Thank you Mariano for a wonderful day with you. (Thursday, May 13, 2010) The tour that you provided was everything that we hoped for and more. Great sights, you shared your history and knowledge with us and you seemed to know just what we needed to see. Looking at the photos of our trip to Italy, some of the best ones are of the Amalfi coast, Positano and of course the ones that you so kindly offered to take of the six of us together. Thanks again and here's wishing you many more happy days with your tours.

I wanted to thank you for taking such good care of my family. They REALLY ENJOYED their time with you. They enjoyed all of their Italian adventure but the Sorrento area was their favorite. I am certain that your special perspective made the difference. You are a very special person and anyone who is in your care is certainly very fortunate. Sylvia and I really want to get back to your area of Italy to spend some special time with you. Again thank you!!!

My warmest regards to you, your wife, and your family.

Just to add to my brothers sentiment's:

Mariano's tour was fantastic, you can truly tell how much he loves the area and to show it off! The way that he catered the tour to suit our needs was remarkable! As my brother said to be able to go to your house was one of the best parts of the trip as everything about the day was wonderful! The restaurant that we were taken too was the best food I have ever had! Thank you so very much for the tour and when we come back that way we will definitely have to find you! Thank you so much once again!

Mariano,
I honestly can't begin to explain how special you made our trip , right from the beginning to the end it was everything we expected and way,way more.
I wanted to see the real italy and we got it.
The sights were some of the best I have seen in my life but beyond that to take us to your home for snacks , to meet your wonderful family , to see your home that alone made my trip.
The restaurant in the mountains with all the frsh ingrediants was one of the best meal I've had in my life.
Mariano not only are you a great tour driver but you are a great man with a great family.Words can not begin to thank you!
ps-I feel like we have made a friend in you , and hope we can stay in touch!

Hi Mario, how are you doing? I hope you and your family had a blessing holidays. I wanted to get in touch with you sooner but I couldn't find your business card, I don't know where I lost it, I had to ask my niece Else who lives in Cremona, to get your information. I want to tell you thank you again. What a wonderful time and unforgetable trip we had in Italy, thanks to you! We loved all the places you took us, all your knowledge and interesting explanations about every place we visited. In our next trip to Europe be sure we will contact you. My friends from Mexico Martha and Ivonne as well as my son Omar send their good wishes to you too. Take care of yourself and please keep in touch.

Best regards,

Berta G. Ochoa.

Dear Mariano,
We could not have had a beter experience than what was provided by Stefano as a guide and Antonio, the able driver who gave us a magnificent personalized tour of the Amalfi Coast...It was the highlight of our trip to Italy and I am happy to recommend your company "Pleasantravel.com" for the personalized attention and reliable service you provided. Molto grazie!

Four weary travelers made it home safely yesterday but we want to be sure to tell you how much our experience with you and your other drivers helped make a beautiful and memorable trip! From Florence to the Amalfi Coast, everything was perfect! Please extend our thanks also to Paulo and Luciano!
I would also like to know if you could send me your mailing address. I had some of my photos printed today and there are a few from our lovely visit to your home with your wife and father that I would like to send along to you. If you could send that along to me, I would be happy to send you a copy. I was wondering too if you could ask Luciano if he was successful in getting the Vatican stamps and mailing the postcard so I would know to look for it in the mail.
Again, please give everyone our warmest regards and I will certainly be recommending you to as many people as I can!

Thank you once again!

Greetings!! Wanted to let you know we are thinking about you this holiday season with wonderful memories. Our vacation was so special thanks to spending the day with you and your family. I don't know if you know that Tom Bertuccini's father died recently. We have not spoken to him lately, but did let him know that we were with you. He could not believe the photo I sent him. Best Wishes for a Happy and Healthy New Year.

Having been to Naples several times and having had private tours to see the area, I was extremely pleased with the service provided by Mariano and his knowledge of the area. Traveling with our elder parents, he went out of his way to accommodate their needs all the while providing them with information and history on the Naples and Sorrento area. My parents have expressed many times how much they enjoyed the trip. It is far better to take a private tour with someone so knowledgable than to take a group tour with the ship we traveled on. I would highly recommend this service to anyone and have passed on your name and site to others that are traveling to the area. When I come back, which I will, we will be sure to call upon you again.

Jim & Joanne Kerr

Hi Mariano,
I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our excursionwithyou up the Amalfi coast. You are passionate about the area in which you grew up and your warmth and passion showed through with everything that you showed up and told us about. All six of us had a wonderful time and we spoke about how lucky we were to have you as our guide.
We will be sure to recommend you if we are asked and we will surely call you to help us the next time we are in the area.

Thank you,

Suzette

Mariano: Thank you for the wonderful day we spent with you touring Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi Coast & Pompeii. We had a wonderful time. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and the highlight of the day was the fabulous lunch we had at the family restaurant. If anyone we know cruises to Naples, we will definitely recomment your services. Aloha from Hawaii

Ciao Mariano,

I wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for the wonderful day you
made for us when we visited the Amalfi coast. I can honestly say that this
was the highlight of our vacation. Visiting your farm and meeting your mom,
sister and beautiful wife was certainly a treat. I will most definitely
recommend your services to any friends who may be travelling in your area.

Grazie and all the best to you & your family.

I just wanted to take a moment to compliment you on your travel services and mostly, on your staff. You have a wonderful family. We were fortunate to have Steffano for a guide and Antonio for a driver. An excellent team. Steffano lead at a comfortable and relaxed pace with a great sense of humor and knowledge and truly, a gentleman. It was a rare and wonderful experience to go to the farm, see the land being worked and meet your family and of course, Leslie. We are grateful they opened their home to us. It all lead to my favorite day on the vacation.
We will definitely recommend you to others and hope to return to your area in a year or two and stay for a while. We'll call then and hope to visit more with your services.
Sincerely, Marcie Halberstadt

I want to thank you and your drivers, Joe who showed us a beautiful Tuscany, Frabrieo who took us through Rome and showed us more then we would of ever saw through the cruise excursions, Your son-in-law Stephen, who drove us on the Amalfi Coastline and went out of his way so we could get our jewelry boxes. All were excellent guides and we would surely hire them again.

Hallo Mariano,
I would just like to thank you again for all the trouble you went through with our arrangements, the best guide at Pompeii that you had arranged, and of course all the lemons and branches!! Your service were again outstanding. Thanks again for the best lemencello that we have ever tasted! It was a pleasure dealing with you. I would recommend your services where ever I can and on every website I visit. Hope you have a wonderful year furtheron. If you ever change your mind and would like to come and see our country, I offer you free bording and lodging, just say the word.

Karin Engels

Mariano,
I think you are the one who showed us the Amalfi coast about five years ago. You sent us emails at Christmas for many years after, but we changed our email address since. We were just telling some people about the great trip you gave us, meeting your family, getting fresh olive oil, and the great tour you gave us. We may be sending people your way. Hope all is well.

Rob and Toni Balch

Domenico was fabulous! He is an excellent raconteur, driver and knows the area well. I have already given his name to some people from Canada. WE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED OUR DAY WITH HIM. Bob & Susan Lewis

Ciao Mariano!

Just wanted to drop you a note and say "THANK YOU!" for such a wonderful tour of Napoli! We loved it! Of course, the scenery was absolutely beautiful and the food was delicious. But Jon and I both agreed that our favorite part of the entire tour was visiting your house and your farm! What an honor it was for us.
Thank you for making our time in Naples so memorable. Our only regret was that we didn't get to take a picture with you before we left!

We hope to see you in Italy again soon,
Tracy & Jon Friedman

Tracy Friedman

Mariano,
Sorry for this very late email. I have been remiss in not sending this sooner. We cannot say enough about our wonderful day spent touring with you when our cruise ship stopped in Naples in June. The sights of Positano, Amalfi and Ravello were breathtaking. We still talk about our lunch in Ravello- it was out of this world! Pompeii was made to "come alive" with the truly expert guide you arranged for us. His background in teaching was evident, he made Pompeii unforgettable.
We were so impressed with your friendliness and professionalism. I will certainly recommend you and your company to enyone we know traveling to Italy , where we were fortunate to find you.

Again, our sincere thanks.
Susan Yuschak and family

Dear Mariano

We are writing to thank you for arranging our trip on the Amalfi coast during our recent Cruise on the Azamara Quest. We had a lovely day with Antonio, an excellent driver, and Victoria who was so knowledgeable and friendly. They stopped at some lovely scenic spots to take our photographs and we enjoyed visiting the towns. A highlight of the day was visiting your farm and meeting your family who made us feel very welcome and the limoncello was delicious!

Please pass on our thanks to Antonio and Victoria.

Best wishes

Ciao Mariano!
First, I want to thank you (your staff) for an unforgettable day along the Amalfi Coast and Pompei. I’m terrible remembering their names, the woman and driver, but they were very nice, very accommodating and the van was comfortable and clean. It was one of the best tours we had - and we went on several between Italy, Greece and Turkey. THANK YOU! I will recommend your service to friends and family.
