Our friends put us in touch with Mario about 4 months before our trip and we were in regular contact with him about our plans. He was highly responsive... read more and professional in our interactions.

In Italy we spent half a day with Mario at Pompeii and another half day in Rome and they were both wonderful. He is highly knowledgeable and able to communicate his knowledge in an informative entertaining way. He was flexible in making and changing plans and responding to our requests. It was great!

Mario also arranged for our travel to and from the Amalfi Coast (beginning after we toured Pompeii). The drivers he provided were of the highest caliber, friendly and also highly experienced driving the sometimes very challenging mountain roads.

Thanks for helping to make our trip such a success!!

  Mario has an amazing knowledge of Italian and European art, architecture and history and first hand experience working with the Italian government archeological entities. I have attended about 15... read more of his virtual tours in both English and Italian, on a range of topics including Pompei, the Sistine chapel, the San Severo chapel in Naples, the Caserta Palace, the Quirinale, the Pantheon, the Vatican, castles in Wales, etc. He situates the tour geographically and typographically and provides an fascinating discussion supported by selected pictures. His virtual tours are even more interesting than first hand visits in some ways, and are excellent value for money!

  I highly recommend Mario's virtual tours. I organized it as a team building experience at work. It was a wonderful escape of 1 hour that at times was truly breathtaking.... read more The next day I immediately booked another trip.
I greatly appreciated Mario's deep knowledge, the relaxed atmosphere he created and the customer service that is deeply rooted in him.
Do not look further - book with the Grand Tour of Europe!
