Dear Mariano,
Thank you so much for a great day at Herculaneum and Amalfi Coast. We had Antonio and Priscilla who were fantastic, professional, and took us to an out of the way restaurant. for the best lunch we had in our entire time in Italy. They were on the dock to meet us early, the van was lovely and comfortable and all their knowledge of the area was brilliant. I could recommend them more highly for your tour out of Naples.

Hi Mariano,
We had a wonderful day in Casino and Caserta with Antonio and Priscilla who spent ten hours with us and took care of us in every way possible. They took particular care of my 84 year old mother who enjoyed the whole day immensely. They were very informative about the places and brought the battle of Casino to life for us. They also helped to make the visit to Caserta ultra-special. The tour was worth every penny and it was a bargain. We hope to be back in Sorrento soon and will be booking trips to Naples with you. Thank you again for making our life-long dreams of seeing these places come true.

Dear Mariano
I wanted to thank you once again for all the work you did to arrange our tours in Florence and Rome for our group. Both drivers you provided were very courteous, friendly and very knowledgeable.
You were a joy to spend the day with while touring the Amalfi Coast. You are such a pleasant and friendly man, it was a pleasure and honor to learn so much about your area of Italy. The restaurant you arranged for lunch was the absolute best meal we had during our whole vacation, everything served was delicious, including their wine.
I hope to return some day and stay longer in that area, we will be sure to call on you if we get to do so.
I wish you and your family well,
Gracie

We had a FANTASTIC time with Mariano. What a great day in Naples, Sorrento, Amalfi, Positano, Ravello. The restaurant he recommended was awesome and had spectacular views. He is truly passionate about what he does. His service and information were excellent. Thank-you for a wonderful visit.

Hi Mariano,

I just wanted to thank-you for the absolutely fantastic tour we had of Sorrento, Positano, the Amalfi coast, etc. Our driver, Antonio and Priscilla, our guide, made this the absolute best tour we had during our vacation. They made the tour a personal excursion and our group of 7 felt like we were among friends the entire day. Lunch was terrific, and the lemon ice that Antonio treated us with in the afternoon was an exceptional touch. Having lived in the area for many years, Priscilla knew exactly where to take us and even where to shop for particular items. It was by far the best day we had. I will most definitely recommend your company to others. In fact, 2 of our group will be returning to Italy next spring and are already looking forward to hopefully taking your tour again. Again, thank-you for a fabulous day.

Dear Mariano:

I apologize for taking so long in sending this to you. We wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed meeting you and your lovely family. You were so wonderful to invite us to your farm. It was an absolute highlight on our trip. We all keep talking about your beautiful farm. It was an honor to get to see it.
You gave us such a wonderful tour of Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast. Every thing was perfect. We have already recommended you to a friend who is scheduling a trip to Italy soon. I would be happy to write a recommendation for you, if you would like on for your website or marketing materials.

Thank you so much for everything. You were such a delight to meet! Our best wishes to you and your family!

Warmly,

Dear Mariano,

I have read a lot online about the extremely positive reviews of your private tours, but nothing prepared us for that most unforgettable day in the Amalfi coast. What a fantastic experience! Being on a cruise of the Mediterranean and having only a few hours to experience Naples and the Amalfi coast my family and I did not expect much. You changed all that when you took us on the tour (the brand-new Mercedes Benz van was a nice touch :)) and shared the best of your many years of knowledge and experience with the area, something we would never have achieved either on our own or through the cruise line-sponsored tours.

Thank you for inviting us to your home. It was a great honor to meet your family and experience genuine Italian hospitality. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the home-made wine and salami. Also, the bottle of wine and hand-picked cherries you gave us to bring back to the ship was fantastic!

Finally, I have to say that the Amalfi coast is probably the most beautiful place on earth! :) My family and I cannot wait to be back and spend a few more days. We will certainly keep in touch and reach out to you on our next trip.

Best Regards,

Mariano - I can't thank you enough for the fantastic day my group had with Priscilla on the Amalfi coast on our last port day 5/17. Even though the weather was not at its best, her knowledge of the area added a ray of sunshine to our excursion. The private guide you arranged for us at Pompeii was beyond fantastic & our visit to your family farm with the opportunity to meet your wife made everything EXTRA special!! Your company is top notch & I give you an A+++++. Thank you for making our last stop on our Mediterranean cruise so memorable! Pat Hayden

Dear Mariano-

I just wanted to thank you for providing us with the services of Priscilla and Antonio. We had a wonderful time, thanks to their professionalism and expertise. We could not have asked for a better day ! Their kindness to us was deeply appreciated. The side trip to Cicciano, as well as the importance they put in to finding the Street sign "DeRigge" went well beyond anything I have experienced.

Thanks to all for making this trip an unforgettable and memorable one !

Dear Mariano,

Conrad, Ed, Linda and I so enjoyed our two days of touring with you to Pompeii, Sorrento, Paestum and the bufallo mozzarello farm. Always cheerful and full of wonderful information regarding Italy and the special places we visited, you made our stay on the Amalfi Coast very special. We look forward to returning to Italy and more day trips with you.

Mallory Weymann

Dear Mariano,
Our time with you and your magnificent country was a memory that we all cherish. We are all counting the days till our trip back. Yet we are not sure how and when this would be other then to say soon is still way to long to wait. Someone here described Italy as an addiction, which I totally agree with. It now a matter of figuring the time of year and how to divide up our time . Amalfi is a definite must. We may be calling on your services again when we are there as well as we have made many recommendation to use your services to anyone planing to visit.I wish all the best to you and your family during the holiday season. May you have the time to enjoys this time of the year and may the New Year bring wealth and prosperity to all.

Thank you again for an unbelievable experience.

Kindest Regards

Hi Mariano,
We have been home for over a week and have been remembering the many wonderful sights we enjoyed during our several tours during our Mediterranean cruise.
Our last tour on the last day of our cruise was the day we spent in southern Italy with Mariano as our Driver/Guide, and was one of the best day I ever had. He drove us through the lovely town of Sorrento which brought back memories of our time in the area 3 years ago. Then, on to the beautiful drive to Positano and our stop in that picturesque town where we shopped. Our next stop was a delicious lunch and then on to Amalfi. We enjoyed the many sights and camera stops with views from high on the mountainside where homes are perched on the cliffs. I wish we had had time to stop at your farm in the Sorrento area but Dala, Lorence and I enjoyed our day of sightseeing and thank you for a mervelous day along of the Amalfi area.

Sincerely

Joyce Falkenberg

We recently visited Italy for two weeks with a three day stay in Sorrento. Two of the days were spent with Mariano and his guides and they were wonderful. We were picked up promptly at the airport even with a plane delay and were efficiently handled through our tour of Pompeii. We also had the pleasure of experiencing the Amalfi Coast with Mariano on a full day trip. We appreciated all of the little details, beautiful scenery, wonderful lunch at a local trattoria and a stop at a small company that was harvesting and making olive oil. I would highly recommend Mariano and his team for any excurisons in southern Italy.

Melissa

It has been a couple of months since our stay in Sorrento and I still cannot believe I was actually there.
I want to thank you for one of the most wonderful vacations I have every had. I wanted it to last forever. I was not sure how Norman would like this vacation, but he loved it. He found it so relaxing. The sad thing is I may never get back to Italy, but I have pictures to take me back. When I tell my family and friends that we ate at your home, they are shocked.
We do laugh at the fact that Norman actually ate pizza.

Hope all is well with you and your family.

Thanks again.

We used the services of Pleasant Travel for our day visit to Naples, Positano, Sorrento and Pompeii. We were received at Naples station and it was like we spent the day with some old family friends who made us feel like guests in their city and took pains to explain everything in detail and accomodate all our requests for seeing all that we wanted to in our tight schedule. Every moment was made enjoyable and
we would highly recommend your
services to anyone are travelling in your area.
Thanks to Fiorentino Mariano, Antonio and Vicky

I want to thank Mariano and his two wonderful tour guides. We booked five tours with Mariano's company and they were all wonderful. My son and I traveled through Italy in June and July 2010 and totally enjoyed all of the tours he provided. I recommend their Amalfi Coast tour, Naples City tour, Pompeii & Mt. Vesuvius tour, Montecassino & Caserta tour and finally their Paestum and Salerno tour. All wonderful. Thank you making our vacation so enjoyable. We would do it again in a heartbeat. Sincerely, Lyla

I would like to add our highest endorsement of this day tour service provided by Mariano which my husband and I had the pleasure of enjoying in late June, 2010. The itinery was carefully planned and we saw everything we wanted to and more. We felt that our interests were incorporated into the day's schedule and we look at the photos often, longing to return to this beautiful area of Italia. Mariano was prompt, knowledgable, an expert driver, and a very nice person. Please do not hesitate to use this service for the Amalfi coast tour.
