a truly amazing experience

“Hi you great man!
Well, its over! The culmination of almost two years work bringing us to this time. You can relax, breathe easy. All 91 of them have been safely sent on their way home – everyone very happy.
You did a fantastic job in organising this tour. We had a truly amazing experience, day after day of activities, sightseeing, traveling, eating
– yes, lots of that and sleeping in those lovely hotels in Rome, Assisi, Florence and specially Venice which enchanted them all. All details concluded and everyone very happy, delivered to the airport – then we picked up the rental car at Venice airport and arrived here in Baveno, Lake Maggiore after an extremely challenging four hour drive on the Italian motorways – with our little FIAT Panda.
Suz seems in great shape. I, on the other hand am really exhausted from stress overload of managing all the details and trying to outsmart the next potential problem – from toilet stops, restaurant meals with such diverse eating requirements which challenged every kitchen, not losing bags and so on. We really should have factored in two down days in Assisi with no activities and given everyone, especially ourselves a chance to catch our breath. You might like to suggest that if you get anyone again crazy enough to request a fast tour like this.
So, we’ll I do hope that we can keep this friendship alive and perhaps one day even do this again with you. I’ll be sure to write a report for Trip Advisor for you as soon as I have 5 mins to spare – when not sleeping!
Love and Blessings – and Thank You very much (which seems so inadequate an expression of our appreciation).

“Hi Matteo, Home now – just wanted to share with you, your staff and anyone exploring your Facebook or website how much you contributed to the success of our 8th International and recent tour of Italy with 93 people.
No small undertaking was it? And we did have fun! All the details so meticulously planned together with you – talk about personal service! worked out perfectly – Rome, Assisi, Florence, Venice and fitting in all those extra personal attractions that people wanted. You were without doubt sent by the angels to ensure this huge tour was successful.
The hotels you chose the restaurants and yes, all those difficult and diverse menu requirement all came through. It was an exceptionally happy group that we hugged and wished ‘bon voyage’ at Venice airport.
All I can say to anyone wanting a SPECIAL and PERSONAL experience – talk to Matteo and trust his creation – you will not be disappointed.
Thank you all so much. I feel most reluctant to release this relationship – any ideas what mischief can we get up to again? Love from Suzanne and I – Raj Miles, Australia”
