Alex made it easy for us to change the tour to suit our interests. He is friendly, earnest and easygoing. He shared interesting facts about the differences in cultures of northern / southern Italy as well. We wanted to see the major historical sites, but he also took us to lesser known sites and areas. Grazie mille!

Alex was an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable and considerate with a good sense of humour. We enjoyed our time with him immensely. He was kind enough to send us some restaurant recommendations as well.
