    What travelers think of our experiences in Europe

    I was looking for an introduction to Rome and Indira didn’t not disappoint. She brought us to a great coffee shop to start us off for our three hour tour! She showed us around most of the big attractions as well as a beautiful spot off the beaten path. We got a good feel of the city by the time the tour was over. She also gave some advice after she left . If it’s your first time in Rome I highly recommend getting a tour guide.

    Mary Angela was informative and fun. Her knowledge of Perugia and it's food was impressive. We tasted the best chocolates offered in the city. We took in the best views. We even watched a true artist paint. Grazie mille !

    The tour was comprehensive and wide ranging. Filippo my guide was very knowledgeable and demonstrated as detailed understanding of Siena. I visited all the key sites of the city except the Castle. The tour was for three hours.

    This private tour was a look at Florence from a local’s perspective, which is what we wanted. We hired Claudio to fill in a free morning during our Italy tour with a larger group. He provided us with a more personalized perspective on Florence, including a visit to the less touristy side of the Arno river. Claudio really engages with us personally, rather than giving a set piece presentation. He treated us to coffee in a beautiful historic café and entertained us with all sorts of stories. It was a great way to spend a couple of hours in Florence.
