I’m Roman, I was born here and I live here. I was quite skeptical when I friend of mine literally dragged me to this guided tour of the main touristic spots in the center of Rome. We spent 3 hours between Colosseum and Campidoglio. Damn!! It was great. Vincenzo is a Tour Guide and a storyteller at the same time. He is professional but his tale, full of details and curiosities, will really involve you and bring you back in the Ancient Rome. I do really recommend it.

Como, the largest city in this region. Along the way we are regularly treated to beautiful views of small villages on the other side of the lake. The radiant sun makes it even more idyllic, but otherwise there is little to do in this region (at this time of year).

The tour was amazing. We went to Naples for a while, and then to Pompeii and saw all of the ancient ruins. Our guide, Eleonora (bless her heart), was friendly, charismatic, and responsible. Couldn't have asked for anyone better. Her colleague, Richard, was also very kind and helpful. The guy who led us around Naples and Pompeii, Guido, was amazing and funny. Our first bus driver, Luca, was safe and professional. However, this is where the bad part comes in. The second bus driver, Daniel, was rude, reckless, and incompetent. He didn't speak a lick of English, which made it impossible to communicate. We were supposed to be dropped off at our hotel around 8:30 p.m. (20:30), but we didn't arrive for another two hours. Daniel did not ever stop near our hotel, had to ask for directions on at least 4 separate occasions, and nearly took out some stop lights because he turned onto a narrow road. He then begins driving to what was apparently the final stop, which was a hotel all the way out near Fiumicino Intl. airport. First of all, he didn't even know how to get there, secondly, when he saw that we were still on the bus, he tried to kick us off. He claimed that he stopped near where we were staying (totally false), and argued that he was supposed to drop us off at a certain plaza. He then called his boss, who then reaffirmed that he was wrong. Finally, he goes back to his seat and drives back to Old Rome, but doesn't even drop us off at the right hotel. We got off anyway because we couldn't stand his attitude or idiocy. We took a cab and got there in 5 minutes. Long story short: Great tour, amazing leader (Elle), fun guide (Guido), and good driver (Luca). Daniel was a horrible driver with a bad attitude. He needs to be fired. If it weren't for him, my review would be 5 stars, but unfortunately, that experience brought the rating down.

I booked a trip for a trek up the Alpe Sattal. I started from Milan, in the morning by train to the station of Arona. Here I met Marco e Sabrina who brought me up to Alagna car. (about 1.5 hours by road). Same way to go back. L'Alpe Sattal is the home of Mr. Giuseppe a man a bit 'philosopher who decided to live alone on a mountain. The cottage is beautiful, stone externally and wood inside. We had lunch together and we talked about many topics. The trek for me it was too easy, only two hours walk to go up, three hours for lunch and relaxation and 2 hours to walk down. I thought it was more challenging, Next time I want a longer trek, minimum of two days. Monte Rosa is very different from the Alps near Lake Como, here are real mountains, near Como seem hills. See you next time

We had a very enjoyable and informative all-day tour of Rome and Vatican City. Our guide, Nicola, was very knowledgeable and friendly. He arranged the schedule perfectly and gave us keen insights on each point of interest that we visited. Our driver, Claudio, expertly navigated the routes and was very friendly as well. We engaged Claudio to give us another half-day tour of Castel Gandolfo, which was superb. I strongly recommend Limousine Service in Italy for your travel needs.
