"Everything was great, the hotel a real charm. Just one of the recommended restaurants didn't seem to be of the mentioned quality but it wasn't bad either.. maybe it's just that the others were exceptional... In general you can tell that all recommendations come from a traveler's experience. For sure we will consult you for our next trips"

"We had a wonderful trip and largely thanks to you. We wouldn't have known how to combine so many places. It was very easy to follow your instructions, the recommended restaurants were all great and the hotels, specially two rural ones in Toscana, were fantastic. Without a doubt we will keep using your guides"
