“Our guide was amazing. Great job. She was so amazing and passionate about her job. She loved people, babies and animals along the tour. I wish I would have written down here name. The drivers were very courteous, but traffic was bad.”
Small-group boat trip from Venice to Murano and Burano for glassblowing and lacemaking, plus free time to wander colorful canals.
“Upon arrival at the dock in Murano there was an incident involving a gentleman. Flavia handled this extraordinary incident with such grace and professionalism! As a guide I can’t even imagine what must have been going through her head, however she tended to all of her guests to ensure everyone continued to enjoy their adventure! Of course we never heard anything more regarding the gentleman, so we pray that he has remained of good health! To the young woman from Sweden, travelling on your own, studying to be a doctor, your quick reactions were commendable, and my heart went out to you watching you process the events after the fact.…”

Afternoon bus from Florence to Pisa with an expert guide in Piazza dei Miracoli, Leaning Tower views, and time for photos.
“The half day Pisa tour was well organised. The meeting point was easy to find using the GET YOUR GUIDE APP. It takes an an hour an a half on the bus to get there and back and you are given two and a half hours free time there if you have chosen not to do the tour which is what we elected to do. Plenty of little markets shops and places to eat when there also.”
Half-day Tivoli trip from Rome to UNESCO Hadrian's Villa and Villa d'Este, with coach transport, a guide, and included tickets.
“Hadrian's Villa was not worth it at all as there is nothing to see. On the other hand the Villa D'este was worth every minute. The Fountains are amazing and would recommend for sure. The tour guides were good and polite. I would recommend that if possible to skip the Hadrian's Villa and do only the Villa D'este. You will like it for sure.”
