Antonio really made the tour! He was such a great guide. His knowledge of the area and Italian history generally was very impressive. Exactly what you want in a tour guide. His movie history is also quite commendable. Would highly recommend this tour.

Absolutely fantastic!!! Soo enjoyable. Meet a great bunch of people in the trip and we’re all had a laugh. Just 8 people which was nice and personal. Learned a lot from Antonio, he was passionate about his kid and there was nothing he couldn’t answer. He was patient, polite and instantly likeable. I would raise his pay!!!

Our guide was super friendly, charming and very intelligent. It was a pleasure taking part of his knowledge. The food was delicious but my portion was small so I didn’t get full unfortunately. It was also a bit sad that we didn’t eat at the restaurant where they recorded the movie. But I would definitely recommend the guide :)
