Once again, thank you so much for all you did for us and our friends and for the very enjoyable trip to Naples and the Amalfi excursion.

It was indeed wonderful to see you again.

We enjoyed meeting and being with Rosario. He is a wonderful person that you can be very proud of. Please tell him that if he ever comes to USA, he is most welcome to stay at our house and that we will show him the sights.

Stay well, my friend and may God bless you and your family.

My family and I traveled to Italy and Greece for the first time, and spent the day with Mariano and his son Rosario on Saturday while our cruise was in port in Naples.
Mariano customized a plan of places to visit based on our specific interests. His love for his country was evident in all that he shared with us about this beautiful part of Italy. He knew the area so well, diverting us from heavy crowds and designed an experience that was simply unforgettable.
From the breathtaking views in Scala, and Revello, to the brilliant turquoise waters of Amalfi and Minori we delighted in all that we experienced! After a few hours snorkeling at the beach in Maiori, we stopped for a delicious authentic Italian meal at La Playa. We topped the day off with a drive past Sorrento and headed back to Naples to catch our ship.
Mariano and Rosario, we are grateful to you for sharing your beautiful country with us. We will undoubtedly be back for an extended stay to Amalfi!
Più Sinceramente,
Carolyn Waidelich

Estimado Mariano!
Una experiencia espectacular. Sin duda la mejor forma de visitar la costa amalfitana
Nos ha buscado el guía con el chofer en la furgoneta exclusiva para nosotros. Nos han recogido a las 8 am en la puerta de nuestro hotel y empezamos el viaje
Hemos podido visitar sorrento, amalfi y positano. El chofer nos dejaba con la guía una hora en cada pueblo. A la hora pasaba a buscarnos
Tuvo además la amabilidad de reservarnos para comer en un restaurante magnífico con una mesa con vistas magníficas
De las mejores experiencias que he tenido en un viaje nunca. El nombre “pleasant” les rinde honor. Quiero repetir!

Mariano, My friend Valerie and I enjoyed your service as much as Jim and I enjoyed you in 2017 . We loved being able to stop by the fruit stand on the way to Positano for photos. I have recommended you to friends in Massachusetts and they were also very pleased . It was so nice to meet Rosario . He is the same age as my son and is such a wonderful young man. I am not sure if I will be able to return to Sorrento , but if I do , I will contact you again . Many thanks, June and Valerie

Ciao Mariano,

We are home now and missing your beautiful country. The private tour we took with you from Naples along the Amalfi coast was amazing; the views were breathtaking. It was a pleasure spending the day with you. Your hospitality and knowledge of the area was a definite bonus.

Next time we are in Naples we will contact you for another tour.

Until we meet again.

Ciao Mariano! Thank you for showing us around the Amalfi Coast area once again. Our friends and family really enjoyed our days with you. You have not lost the passion and the warmth that we've felt when we first met you about 6 years ago. Our stay in Southern Italy will never be complete if we don't spend time with you. We look forward to our picnic in your farm the next time we visit your area.
Thank you once again and hope to see you soon.

I began my international travels in 2007. After 14 years and a variety of tour guides, no one has even come close to the top notch service that we received from Mariano.

When he says, “I have a friend” be ready for a nice surprise.

He is professional, flexible, and customizes your tour experience. I highly recommend his services and would book him again.

Tricee Cornett

We met Mariano in 2003. We were on a tour with GCT, our tour guide hired him for the day to drive us to my husband’s family home town. We have since then traveled to Italy twice, have hired Mariano for several outings. He is wonderful, has great knowledge of his country, speaks clear English and so easy to like. He has a very gracious wife and two great boys. I don’t know why it has taken so long to comment on his page! I recommend Mariano for any outing, transfer etc.
Mariano, his family, I am proud to say have become our friends as well as travel chauffeur.
Thank you Mariano for making our trips to Italy enjoyable.

Ciao Mariano!


I’m so overdue in sending you this, so please forgive me. I just want to thank you so much for the beautiful time you showed me and my family while we were in Italy! We cannot thank you enough for your patience, kindness and the sincere hospitality you showed us.


Your knowledge of the area is extraordinary, and we enjoyed so much hearing your stories and explanations about all the places you took us. We all looked forward to seeing you when we had a tour or transportation scheduled with you. You started out as our guide but quickly became a part of the family. This was a trip of a lifetime for us all, and we will never forget you and the joy you added to it.


I truly hope to return to Italy with my family and get to see you again!


My family and I wish you much love, health and happiness always!

This is a huge thank you so much for such a wonderful, informative day today. We learned so much about the Amalfi coast, the history and the endeavors of its people. And you both were so very kind and accommodating.
We just want to mention a restaurant we had dinner at tonight called Taverna Buonvicino. It was really special. I think it’s a place you can highly recommend to your clientele.
Molti grazie to all,

Many thanks to you and Rosario for making our family trip to southern Italy so wonderful. You always provide fantastic service and my family appreciated it so much. They love how knowledgeable you are about the region and all the history that you know. It made the trip extra special.

It felt like we were with friends or relatives showing us around. The personal service and hospitality of your team was just incredible. Thanks again for an u forgettable tour!

Laura Ceballos

Thank you Mariano and Rosario for a wonderful day trip to the Amalfi Coast. Our group of 4 was picked up promptly from the cruise port in Naples and toured Sorrento, Amalfi and Ravello. We had time for picture stops, shopping and free time and a wonderful lunch stop for our best meal of the vacation. The passion Mariano has for his county is infectious and we learned so much about history and culture. They took such good care of us at every stop and we felt welcome and safe. Thank you for an amazing day. We toured with Mariano in 2006 and we will call again when we return.

Hi Mariano..
On behalf of all of us we couldn't thank you and your family enough.. We had such a wonderful experience in Rome, from the time we met Mariano at the ship until Angelo dropped us off at the airport. It was superb! I have already provided your name to a cousin of mine but will definitely pass on to anyone traveling to Italy. There is no way anyone could experience Italy better or be in better hands. Thank you so much!!!! Definitely want to return to Italy so will be in touch when we do.

Thanks again! Ciao 😊

Ciao Mariano,
I wanted to say thank you for a wonderful three days with you. They were all amazing but our favorite was the time spent with your family at your house. We feel honored that you allowed us into your house and were happy to meet Filomena and your sons and Maria. You have a wonderful family and we know you are very proud of them. We will never forget that experience and will hold it close to our hearts.
If you come to USA you and your family will always be welcome to our home.

Thank You very much

Mariano,

Thank you so much for the wonderful experience you gave us touring the Amalfi coast. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. The knowledge and passion you shared for your country was infectious. The restaurant you chose for lunch was one of the best meals we had on the trip. So simple and fresh with a fantastic view, just like being home with family on a Sunday afternoon. We will definitely be planning a trip back to the Amalfi coast and when we do, you will be the first person we call.

Thank you for sharing your family with us, it topped off an already perfect day.

Ciao,
