Zurich Traditions & Heritage: Rituals, Stories & Daily Life

The guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, the food experience great. Pam

We truly enjoyed our walking tour of Napoli with Nunzia! She met us at our hotel and took us through several neighborhoods, sharing knowledge all along about how Napoli has changed over the centuries—the people, the architecture, the decisions and quirks of different rulers. She took us to many beautiful churches and landmarks, from the very busy parts of the Spanish Quarter to some quiet refuges in the city where we could enjoy a peaceful garden or hear music students practicing. She even treated us to some wonderful gelato! Above all she made us feel very welcomed, she was so genuine and helpful. We have been much more comfortable getting around the city thanks to her guidance and many great suggestions!

Claudio was the perfect guide for our first day in Bologna. The tour was low key and leisurely, helped orient us to the city, included some important history with some unique facts I don't think you'd find in the guide books. Claudio also shared some favorite spots for food - we ate at them all over the next few days and they did not disappoint! He was kind, on time, and flexible to our needs. All in all - a great experience.

The four of us (2 couples) did a three hour private walking tour of Florence. Our guide, Martina was exceptional. Her knowledge of the history of Florence as well as the key families that shaped the growth of Florence was very well articulated. It made all the difference in our understanding and enjoyment of the city. Martina took the time to understand what we were interested in and planned our walk around our interests. She patiently answered our questions and frequently checked in with us during the tour to ensure we were getting what we wanted and the pace of the tour was really up to us. At the end of the tour she provided us with recommendations for restaurants, wine windows, shopping, and other areas of interest in Florence. Thank you Martina for such a wonderful tour!

Pascal is the very BEST! He met us at our hotel. I asked him to teach us the metro, which he did!!! He took us to St. Germain and we walked and explored the surrounding area. He showed us hidden court yards and back streets. He took us in and around the art district, to the place Ben Franklin started writing the constitution. He spoke English very well. Had a great understanding of the rich culture and history of the area we were in. Thank You so much Pascal!!

One of the best decisions we made on this trip was to have a private tour of Venice led by Benedetta. She is very warm and friendly, and clearly she is passionate about Venice. Prior to our trip she was gracious enough to answer several question I had about the area and that helped me plan better. We had a really great time. Thanks Benedetta!
