To our dear friend, Mariano. We cannot thank you enough for your outstanding services making our trip to Italia better than expected. From the moment you picked us up in Rome and started our journey to Sorrento, with that wonderful tour of Naples and the best, very best "Neapolitan Pizza", we came home with many memories that will never be forgotten. There will be no hesitation in recommeding you to anyone we know traveling to Italy. Hoping to see you in 2010, if not before.
Baci e abbracci!

My friend Brenda and I had the good fortune to be in Mariano's care for a day in Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast in April, 2009. He made our trip to Italy a wonderful experience and his knowledge of the region was awesome. Our photos came out just beautiful, thanks to the many photo ops he provided for us. We will certainly recommend the beautiful Sorrento and Amalfi Coast area to all our friends and have them contact Mariano for the tour of a lifetime. Thank you Mariano

Mariano,

Thank you for a wonderful tour of Naples, Sorrento and The Amalfi Coast!
We arrived safely home to NJ, but are already thinking of when we can return to your beautiful country again.
You were so knowledgeable about the area and your excitement was contagious!
Special thanks for taking the little detour in Ravello so we could go to the Villa Cimbrone, the views were well worth the walk in the heat.
We will definitely recommend you to anyone traveling in this area and hope to see you again soon!

Sharon, Colette and Maryann

We thoroughly enjoyed our travels to the Amalfi Coast with our wonderful tour guide, Maurianno Fiorentino. He was informative, kind, and generous. We were extremely confortable in the Mercedes Van. He truly made the tour the best part of the trip. He took us wherever we wanted to go, and he cares for his clients with much enthusiasm. I would highly recommend his company to anyone wishing to tour the Coastline of Italy and Rome.

We met Mariano back in 2005 when he drove us to our family village at Colle Sanita. He was wonderful, so professional and yet warm and personal. We are returning to Sorrento in 2010 and look forward to using him again to drive us around the Almafi Coast. Thank you Mariano.

Hi Mariano-
We just wanted to thank you for our wonderful day on the Amalfi coast and Pompeii. You were a wonderful guide and ambassador of your country. Greg and I and our kids had a fantastic day and it was a highlight of our 14 day cruise. The Amalfi coast was beautiful and you showed us some great sites. Our tour of Pompeii was amazing and Salvador kept eveyones attention even the kids on such an amazing society that existed so long ago. We plan on coming back to your area again and we will be sure to look you up. There is only so much you can see in one day. The pizza we had for lunch was the BEST and the wine was excellent. I would recommend you to anyone looking for a tour in your area.

Hello,
I had the opportunity to take a tour of the Amalfi Coast with one of your drivers, Mariano Fiorentino, he was great! He had a knowledge of the area that was, no less, than amazing. He took us to places and showed us sights along the way that only a true native would know. We saw more in a day with Mariano than I saw in three days worth of trips booked through the ship! This trip was for my Mother, she is 86, Mariano took extra time with her to make sure that she was comfortable and that she would fully enjoy this tripl. He is a kind and patient man!
Please know that when I return to this region, I plan on using your company’s and hopefully Mariano’s services again. As I said before, his knowledge and love of this area is apparent and I could not have asked for a better guide. My Mother is still talking about how wonderful he was to her.



Thank You,

Hi Mariano,

Just wanted to thank you finallyfor the wonderful times we had with you on our tour of Italy late October. Every minute was an adventure and you did such a great job of showing us as much as possible in a very short time. I change my mind almost daily on what was my favorite place. You were like a family with us. I am so happy we were able to share our family experience with you. You gave us a part of yourself and made us feel we were at home. We loved it and can’t wait to return to your wonderful country to see more.
Thank you again for everything.

Mariano, I apologize for this long overdue thank you for an unforgettable day for my group in Naples last summer! Our day in Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast, was wonderful and Priscilla was a gem- knowledgeable and attentive to all our desires for the day. There was a meeting at Pompeii which closed the ruin in the morning, so Priscilla and our driver adjusted our itinerary so that we could include all the things we hoped to see. In the meantime, our cruisemates who chose to use a Royal Caribbean tour, missed Pompeii altogether after spending 2 hours sitting on the bus waiting for it to open. They eventually returned to the ship and did not see anything that day. We had a wonderful day driving along the Almalfi Coast, a lovely visit to Positano (Limoncello- yum!) , a wonderful wine and pizza stop with views of the Mediterranean, and a visit to Amalfi. We then went to Pompeii and the guide you arranged for us was wonderful!! He got us into areas not open to the public and was full of interesting stories. Our only regret was that we didn't get to meet you! I hope that one day we can return and you will be our guide. Many thanks again-

Hi Mariano;I just wanted to thank you again for being a warm and wonderful ambassador for your country while we were there. Yourhelpful information about how to navigate through the region and your history lessons helped to make our stay most enjoyable. All of the restaurants and suggestions you made were great... couldn't be better. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know we really appreciate all you did for us and will definitely recommend you to anyone we know who visits that region (though with the USA in financial
turmoil, that might not be for a while). Take care, stay well.With warm regards,Dolores LoScalzo, Camille Vaccaro and June Liccione.

Mariano,
I wanted to tell you how much we so enjoyed our time with you.We didn’t even think of you as a driver or someone we hired to show us the cites. We felt you was one memebr of our familiy.We have been talking a lot about our tour of the Amalfi Coast having Mariano was one of the highlights. Mariano's knoweledge of the area is great and his driving was smooth and comfortable. The chance to see for the first time authentic Italian Family farm and walk around and taste the fruit off the vine was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Mariano, Thanks again for the good time. Give our regards to your family and hoping your son Luigi will be very soon on of the best Chef .

We had the pleasure of Mariano escorting us around Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast. He could not have done a better job. Fantastic. Thank you and I have recomended Mariano to all our friends.

Wayne Foster

Our tour of Sorrento, Positano and the Amalfi coast was absolutely fantastic. Mariano, our guide and driver, did a great job of describing many of the small details about the country and the culture. We were pleased with his command of english and his knowledge of many analogs of Italian vs. American expressions and customs. We highly recommend this service.
