“...so much thought into our tour...”
I just wanted to again let you know how much we enjoyed our tour of the Marche. We proceeded onto Tuscany and...I really thought what you showed us was much lovelier and less peopled. In looking at our pictures I can't believe we actually stayed on a farm and picked olives. Thank you for putting so much thought into our tour, sights, food, olives, etc. We would love to do another trip, this time to the south. We will certainly contact you when we do decide to go.

“...wonderful trip in Le Marche...”
Just wanted to thank you for the wonderful trip in Le Marche. The week hiking was the highlight of our 5 weeks in Europe. Extremely well organized and the attention to detail first rate. While it is tough to get a "bad" meal in Italy, your organization made superb choices for dinner. It was like each succeeding chef was trying to outdo the last! If you would please send a listing of your other walking tours, both self-guided and guided.
