“Our experience with driver Lucco and tour guide Alexander was absolutely wonderful. Lucco got us everywhere safely, quickly, and smoothly—even through the steep hills and twirling roads of the town. His driving was confident and precise, making us feel secure the entire way. Alexander was knowledgeable, patient, and kind. I was traveling with three elderly companions who were a handful to say the least, yet he guided us with such grace and understanding. His explanations were clear, engaging, and filled with genuine passion for the places we visited. I would gladly return and take this tour again—but only if it’s with these two gentlemen at the command.”

“We did several excursions during my trip to Europe and this was definitely one of the most organized ones! Igna did a great job managing 50+ people and making sure everyone got to and from the monuments in time and made most of their day trip. He also accommodated the older folks on our tour by calling them a cab when we first got to Florence. We spent about an hour in Pisa which was enough to climb the tower and visit a shop. Then we had 3 hours in Florence and Igna had different routes highlighted on maps so people could make the most of their time. He also…”

“Ricardo our guide was excellent, getting us to 10 sites in Rome in only 6 hours! He found us a tour slot for the catacombs, which was one of the highlights of the day. My only criticism would be of the tour scheduling (not in Ricardo's control) . We were never given a pickup time but were asked when reserving the tour for our arrival time. We assumed that our pick up was between 7:30 and 8:30 am. When no one was there to meet us, we called and were told 9:15 was pick up time. We could have got an extra hour of sleep.”
