Review Location- Ravenna	Thursday, August 13, 2026
Reviewer: CORREEN S from Charlotte, NC

Ravenna - Guiamo our guide was the best! He was so knowledgeable and took time to interact with all of us based on our interests and questions. When we stopped at a cafe for a coffee and snack he jumped right in to help us order and make sure we got everything correct. The tour was exceptional and he gave an amazing restaurant recommendation reservation for lunch. Our driver was Roberto and traded cell phone numbers with us so we could call him when we were ready. He was very prompt and friendly.

Review Location- Ravenna	Saturday, August 8, 2026
Reviewer: Walter H from Union Hall VA

We had a wonderful vacation. Every one of the tour guides were great. My family was really impressed with their knowledge, service, and friendliness. I was pleasantly surprised with how much better an experience we had compared to the Princess Cruise Ship Tours. For example, our tour guide for the Amalfi Coast and Pompeii knew that Pompeii was closed until 1130 AM and changed our itinerary to travel along the coast in the morning and go to Pompeii at the end of the day. The other tours just took people to the gate and waited for two hours.Thanks again. My wife and kids felt that each guide was a friend by the end of the tour. The guides in Florence and Ephesus were probably the highlight for us. The Mercedes vans that were used in most cities were always nice and all of our drivers were really great. Ive already recommended you to a friend.

Review Location- Ravenna	Monday, August 3, 2026
Reviewer: Travel Agent Pam S from Liberty Travel, Englewood, NJ

I cant thank you enough for the excellent service. The private tours you arranged far exceeded any expectations. When we walked off the ship and saw our drivers waiting we all felt like Royalty. They made wonderful recommendations regarding our itineraries. The vans were absolutely immaculate. They always opened our doors and assisted us in and out of the vehicle. They were so knowledgeable about their destinations. I cant wait to contact some of my clients who are planning European cruises for next season and together with you planning their private tours
