very good care of us.Thank you so much and greetings in behalf of Rainbow International School , Kampala- Uganda. I look forward to coming to Rome again in future.
Yours,
Margaret

Barbara was fantastic today and we could not have been more pleased with our Rome experience. Thank you so much for arranging all of this and we will be sure to refer you to our friends.
Take care,

Dear Argiletum Tours,

Recently my son’s and I took two tours from Barbara who was representing your agency. She did such a nice job that I wanted to write you and thanks you. We took the Vatican tour in the morning and the Colosseum tour in the afternoon. I have taken more than 5 tours of these sights and I have to say that Barbara was the best tour guide I have ever had. She was both knowledgeable and personable. Her degree in Art History was great at the Vatican and by the time we got to the Colosseum it was like a personal friend was showing us the sights. We had become such good friends that it was even a little uncomfortable to tip her in the afternoon because I didn’t want to offend her. But she did such a wonderful job and our group was so small that I felt she very much deserved a nice tip for the time she spent with us. I am sure that on my return trips to Rome I will have other tour guides but there will only ever be one “Angel of Padua”

Saluti,

David W.

Dear Argiletum Tours,

We toured the Vatican Museum, the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica on Monday, February 20. We were blessed by having a wonderful tour guide from your business – Sia. Ra Francesca.
She is an EXCELLENT tour guide! Her knowledge of art history and her love for the buildings and the art was so apparent! We learned so much from her and we were able to apply much of what we learned as we continued to tour Rome the rest of the week. Her explanations were easy to understand, especially since she was explaining very complex works of art and their history. We were so fortunate to be in a small group (only 6)! Our guide was personable, charming, extremely knowledgeable and displayed great reverence and respect for the buildings, the art and the history. She made our Vatican tour a first-class experience!
Thank you for having her on your staff.

Dear Piera,

Thank you for arranging the tour today at the Colosseum. Please also convey my sincere thanks to Demetrio.
We had him for the Vatican tour last week and it was a pleasant surprise to have him as our tour guide again today! As before, he was most knowledgeable with the history of Rome and Italy. We can tell that for him, being a tour guide is not simply a job, but a passion. He really shows that he loves his work and his country when he explains all the historical details about Rome. If and when we come back to Rome, we will definitely ask for Demetrio again.
We will most certainly recommend Argiletum Tour to our friends and relatives who may wish to visit Rome in the future.
regards, C. L.

Dear Pietra,
Thank you for arranging the car service for our trip to Fiumicino Airport early Monday morning. Andreas was right on time and got us to the airport very quickly. Our travel day was very long on Monday, and we returned to California with no problems. I am very happy that I met you and appreciate your help during our visit to Rome. We love Italy and hope to return again soon!
Grazie mille. Lei e molto gentile. L. L.

Our Vatican Tour
We GREATLY enjoyed our tour to the Vatican with Demetrio as our guide. He was excellent! Great with the kids, knowledgeable, charismatic and a joy to watch and listen to.
Thank you for making our Vatican experience so informative and fun.
We are looking forward to our tour of Ancient Rome on Thursday. If Demetrio is our guide for this tour as well we would be very pleased. If he will not be our guide on Thursday we hope we will get someone as great as he! He really was fantastic. Thanks again, Michelle C.

Estimada Piera, sólo quería decirte que nos encantó el tour, sobre todo por la compañía de Lucila, sus explicaciones y su simpatía. Mil gracias, de verdad que ha sido todo un placer, espero que podamos repetir prontoUn cordial saludo M.

………………………

Dear Piera,
I write you this mail to give my feed back concerning my group to Rome.
Generally speaking the trip was excellent. Please find my comments below.
1. the hotel :
As you told me I think the Hotel xxxx is a 4* in place of a 5*. We sell it like a 4 so clients where generally satisfied. The room equipment is for a few rooms not good thought (no place to put the soap on the bath,…). 1 client was taking a bath when suddenly the bath tube broke one feet and felt, so all the water was on the room, on the corridor,… we can laugh of that but it shows that everything is not really finished. Food was good but not very special and not especially Italian. We like when we go abroad to eat some local food. The clients most appreciated the view to Rome from the 9th floor.
2. the guide :
Demetrio is an EXCELLENT guide. He was perfect for this group. He knows every date, he speaks a lot and has every time the answer to questions. The fact that we used the radio was also very good. A few clients have some difficulties to walk and the group was often separated but with the radio everybody could ear what Demetrio said. So I really would like to thank you to have attributed Demetrio to the group.

Bonjour Francesca,
Vraiment désolé je viens de me rendre compte que je n’ai pas pris le temps de te faire un retour !
La cliente était assez pressée quand je l’ai eu au téléphone.
En tout cas un grand merci car les clients étaient tres content.
Ils ont apprécié le guide le programme et l’ hôtel.
Elle m’a juste dit qu’elle était génée que la guide de reste pas manger avec eux… ! c’est drole car d’habitude les clients n’aiment pas trop que les guides restent…
En tout cas aucune critique parfait!
Merci énormement et promis je pense a toi dès que l’Italie se présente à nous.
Très bonne continuation.
Cordialement, Maud C.

We would like to thank you, Francesca and our tour guides, for all of your help in planning and arranging our tours with you. We took the group of four tours (Vatican, Piazzas, Ancient Rome, Pompeii). The tours were very informative, including the basic facts as well as details that you couldn\’t find in a tour book, and the tour guides were excellent. The size of our groups were wonderful (about 6-8 people per group), each tour guide was more than happy to answer questions, and one even escorted us to the Scavi Tour at the end of his tour, which was very helpful. Thank you for all of your help. You made our trip to Rome fun and memorable. Katherine and Christopher

………………………

Dear Friends,

This is just to say how very much my daughter and I enjoyed our tours both yesterday and today with Barbara. She was so informative, enthusiastic, gracious and helpful. It was lovely to listen to her speak English … she was not only poised and articulate, but American English sounds infinitely better with a beautiful Italian accent. It is apparent that Barbara loves her subject matter… viewing art through her eyes was a memorable experience, and to also benefit from the historical background and information she shared about personalities of the artists and religious figures was an additional highlight. The tours exceeded my expectations due to Barbara’s expertise and delightful personality.
I will definitely recommend the company to others and Barbara in particular!
Cheers, Leslie S.

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! G.

Dear Francesca, I would like to thank you and all the members of your stuff, and express my gratitude on behalf of our entire team, your excellent services through out the trip in Italy exceeded our expectations. Our customers were fully satisfied and delighted. Hope we will hear from each others very soon.
With kindest Regards.

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 N.

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. D. C.

Thank you, we apologize for being late today for the tour, and we really appreciate the guide for waiting for us. He is an excellent guide and we enjoyed every minute of his tour V. N.

Hi, I’m not sure if this is the right email address, but was wondering if you could pass a note along to Demetrio. He was our tour guide on Saturday morning at the Vatican Museum 24 March. I would just like Demetrio 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. R. E. Singapore

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 Demetrio 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, J. & M. M.

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 C. F.

My wonderful Manuela, Thank you for everything you did for us, the tours, the hotel, the transfers! Please thank Demetrio 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! Al

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! O. C.

………………………

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! Gracia! N.

………………………

Just a few words to let you know that we were very satisfied with the service we had & the tour guide FRANCESCA was very helpful & she knew her business, if any of my friends need your service I will be more than glad to recommend you, thanks again & chaq M.S.

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! Kind Regards M.

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 K. L.

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. Cordialement I. R.

Bonjour Francesca, Merci beaucoup pour votre aide. Le client a été ravi. Vous êtes manifestement de bon conseil. Au plaisir de retravailler ensembles. Bonne journée. S.

Dear Francesca Thank you very much for your special attention. THe group was very happy with the services in Italy. Thank you again and we hope to have other groups in the near future. Thks Sergio


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. Michael E.

Good Morning, 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.
