Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"There are not enough word to describe how magical this experience is. Mauro and extremely friendly guide. Europes big cities are wonderful but the smaller villages “una favola”. We had a wonderful time chatting with Mauro en route to the first stop. The first village is straight out of a story book and Umbria was breathtaking. We hope to return to Rome and will definitely connect with Mauro again when we do."
"Mauro was an excellent guide to spend the day with. He is very easy to communicate with before, during and after! He had us go to an amazing \"old city\" Bagnoregio high up on a hill. It was some hike with gorgeous views. Very patient with me needing to take extra time. Then off to Orvieto, another \"old city,\" less of a hike but amazing town. Both so rich in history. Had I known prior, I would have booked a 2nd tour with him while in Rome. Definitely an amazing guide (and person)!"
"I’m not sure that I expected much more than someone to drive us up to the Civita di Bagnareggio, show us someplace to have lunch in Orvieto, and then drive us back to Rome. But instead we got a very caring, experienced guide—Mauro! It took an hour and a half to drive to the Civita during which we had a wonderful conversation about families, politics, and some of the more subtle differences between the US and Italy. I had been to the Civita 25 years ago with my daughter when there was a parking lot at the beginning of the quarter mile, very steep bridge which leads up to the little Civita. This time the parking lot was farther away up a steep hill which would have to be navigated on our descent, and I wasn’t sure I could do both the bridge uphill and the return path uphill. It wasn’t easy, but grazie to Mauro, he found me a ride back up the hill. And he knew so much about the history of the Civita. So it was more than a walk through at an interesting little town. In Orvieto he knew how to navigate the escalators in the tunnels to reduce our uphill climb, which by then was definitely appreciated. And he recommended 2 restaurants. We chose one and were happy with our choice. Because Mauro has lived in the US, his English is impeccable, and I CANT RECOMMEND HIM HIGHLY RNOUGH!"

"Mauro was a terrific guide - for the locations we went to during our Umbria journey, as well as making suggestions for the rest of our time in Rome. Highly recommend!"
"Mauro is an incredible guide. He’s very personable and shared stories about his family. He took us to some often overlooked sites in Umbria and let us do things at our own pace."
"Mauro wasn’t sure he’d be in town to take us on this trip when I first reached out, but when he knew he wouldn’t be able, he figured out a way for us to still take our dream-trip to Umbria thanks to Fabrizio! These two made sure my family had a special day we’ll never forget - from hanging out with bats in Geppetto’s workshop to standing in awe below the mosaic reflections from the Duomo in Orvieto, it was all a dream come true for us. Can’t thanks Mauro and Fabrizio enough! "
"We had a fabulous day trip to Umbria with Mauro ....starting early at 7 was his great idea as less traffic and we explored the amazing “island” town of Civita before it was too warm. He suggested we sample the renowned locally made cosmetics from this stunning medieval village that use donkey milk and snail serum ...no joke....it was an hilarious shopping experience and nicole who made a purchase will let him know how it works :) Mauro gave us a good insight into the history of both Civita and our next stop, the beautiful town of Orvieto. He suggested a few places in the village for lunch and the pick Bartolomei served a delicious selection of local produce and vino Rosso:) Nothing better than having Mauro as our “chauffeur “ after a long lunch to deliver us safely back to Roma Mauro as our guide was the best choice ....personable , informative , engaging and a sense of humour too .....better than a bus trip with a mob any day. Grazie Mauro Mark & Nicole Australia "
"It was truly a wonderful experience to go to Umbria and see an amazing world too different from Rome yet not far from it. Our guide Mauro made it even more worth it. He picked us up and all throughout the drive would explain a lot of things about the place. He’d even suggests what are the other places we can visit given a short time in Rome. Brought us to shops where we can get artisan products, unique finds perfect reminders of our trip to Umbria. And getting us to see an amazing landscape that really took our breath away. You need to prepare though for a long hike to get to Civita, but every step is worth it when you get on top. I highly recommend this place and getting Mauro to help you have an even more amazing time in Umbria with his kindness and knowledge of the place. It’s a place I will visit again for sure!! "
"What unique day out of Rome. If it weren't for Mauro we would have never checked these places out. Early start is a must. Mauro is so attentive, engaging, friendly and easy going. We talked about many things. He loved showing us the views and explaining things to us. The whole tour was amazing and a high light. "
