Roberto did a virtual tour of Pompeii with Austin Ghost Tours as a lunch time "appetizer" to entice everyone to visit Pompeii when we can travel again. This was a terrific way to enjoy the city while we are sheltering in place! Roberto is great, he is responsive, talks in plain words and kept the "tour" interesting. He is very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. I recommend him highly!

I recently went to Rome and split my trip up with two nights in Sorrento. I used Roberto’s travel service to book transfers upon arrival in Rome and for my transfers in Naples to Sorrento. Once at Naples we went on a private tour of Almafi coast and drove through Positano. On my last day out we did a quick tour of the center of Naples and boardwalk area. He is very prompt in responding when coordinating travel. He is very knowledgeable about the area and we appreciated the private experience during these times.

As a family of three, we were excited to go on the 7 day northern lakes and Dolomites tour - especially as it would be very difficult to visit these areas by ourselves (visiting from Australia and not confident driving/getting around to these areas). The tour started well, we were the only English speakers but we had been assured our guide would provide fluent English commentary. Perhaps we expected too much but there was very little information provided about where we were or where we were travelling through. In fact, the first three days we received very limited information in total while the Spanish speakers were provided with much more. We visited some stunning places but too much of the tour focused on lunch breaks and eating rather than seeing the sights. Halfway through the tour more English speakers joined the group bit we still had to seek information rather than being provided with it on some occasions. The bus was too big for navigating city streets and mountain switchbacks - the driver often had to reverse and try multiple times to get around corners and switchbacks. I felt very sorry for him - he did a marvelous job but it would have been so much easier for him and much more enjoyable for us if we weren't concerned about falling off the side of a mountain. The company can't seem to decide whether they are catering to small groups or large and this has a huge impact on the enjoyment of the tour. In Trento we were advised that we would have several hours and could visit the castle. After paying for admission and entering we were then advised that because it was raining some people didn't want to stay so we were cutting the visit short - this should never happen! We then had to get back on the bus only to stop at a truck stop for lunch (instead of staying in lovely Trento). There wasn't really any point to having the guide as he did not provide much "guiding" only very limited information and directions to places he thought we should go and eat. We would have done as well with just the driver. If you can navigate your way around the northern lakes and Dolomites by yourself then I recommend you do that. Otherwise, perhaps a different company would provide a better tour.
