Hear from our travelers:
Hi Guido, I just wanted to let you know what an amazing time i had on the Italy trip. Everything was wonderful. Although having been to Italy several times past this was first Sicily adventure. I met many nice people in the tour and our various tour guides were wonderful, very knowledgeable and personable. Annalise was excellent. She served as tour guide, scheduler, nurse, arbitrator and wholistic healer! She really kept the group on track and knew how to deal with all the little idiosyncrasies that come up when you travel. She is also extremely patient and kind to all he persons on he trip. I look forward to traveling with you again, hopefully to Puglia next year! Thank you so much for all your help in preparing for trip and all the attention to detail. Marian K.
