We booked Rome-Limousines for several full day tours, including Rome/Coliseum/Vatican; Positano and Vesuvius; and Florence/Pisa. We also booked their services to get us to San Benedetto del Tronto on the Adriatic Coast and back again. I have used this agency several times in the past, and, when my family decided to visit Italy again after many years, I contacted Giancarlo, the agency director, about possible itineraries and suggestions. He not only remembered me and assisted me every step of the way, but he assigned us a most amazing driver/tour guide, Alessandro. I cannot begin to tell potential clients how amazing Alessandro is. He is a licensed tour guide, extremely knowledgeable about the city of Rome, its culture, and history. He also has a network of contacts and a thorough familiarity with the attractions (and restaurants) not just in Rome, but in the Amalfi Coast and elsewhere. He suggested the possibility of visiting a vineyard in the Chianti region, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. We asked him to make an unscheduled stop in Ascoli Piceno before driving to the coast, and he not only obliged us but made reservations for lunch. He figured out early on that we are serious "foodies", so, throughout our four days spent touring with him, he made suggestions for interesting, authentic, and high quality restaurants, and introduced us to many regional specialties. He always offered interesting commentary about the major sites, and behaved consistently in an extremely caring and professional manner. The Mercedes van was spacious, even when filled with our many pieces of luggage and bags from shopping, and Alessandro is meticulous about keeping it clean. He even provided us with various kinds of bottled water to try each day, having us compare the various brands! He is an extremely careful driver, courteous and patient (I had some mobility issues and he assisted me and made changes to the itinerary to accommodate my needs while also not detracting from the experience for my son and daughter-in-law.)
I had booked a disastrous full day tour of Paris prior to our trip to Rome with a Parisian-based company that sent us an inept tour guide who couldn't tell us the history of the Eiffel Tower, brought us to attractions that were closed, and couldn't ever recommend any restaurants. There is no comparison to what we experienced in Paris to the calibre and attention provided by Rome-Limousines and Alessandro. We looked forward to greeting him every morning, checking out what jaunty scarf he chose to wrap around his neck everyday, and stopping for espresso and a cornetto with him before setting out for the day. This agency offers high quality service and is worth every euro spent, from airport transfers, tours of Rome an other cultural sites, and transportation to other destinations in Italy. Thanks so much for a most memorable vacation.
