Dear Paolo: Thank you for our wonderful tours and the best event, the lunch at Ceri. I am sorry that I did not book the rest of our private tours with you but instead used Celebrity private car tour with English speaking guides and they were not of your qualify guides. It was a pleasure meeting you and I shall recommend your service to any who ask. Louise Schwartz |

Paolo's an excellent driver and tour guide - He has a knowledge of Rome's back roads that would impress Caesar and he can find parking spots like nobody else can! Despite one of our cruise mates locking his keys in the van, he got us from downtown Rome to the pier (in rush hour traffic, no less) with five minutes to spare. Give him our regards! Dr. Wong

Hi Paolo, Smithfield, R.I. U.S.A.

What fun! We'll never
forget Paolo's wonderful sense of humor, Shirley Binder

Paolo in
Civitavecchia/Rome was the best guide we've ever met. He seemed to
know everything about Rome and was able to answer every question any
of us had. His grasp of historical facts (including dates) was
astounding. He showed us things one doesn't find in any guidebooks
and took us to a great restaurant we'd never have found without his
assistance. He was superb!

Paolo, Hopefully, you have not already forgotten us. Our travels home were uneventful, although profoundly sad with missing you and your delightful way of introducing us to your beautiful Italy. I always expected to spend my travel times exploring my own country's wonders (all 200 years) and was fairly militant about not going to the Old World. Kathleen's patient insistence and her own wonderful memories gained my grudging acceptance of the idea. What a fool I was (and Kath would argue, still am)! Through your guidance, Nicholas, Janice, Lauren, Monica and I are true believers. We are truly thankful that our friends, the Giordanos, had met you, gained the same tremendous respect for you and shared it with us before we began our plans. That will be many times repeated by us whenever the idea of travel to Italy is brought up. To us, Paolo Apolloni is synonymous with an unforgettable exploration of Italy's wonders. Best wishes to your family and you. Drive carefully, we want you to be there safe and sound when we return. Until then, we hope you won't mind us keeping in touch from time to time. Christopher |

Hope things are going
well - we had a great time with you and also with the Paolo that
took us around the Isle of Capri. He was a riot. We really learned a
lot from you and appreciate everything you did for us. You are like
a walking, talking, history book, but a lots more interesting. |

As a retired couple, we have just concluded our first trip to Europe. We are from a small town north of Toronto, Ontario and it was our travel agent who called us one day and said, "For your visit to Rome.......you need Paolo". She had used Paolo as a guide when she had docked in Rome and declared that day to be the 'high light' of her trip. We contacted him immediately and booked our date. We only had one full day in Rome and so wanted to see everything possible. We also had some mobility concerns and were assured by him, that he could accommodate us. Sadly, our first trip was cancelled because of the war and we had to rebook about 6 weeks later. We were given a choice of two different tours and we had to make a decision. Our decision was made when we phoned Paolo at home to see when he could accommodate us. We were not sorry we did this because everything we had heard about his expertise as a guide was true. From the beautiful silver Mercedez to his knowledge and folklore of his wonderful city was exemplary. We travelled to places that many tourists don't see because of time constraints and lack of vehicle. The lunch next to the Pope's summer residence was beyond words. As people look through our album, everyone remarks on the photos of Rome. Paolo, I hope you have many more years of sharing your eternal city with tourists. It was one of our most memorable days and a simple thanks seems inadequate, but thank you immensely.........Carol and George

We second the
recommendation for Paolo Apolloni. We were on an NCL cruise

Although the two days
of touring with you were fabulous, the visit to the Sistine Chapel

Paolo, I wish to thank you and your people for an excellent job in Florence, Rome and Naples-Amalfi Coast. It really enhanced our Mediterranean Cruise have profession and knowledgeable guides.

Dear Paolo, Patrick and I wanted to thank you again for the wonderful tour of Rome in May! Italy is so beautiful – we can hardly wait to go back. Our experience in Rome was made immensely more valuable because we were able to have your tour guide services! Without your help, we would have missed many important details about the sites of Rome. Your depth of knowledge and ability to help us focus on key points was greatly appreciated! We also loved your sense of humor and the great restaurant you suggested. It was one of the best places we ate at on our tour of Italy! Thank you for the many fond memories we shall never forget!! Ciao, Marla and Patrick |
