Dear Mariano, I have been meaning to write you, but things have been hectic since we returned from our trip. As we talk to friends about our trip, we always tell them the best part was touring with you! We saw a lot of great things in many places, but the personalized tour from you was definitely the best! We loved meeting your family, seeing your farm, and you showed us exactly what we wanted to see. It far exceeded our expectations! I have given your name to a friend who is thinking about touring parts of Italy next summer.If she decides to do the trip, I am sure she will contact you! Thank you again for your hospitality, and when we visit Italy again, we will let you know! Nancy, Rob, Allison, and Kevin Hueber

My family of 6 has just returned from two weeks in Italy and Sicily. We could not have beeen more confortable and safe in the capable hands of Mariano. His knowledge of the Amalfi coast and surrounding areas is astronishing, his driving skills impeccable and his patience and understanding with my three teenagers and seven years old was outstanding. He showed us an amazing amount in one day and was flexible with respect to our needs to stoop, swim, eat and just look. I would highly recommend him to anyone travelling in the area, particularly families. The next time I go he will be the first person I contact. Thank you mariano, from all us.

We just returned to NY from our wonderful trip in Italy. We have to say that our time with you, Mariano, was a true highlight. When you picked us up at the airport, you made our very first experience in Italy a real treat. The visit to your home, meeting the family, sharing an espresso with your wife, eating juicy figs right off your tree, and seeing the pride you have in your home is amazing and heartwarming. Mariano, you were always on time and reliable and made our tour of the Amalfi Coast so spectacular. Your passion for the area, your knowledge, your expert driving on the most narrow roads, your humor, your fascinating stories about your family, all made our trip to the Amalfi Coast perfect!! We haven't stopped thinking about it and know that we will call upon you again whenever we are in the area. Thank you, thank you!!!
Fondly, Jane and Michael

I highly recommend Mariano for personalized, knowledgable service with a smile! We began our Italy journey with Mariano. He arranged our transport from the airport to our hotel and 2 days of an insider's look at the Sorrento, Amalfi region. He gave us great recommendations for restaurants for our 12 days all over Italy. We learned much about the culture from him. His services were very reasonably priced.

Mariano,
I just want to compliment you for a most wonderful time in one of the most beautiful places in the world. You made us feel like family with your kindness and hospitality. Having many relatives in Italy, it was like having another cousin in another town. Sorrento and Amalfi coast are stunning and breathtaking, you mast see and experience it, and without you it would not have been half the experience. My heartfelt thanks to you for a wonderful time in a most wonderful place.

Mariano,
I would like to thank you and say how much we all enjoyed your services when we visited Sorrento and Amalfi on Wednesday and Thursday last week, 29th and 30th June 2005. You arranged our trip to Pompei very professionally and ensured that we had a great guide who made our visit to the city so enthralling. Our visit to Amalfi was equally inspiring and very enjoyable. Your recommendation and arrangements for lunch in Ravello was most satisfying to all our tastes and the food was excellent. Your vehicle is very smart and your driving was second to none. No-one felt nervous at all particulary as Italian drivers are renowned for being somewhat eratic. On behalf of your 6 guests for the 2 days, very many thanks indeed.
Kind regards,
Lindy & Thornton Simmos

Mariano,
I simply cannot thank you enough for all the services you provided Raedell and me in our travels from Roma to and through the Amalfi coast. Our week with you was perfect. You become our driver, tour guide, historian and friend. The highight of our trip was our visit to your home (Farm)and our visit with your wife,sons mother ect.You made Raedell confortable and safe on unconfortable and unsafe roads. The Italy you designed for us a true reflection of your love for your country, family and vocation. You are the typical "chef" who never feels tired because you love what you do and the people you are serving. We have given your card and information to our Travel Agency(Since they know so little about Italy)You are our"surprise" of 2005. Nobody manages touring-excursions-crising-tours better than you. You exceeded all of our
expectations. Thank Filomena again for her thoughtful gift. We will miss you until we see you again. Our best to your entire family. Warm regards,
Dan& Raedell Pancake

Dear mariano.
We would once again like to thank you very much for taking us to Graci on Wednesday June 1st. You treated us as family and by the end of the day we felt that we had known you for a lomg time. We had a wonderful time and you truly made our vacation trip to Italy a wonderful and heart warming experience. This was something we had looked forward to for a log time and you made our dreams come true. It was a trip that meant very much to us and being with you made it very special. You were very helpful, kind, caring and easy to be with. And though you were worried about your English we though it was very good. If the occasion ever arose we would highly recommend you services to others. God Bless you and your family, and may future be good to you.
Sinceraly yours,
Tom and Sharon Broderick

Hi Mariano.
I am very well thank you. If we are ever in Sorrento again, or can recommend a chauffer for some one we know who is going there, you will definitely be top of the list.
Thanks again

Hi Mariano,
We wanted to thank you for being a wonderful guide and friend. We so enjoyed meeting your family and seeing your home. I felt bad as my batteries in the camera ran out and I didn't get a picture of your family. Thank your wife for the coffee, it was great "Italian" coffee, as my cousin would say. I made the lemon liquor, can't remember the name of it. I started it on the ship with the lemons you gave me and it is now in the freezer, will enjoy in a few weeks. All of our friends agreed that you made our trip in Sorrento and Naple the highlight. I would highly recommend you, without hesitation.

Hi Mariano,
We just wanted to let you know that our experience with you was the best. We don't thik you could have any better, we loved it. We had a great time and it was because of you, it was wonderful to meet you. We would reccomend Mariano very highly, he was very friendly. Actually he and his family live in Sorrento on one of the terraced areas and made wine from the grapes that they grow was so exciting.Sincerely Sylvia

We recently finished our second trip with Mariano. Each time it was a memorable trip. The chance to see an authentic Italian Family farm and walk around and taste the fruit off the vine was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Mariano's hospitality and knowledge of Naples and the Amalfi coast makes for a pleasurable and informative journey. We hope to come back soon.

Brande and Ryan Makelky

Dear Mariano,
Larry and I thank you for a wonderful trip. Your kindness knowledge and love of Italy made the week one we will never forget. It is so good to find out there are people all over the world ready to share themselves with you. The best to you and if you ever get to Frederick, MD, USA. You will be welcome to visit our home.

Betty Ray & Larry

Having just returned from our five week trip to Italy,our whole family agree that our tour of the Amalfi Coast with Mariano was one of the highlights. Mariano's knoweledge of the area is great and his driving was smooth and comfortable. He showed us not only the main attractions such as the views to Capri and surrounding islands but also little things such as where he and his sister used to go fishing when they were younger. Our only regret was that we could not spend more time with him. Thank you for a wonderful day and hope to see you again. Regards Frank & claudia Micheluzzi and family from Australia.
