Friendly, professional, and fair!!!!!!!! Lecce and its vicinity is beautiful and well worth discovering by bike. And the bike MUST be rented at Velo Service, because it gives you chance to meet Sonia, who assists you in choosing the right bike, who is not only committed to her job, and loves it, but also - if you are as distracted (speaking plainly - stupid) as I was, and forget your wallet - she calls you "it seems you forgot something". This was the best experience during my whole trip. Thank you!

Booked a number of excursions through Travelocity using Albatravel. Really disappointed with our experience. We showed up at the train station in Venice per our instructions where it states, "Meet in xyz office." When we got there no one was there to meet us. The train station didn't know what to do with our vouchers. So needless to say we contacted Albatravel who responded promptly via email stating they had sent us everything we need in email. (referring to vouchers). First off, none of the vouchers were familiar to any of the different companies we were to use them for. Secondly, we bought a package that gave us bus tours around Rome. What they don't tell you is the time you get to the bus vrs. the time you need to be at your second booking in this package( Vatican) don't work out. You literally can't make your next stop in time to even get on the bus we had to take a cab. Once at the Vatican we had to stop and leave for the tour guide didn't get us started for almost an hour past the time indicated on our itinerary. So we then found out that the place they make you check your bag is closed and you need to walk (run) around the entire outside of the Vatican to the "Exit" for the museum to retrieve your bag. We ended up seeing the Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica which were amazing! However we had to then get another cab to leave because the drop off and pick up bus package wasn't anywhere in site. We ended up getting to see the outside of the Colloseum for 5 minutes before we had the cab take us back to get our train home that night. Here's the kicker. When I looked at each cost for tickets, bus (which we couldn't use) and Vatican museum tours on the ground we would have saved a bundle of Euros by not using this package. If you asked me, "would I recommend to a friend?" Ha. Not even to an enemy. Details below: Rome Day Trip by High-Speed Train: 8:30 AM Departure with English Commentary Tour of the Vatican Museums

Giovanni and his team created a wonderful experience for my clients on retreat in Puglia. Learning to make pasta by hand and then being served the most delicious lunch was a highlight. More so the way Giovanni took care of us was so personal, we got an authentic Italian experience with a local Italian! He made us all feel very at home , this added value he especially for my American clients who were visiting Puglia for the first time. I will be hiring Green Italy Tours for future retreats knowing I can trust the level of care and connection on offer. An insiders experience of Puglia, what more to ask for!
