As a retired couple, we have just concluded our first trip to Europe. We are from a small town north of Toronto, Ontario and it was our travel agent who called us one day and said, "For your visit to Rome.......you need Paolo". She had used Paolo as a guide when she had docked in Rome and declared that day to be the 'high light' of her trip. We contacted him immediately and booked our date. We only had one full day in Rome and so wanted to see everything possible. We also had some mobility concerns and were assured by him, that he could accommodate us. Sadly, our first trip was cancelled because of the war and we had to rebook about 6 weeks later. We were given a choice of two different tours and we had to make a decision. Our decision was made when we phoned Paolo at home to see when he could accommodate us. We were not sorry we did this because everything we had heard about his expertise as a guide was true. From the beautiful silver Mercedes to his knowledge and folklore of his wonderful city was exemplary. We traveled to places that many tourists don't see because of time constraints and lack of vehicle. The lunch next to the Pope's summer residence was beyond words. As people look through our album, everyone remarks on the photos of Rome. Paolo, I hope you have many more years of sharing your eternal city with tourists. It was one of our most memorable days and a simple thanks seems inadequate, but thank you immensely.........Carol and George
