Reviews for Our Local Guides

Paolo is amazing. He knows Lecce better than o know my own neighborhood in Texas. He’s fun, energetic, and speaks amazing English. He handled our large group very well, everyone asked if Paolo was our guide on our next city. 100% recommend him!

Paolo is an expert on Matera and Lecce, he’s fantastic. We had a large group of 12 people, all of whom are English speakers and Paolo was great with communication. My whole group loved Paolo, his energy and enthusiasm, and his love of his work. I would recommend Paolo to anyone touring in southern Italy.

Paolo is outstanding. Matera and Valley of Itria knowledge made our trip so interesting. Lecce guide was boring snd not friendly. Ostuni guide was personable and very good. You should give commission to travel agents.

Paulo was a wonderful, charming, and entertaining guide. His extensive knowledge of Matera and surrounding area made our experience in Matera even better. I had my seven year old with us, and Paulo was amazing at involving him during the tour, accommodating all our needs. Thanks Paulo, the tour was a highlight on our trip.

Our experience with Paolo and Guides of Italia was great. Very knowledgeable, responsive and friendly.

Paolo is an excellent guide. He guided our group of 4 on private walking tours of Matera and Lecce and recommended that we stop at Grottaglie, a town known for its ceramics. Paolo is engaging and knowledgeable about the history, culture and food of the region. He provided great recommendations for restaurants and things to do during our stay. We would highly recommend Paolo!

Wonderful time in Puglia! Thank you Paolo for the fantastic guidance and suggestions and your guided tours. The trip would va e not been the same without you

Ragusa and Noto are beautiful. Roberto was a great guide. On time, flexible to our interests and a very nice guy. Total comfort in his great car. Thank you, Roberto!

Roberto was a wonderful guide! This was our second time visiting Pompeii. Even though we have been before, we learned so much from him. We had 3 children with us, ages 11, 13 and 17, and they were engaged the whole time. Would highly recommend him as a guide!

Our tour was perfect, covered many of the major items and views but also lots of off the beaten path items. Paolo had tons of great information and facts for us.
