Hello Paolo,

Were just returned from our European vacation and cruise and I wanted to write and thank you so much for your kindness, professionalism, and flexibility.  I wanted to give others my highest recommendation for your service.  

On October 18th, 2011 we arrived in Rome Italy, 4 days prior to our European cruise to acclimate and see Rome.  While visiting the catacombs the first day, my wife twisted her knee making walking difficult.  While searching for tours, I discovered Paolo's website,  www.mybesttour.com and was so thankful I did. He offers many modes and types of tours, one of which is by golf cart.  Paolo was no less than amazing.  He was so accommodating and flexible when discussing what we wanted to see and do.  I told him what our situation was, what we desired to do and asked him for a tour on the evening of the very day I called him. We also asked for a Vatican tour the next day.  I was so happy he had an opening!  He took my cell phone number and handled every detail. He showed up precisely on time, and when the tour was over, he returned us to the front door of our hotel.  The tour by golf cart was fantastic!  Every one says to see Rome, you should really walk the city. The golf cart experience is, in my opinion, better.  You cover more ground and get to go to places one would only discover after living in Rome for many years. You feel as if you are walking as Paolo takes you down streets and avenues no bus could ever go.  Some were just wide enough to get the cart through!  He is also able to take you so close to the sites, you have only a few steps left and you are there. You really get to experience Rome when you are with Paolo.  His family has been in business since 1948 I believe.....and he does his job so well.  His English is also impeccable and his narration was an education in culture, history, and the art of Rome.

His knowledge was very broad and Paolo answered any question we asked.  We started with a 3 hour tour, but I must say, I asked him to continue and the 4 and 1/2 hours went by so fast.  The experience really was like going on a walk of Rome with an old friend.  Forget the canned bus tours, this is the only way I will go if I return to Rome  and recommend it not only for the handicapped, but for everyone!  I also explained to Paolo our desire to see the Vatican, but with my wife in her condition, that wasn't going to happen.  He arranged a tour with a young woman named Silvia....who brought a wheelchair with her!  Paolo found a place that would rent him a chair for the day and made all the arrangements, we just showed up at the Vatican.  Silvia was a scholar.  She was also just as punctual, friendly and as kind and considerate as Paolo.  For instance, she made sure we had a cab back to our hotel before she left and explained to the driver were we needed to return.  Her knowledge of the Vatican was equally incredible and we heard so much more than the canned tours that streamed by us.  During our vacation, I found myself recommending Paolo to all cruise ship passengers when discussing Rome.   His website says, "an unforgettable experience".......nothing could have been more true.  Thank you Paolo!!!!

Ciao Paolo!

Ilse & Cathy, two lovely Belgian girls who went on a half-day golf cart tour with Paolo on a beautiful, sunny, November day.

They did not write an e-mail yet to comment their tour, but they commented it live on this video:

So sorry it took awhile to get this to you. I have been very busy telling people on www.cruisecritic.com about your wonderful tour! I will continue to check and try to have everyone try your tour.
My mother wrote a review for you in Japanese. I have it attached.
We are busy telling our friends and coworkers about your tour and now they want to book a trip just to experience the fun we had!
Thank you so much again for a wonderful tour! If you need anything else, please let me know.
 

Best,

Roberto & Paolo,

Just wanted to drop you a note and tell you that your tour of Rome was the highlight of our trip. We so appreciate your listening to our wants and making them happen. The golf cart is the perfect way to get around and I have told everyone back home what a great method of travel. You honestly get the feel of both the ancient and modern intersection of cultures when you can feel the air in your face and feel “in the moment”. Your expertise was evident and your passion about what makes your city so great made the experience even more enjoyable.
We look forward to coming back to Italy and will contact you once our plans have firmed up.

Thanks again,
Carolyn and Mike
