"The Guides ..Luisa in Rome once again excellent, very knowledgeable. Tanya in Florence we thought the best for this trip, very helpful, knew her city, sorry the guided tour was over she was that good. The "little guy" in Siena and Tuscany, can't remember his name ;-) you know, the one that wears glasses, drives a van, needs some hair, just great enjoyed every minute with him, it was like being with a good friend, the time went too quickly. Daniella in Venice gave us an oustanding tour, got us into a private home, very interesting. All in all the trip was just outstanding...It was a great experience Patti and we must thank you and Roberto for making it memorable. I am the (Self appointed) Blufton Marketing Director for Tours by Roberto."

"My trip to Tuscany was more than I ever had imagined. Roberto truly made everything come alive with his knowledge, passion, and commitment to sharing his country's history. (Not to mention his sense of humor and repertoire of jokes and anecdotes!)"

"Patti, thanks for all you, Roberto and Donald [Scalmanini] did for us. As we have shared with Roberto and Donald, we really feel like we have made life long friends and can't wait to either share our home with all of you or return to Italy in the not so distant future. You guys are a first rate tour service and Shari and I are extremely lucky to have stumbled across your website."

"I wanted to thank you again for the wonderful day in the Tuscan country side. My stay in Siena was magical, but that day in particular was truly special to me. I felt like I had made a friend that day, and I definitely lost my heart to the Tuscan countryside. Florence was next and yes the art was wonderful, but as a place to stay it could not begin to compare."

"My family experienced an absolutely wonderful day with Roberto. We visited parts of Tuscany that only a native would know about. Roberto is so knowledgeable; we came away with a better understanding and greater appreciation of the Tuscan way of life."

"[We] continue to enjoy our wonderful memories of the Tuscany area. I was recently reading a book (fiction), but enjoyed it so much more because I recognized the places that were being mentioned in Florence. Thanks once again for your time and sincere enthusiasm that you shared with us back in February. Our next little jaunt is to Avignon, France at the end of May. Unfortunately I don't believe there is another 'Roberto' so we'll be touring on our own."
