Mario’s Tour of Southern Italy - Semptember 2017

GRAZIE GRAZIE GRAZIE.!!!
Whoever thought that a night in your restaurant would turn into a trip of a lifetime? 

All of the pre-planning, suggestions, and insight were SPOT ON! Your guiding hand allowed us to enjoy the beauty, the food, the people, the culture, and the pure ambiance of Italy in a way that would not have been experienced without you.  We especially enjoyed the 'personal touches' you added, including us meeting some of your family, seeing  where you grew up....how intriguing!  Your knowledge of your homeland is commendable and we learned so much about the history of the areas we visited! 
.....the boat ride into the Grotto, the cooking class and leisurely lunch with the group and your family (my personal favorite) , The Castles, the Ruins, the Churches, the hiking, the shopping, peeking into the local stores, markets, the zip lining, THE FOOD, THE WINE tastings, (we most certainly didn't go hungry; and our fun catch phrase "hang onto your fork!")......the SCENERY.....EVERYTHING about the trip was amazing!  Having drivers for the entire time was a definite MUST as we would NEVER ATTEMPT to drive those roads!!!!!!!!  Your 'little surprises' here and there did NOT go unnoticed.    We felt that you really went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure our trip went smoothly, including keeping in touch with us constantly even after YOU LEFT AND we stayed on for two more days!
  We are definitely considering another trip to Italy, and we wouldn't do it without YOU.!

   If anyone ever wants to talk with someone who has taken this trip with you, feel free to give them our number. 

Ciao!
