Private Cinque Terre Tour from Florence

We appreciate the service you provided.  While it was expensive, it was worth it.  The skip the line feature at the Vatican and Coliseum was quite the time and sanity saver.  We had our 4 and 6 year olds with us and we knew they would have a limited amount of energy for sightseeing.  We didn’t want to waste it in line.  Plus, it was quite fun walking past all the people who had stood in line for 2 hours.  We only had 2 full days to spend in Rome and would not have seen and done as much as we did without our tour guide.  Our guide was Catia and she was wonderful.  She was patient with our kids.  She was very personable.  She gave us a background and history of the places we visited and pointed out things regular sightseers wouldn’t notice.  We enjoyed our time spent with her immensely.  At one point, our 4 year old was tired and cranky and hungry for Nutella.  Catia remembered there was a place nearby that had a Nutella pizza and called ahead to confirm.  That pizza was probably our kids’ favorite meal in Italy and it averted a major meltdown.  We were appreciative of Catia’s thoughtfulness.
It’s difficult with small children on a regular tour as they have their own special needs and pacing, but having a private tour with Nancy Aiello was the way to make everyone happy.
I would most definitely recommend Nancy Aiello Tours to my family and friends.  We saw and experienced more than we would have in Rome than under any other circumstance.  We were quite pleased with the experience.
I googled Rome for children and you were recommended in several travel sites and blogs.  We looked at your website and saw that a couple of your tours looked exactly what we wanted.
Thank you.  We were very pleased.

Please do share this with Ann. We learned about Nancy Aiello Tours through Ciao Bambino on line while searching for kid friendly guides to Rome. We had about 6 to choose from and I chose yours after reading the reviews.
Ann was absolutely indispensable in planning our trip. She was very friendly and not only welcomed our questions, but answered ALL of them promptly and in an exceptionally organized manner. She is very efficient and you are lucky to have her on your team. She could not have made planning our time in Rome easier than she did. She even helped me choose a hotel. I asked for recommendations for hotels with pools knowing that my children would want to relax after sightseeing. These are apparently hard to find in Rome but she suggested several. I would just like to add our hotel to your list of hotels with pools in Rome. The Crown Plaza Hotel at St. Peter’s. While it was an American Hotel off the beaten path, it was luxurious and very accommodating especially for the price. We took both public transportation and cabs to get to the city and the Vatican.
Lucia was also an excellent tour guide in Rome and we enjoyed being with her every day. Her knowledge of the city was expansive and almost unbelievable. We all appreciated her laid back manner and her efforts in always trying to engage our boys.
I will definitely recommend your company to others traveling abroad especially those with children. Thank you for your services and giving me the opportunity to write this review.

Rachel,

We are back home in Oklahoma, but I wanted to thank you for all of your assistance in making our trip to Italy such a wonderful time.

The drivers and guides were wonderful and we had a wonderful time. Even though everyone has been wonderful, I wanted to especially commend two individuals. I would hope that our comments will be passed on to either the individuals themselves or their supervisors if appropriate.

The guide in Florence was extremely kind to my wife Gwen. Going to the Uffizi and seeing La Primavera had been a dream of my wife’s since she was in graduate school working on her doctorate in English Literature. Maria was very kind and patient with my wife as she fulfilled a dream of hers.

The driver in Sorrento loved Italy and especially loved this corner of the beautiful country and enthusiastically wanted to share that love with me. In addition to being an outstanding driver, he was also an outstanding guide.

Please feel free to use me as a reference for future customers.
