“A wonderful trip! The car was clean and comfortable. Our driver Giovanni was very friendly and cheerful (greetings from my daughter Vera!). Yes, it’s not a guided tour, but it was a ride with a good and reliable driver, and we had a great company — a gentleman from Genoa kindly translated interesting facts about the places we passed into English for me (a big thank you to him!). My 5-year-old daughter and I felt very comfortable throughout the trip. Thank you!”
