Not being knowledgeable about the language or the country, and with limited information, we relied heavily on our tour guide. He did not disappoint us. He is very detail oriented, well prepared and professional. He was a wealth of knowledge about the Italian culture (and he was constantly trying to feed us!). We were able to visit the towns of Perano, Cornacchiano and Guglionesi (beautiful country, spectacular views). Because of his congenial and engaging personality, he easily interacted with the local people to secure some information about our families, heretofore unknown. We more full appreciate our ancestry.
He even arranged an memorable and enjoyable lunch with a Perano cousin and his family, whom we had never met. With his dedication and expertise, he made sure that our Tour met our expectations. A tour of just 3 short days - far too little time, but far more than we expected!
