Karen & Giacomo have been personal friends of Pam & David for over 38 years. Karen was a Scargo waitress at one time but has lived in Italy with Giacomo , (a native) for quite some time. Really great people to have squire you around the countryside.
Highly reccommended for touring city monuments. "Skip the line" tickets and private or semi-private are worth the cost. You'll save time and see things you wouldn't otherwise. Grad-Student tour guides that speak flawless english. Vatican, Colloseum, Statue of David, Uffizzi Gallery...Rome and Florence
Wine tours, cheese tastings, sightseeing... Most leave from the city of Florence If you want to see other sights like Pisa, Cinque Terre, San Gimingiano, and other Medieval walled cities.
