    It is very clear that Flavio Lazzaretto shows enthusiasm for his home country of Italy. His knowledge, professionalism and sense of humour takes his tours to the next level. He made the tour very memorable. I also felt very safe while our driver Ettore was behind the wheel. I would highly recommend and hope to take another tour with Flavio in the future!

    Flavio is a fantastic tour guide. He looks after his guests extremely well and goes out of his way to make the tour and holiday very memorable. Nothing seems too much trouble. He is even a really good bloke!! We would recommend him to anyone seeking to have a great holiday with a well-informed guide. Wayne and Julie Carter
