"We had a wonderful trip and largely thanks to you. We wouldn't have known how to combine so many places. It was very easy to follow your instructions, the recommended restaurants were all great and the hotels, specially two rural ones in Toscana, were fantastic. Without a doubt we will keep using your guides"
