    Luigi was so marvelous as tour guide, so grateful for his knowledge & wisdom. He guided us very well to awesome places & Met wonderful people in glass blowing & leather goods with various people playing accordions, guitars with beautiful voices. He also helped us with the other tour company for we didn't get any updates from them. They neglected to have driver for us in Rome to airport we had to pay out of our pocket so we would be there for our flight. These 2 different tour companies in my opinion weren't doing good job at all. If needed I have their names but should be in our package that Brian Johnson was our tour manager. Brian also does an excellent job.

    The traveler tour person did a great job: Patricia, from London to the Vatican. She was always ready for everyone to help on anything. The time was hard because sometimes had to go to bed late & wake up to start early but everything was great.
