As a family of three, we were excited to go on the 7 day northern lakes and Dolomites tour - especially as it would be very difficult to visit these areas by ourselves (visiting from Australia and not confident driving/getting around to these areas). The tour started well, we were the only English speakers but we had been assured our guide would provide fluent English commentary. Perhaps we expected too much but there was very little information provided about where we were or where we were travelling through. In fact, the first three days we received very limited information in total while the Spanish speakers were provided with much more. We visited some stunning places but too much of the tour focused on lunch breaks and eating rather than seeing the sights. Halfway through the tour more English speakers joined the group bit we still had to seek information rather than being provided with it on some occasions. The bus was too big for navigating city streets and mountain switchbacks - the driver often had to reverse and try multiple times to get around corners and switchbacks. I felt very sorry for him - he did a marvelous job but it would have been so much easier for him and much more enjoyable for us if we weren't concerned about falling off the side of a mountain. The company can't seem to decide whether they are catering to small groups or large and this has a huge impact on the enjoyment of the tour. In Trento we were advised that we would have several hours and could visit the castle. After paying for admission and entering we were then advised that because it was raining some people didn't want to stay so we were cutting the visit short - this should never happen! We then had to get back on the bus only to stop at a truck stop for lunch (instead of staying in lovely Trento). There wasn't really any point to having the guide as he did not provide much "guiding" only very limited information and directions to places he thought we should go and eat. We would have done as well with just the driver. If you can navigate your way around the northern lakes and Dolomites by yourself then I recommend you do that. Otherwise, perhaps a different company would provide a better tour.

We loved the hot springs and the setting along a river in the woods and found a small pool at a perfect temeperature for a long soak. The wine tasting at a small family vineyard was a pleasant way to round out the day and a nice introduction to the wines of Montalcino. Matteo was and excellent guide and driver - we enjoyed his insights into the countyside and hid frindly and professional manner. Highly recommended.

We very much enjoyed our time with Mau.. in fact, we went back for seconds after we had been to the area earlier that same year. This time we toured the Chianti region, had a wonderful lunch and tour at Casa Emma and concluded at San Giminiano for walking/shopping/gelato, etc. Mau is an excellent guide with a great command of the history and interesting anecdotes to keep our 12yr old engaged. When we return to Tuscany, we will absolutely hire him again. Highly recommended!

Tour guide was very friendly and informative. Driver was friendly and stopped at several locations so we could see and experience all there was in Rome. We were driven in a spacious very clean mini van and we were made very comfortable. Both spoke excellent English. Would not have had such an excellent experience without these two people. They took good care of us and were always looking out for us but at the same time, they made us feel like family. Driver took us to a restaurant that was very authentic and served us wine and everything on the menu! I would recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Rome including families.
