Caro Abruzzo Tours:
Thank you so very much for my wonderful, unforgettable one day trip to Abruzzo to visit my mother's village and the nearby region. It was the trip of a lifetime. Little did I know that one lazy June afternoon when I was poking around on the Internet I would make the exciting discovery of your exceptional tour company which would lead me on an extraordinary trip in search of my family's history. I couldn't believe that such a company existed that would do genealogical research and then actually take you to your ancestors' home. It was a dream come true. It was such an emotional day for me, meeting the villagers and even meeting a relative (photo attached). You provided an exceptional, considerate, and personal service, contacting the Municipio, researching my family, meeting the residents of my mother's village, translating for me, then taking me on a tour of the surrounding area, from beaches to monasteries, to olive groves to confetti shops to the town of Ovid (Sulmona). I had no idea Abruzzo was such a beautiful place with so much to see and do.
You took me to a wonderful restaurant where we had an outstanding lunch: I can still taste the homemade spaghetti: ironically, we ate in the very town where my grandfather trained as a chef (Villa Santa Maria)! Another plus.
I heartily recommend your company to anyone who is interested in Abruzzo, from those who have family from there to those who would like to see an unexplored part of bella Italia. What more can I say: the food, the beaches, the scenery, the beauty of Abruzzo: I was stunned by it all, and am ready to return.
I hope to see you again next year on a longer tour of this beautiful region.
