Angelo,
Thank you so much for the most amazing tour of Tuscany! We didn't know what to expect as we have never been to Italy before, but you went above and beyond to make sure we had an adventure of a lifetime. We loved going to Siena and learning about the Paleo horse race. And the quaint little town on the hill, Monteriggioni. Nick of course loved this as he has seen in so many times playing Assassins Creed :) And lastly, Sangimignano!! What a beautiful city and the view was spectacular. Your knowledge of these areas was so helpful and we learned so much from you.
And we know you were taking a chance with the dinner at the winery, but it turned out to be the most special night we had in Italy. It was so unique and intimate, an experience we have never had or may ever have again :) Daniella and her fiancé, David were the greatest hosts and chefs and made us feel so at home. You definitely need to take other clients there!
Thank you again for a wonderful time and we will be more than happy to send anyone we know going to Florence your way :) And if Olivia comes to Florence next Spring while studying in London, I am sure she will be calling you!
Sincerely,
The George Family

DEAR ANGELO: MERRY XMAS TO YOU AND CASSANDRA AS WELL!! AS WE NEAR THE END OF 2015, BOTH JEANNY AND I FEEL VERY FORTUNATE AS WE REFLECT ABOUT OUR ITALY TRIP MADE POSSIBLE BY PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES, PEPE AND MARCO. YOU HAVE ALWAYS ENRICHED OUR LIVES AND TOUCHED THE HEARTS OF ALL IN OUR GROUP. MANY OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE GROUP CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT THE TRIP FROM TIME TO TIME AND THE GREAT TIMES THAT THEY HAD. THOSE MEMORIES ARE PRICELESS AND WE CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH. WE LOOK FORWARD TO REMAINING IN TOUCH WITH YOU AND SHOULD YOU WISH TO VISIT VANCOUVER ONE DAY, YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT YOU WILL HAVE MANY FRIENDS ON THE WEST COAST OF CANADA!! TAKE CARE AND ALL THE BEST FOR 2016!!!

SINCE WE HAD BEEN TO FLORENCE BEFORE, WE HIRED ANGELO ONLY FOR ROUND TRIPS FROM LIVORNO TO FLORENCE. HOWEVER HE TOOK US TO PIAZZALE MICHELANGELO FOR A PHOTO OP, AND OFFERED TO TAKE US TO SEE THE DAVID. ON THE LONG DRIVE TO AND FROM FLORENCE, ANGELO WAS VERY INFORMATIVE AND FUN. IN RETROSPECT, WE SHOULD HAVE TOURED WITH HIM. ANGELO MET US PROMPTLY, WITH A CLEAN, NICE, COMFORTABLE PASSENGER VAN. SINCE HE IS A GRADUATE OF BOSTON COLLEGE, HE IS VERY FLUENT IN ENGLISH AND OTHER LANGUAGES, KNOWLEGDEABLE ABOUT THE HISTORY OF HIS AREA AND ALSO CURRENT EVENTS. WE ENJOYED HIM IMMENSELY. HE IS A GREAT GUIDE AND A WONDERFUL MAN!. AT THE END OF OUR TOUR WE FELT LIKE WE HAD MADE A NEW FRIEND.
