Paolo,
Just a short note to thank you for the wonderful drivers and driver
guides you provided to us.
When we arrived at Milan Malpensa, Davide was waiting for us. He
took us on the short 2 1/2 hour ride to Santa Margherita pointing
out a number of landmarks along the way. It was a delight talking
with him, and his discussion of his home on Lake Como made us want
to come back to Italy to see that area.
All three drivers were waiting for us at the pier when the ship
arrived in Naples, Civitavecchia and Livorno. Angelo in Naples was
superb. The drive along the Amalfi Coast with Angelo's running
commentary was great. He even took us by his primary school in
Sorrento, and we lunched at one of his favorite places. Before he
left us, he secured tickets for the hydrofoil to Capri and told us
when to catch the hydrofoil from Capri to Naples. Great guy!
Paolo in
Civitavecchia/Rome was the best guide we've ever met. He seemed to
know everything about Rome and was able to answer every question any
of us had. His grasp of historical facts (including dates) was
astounding. He showed us things one doesn't find in any guidebooks
and took us to a great restaurant we'd never have found without his
assistance. He was superb!
In Livorno/Florence, we had the pleasure of meeting Giuseppe. Great
guy! His love of Florence was apparent from the very start. One
could not help but leave Florence with a much deeper appreciation
for its magnificence and beauty after spending a day with Giuseppe.
Fantastic!!
We all agreed that your drivers and driver guides really made our
vacation the wonderful experience it was. I can assure you that we
will be telling everyone about the great experience we had with your
company, and we'll be back! Thank you!
Bob & Bev Russell
