Reviews for Our Local Guides

A top-notch introductory tour of Cagliari. Beyond giving us a wealth of information about the history and culture of Cagliari, and Sardinia more generally, Simone shared pieces of his own story, and was equally interested in ours. The tour became a dialogue, and by the end we felt we had truly made the acquaintance of the place and one of its proudest natives.

Serena is a fantastic guide and you will have a wonderful, very insightful tour with her! We have toured Siena with her before but brought our sons back this time and she made it fresh and very fun. She has lived in Siena all her life, so she literally knows the city like the back of her hand. You will see and learn about things only she could show you. We will book her again if we get to come back for sure!

Was hoping to get one driver for our entire stay in Sicily, but ended up with 4 different drivers. They were all generally very nice, arrived on time, but sometimes had problems getting around in the cities where we stayed. Not always their problem, many times the streets were pedestrian only, but sometimes it seemed as if they were not completely familiar with the city we were in. Overall however, they were generally good, but we did have to do alot of walking. Would have been better if we had 1 driver the whole time who we could get to know and who would be a little more responsive to what we were looking to do.

My family and I (two adults, two kids) had a fabulous tour with Samuele! The exceptional service began way before the tour - Samuele was so helpful in answering questions I had prior to leading up to the tour, as well as providing recommendations for Florence including stores, restaurants, activities, etc. Our tour was focused on Pitti Palace and a walking tour of Florence - we learned so much, including seeing hidden gems throughout the city. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you have kids because he finds the perfect way to cater to everyone’s educational level. Thank you!

My wife and I recently took a hiking tour with Out of the Box Florence and it was a great experience. Lorenzo our guide was incredible, knowledgeable, friendly and very passionate about the area we hiked. The 3 wineries were amazing. Would highly recommend this tour it was definitely the highlight of our trip.

We had an amazing day exploring the amalfi coast by car with Marco. He knew all the best spots for pictures and provide a commentary on local's lifestyle and history during our ride. Since we asked to skip Positano stop in our tour (we had plans to spend a full day exploring it on our own) Marco was able to avoid traffic in that region and we had spend more time in Ravello, just like we wanted. He took us to a beautiful family owned and operated restaurant overlooking Ravello hills, where we had the most delicious meal at a bargain price. Ps. We were a family of 4 adults and the van had plenty of space for everyone be seated comfortably.

We had our tour with Cosimo, who was extremely knowledgeable and a wonderful tour guide. We thoroughly recommend this tour to everyone.

Our multi-generational family of ten had a fantastic tour of Bari with Yuri, our guide. He was very knowledgeable and knew the history and local culture really well, allowing us to move seamlessly between historical sites and local shops and eateries, giving us great insight into the past and present. It was well worth our time and money, and Yuri kept it interesting. Everyone from age 12-71 took something meaningful and memorable away from the tour. I would highly recommend!

Our tour guide was amazing! Chiro was extremely knowledgeable & funny, made the trip very pleasant.

Our tour guide, Serena was an excellant choice for us. Before I go on, I want to say how helpful and patient she was prior to us even getting to Italy. Lots of emails back and forth. She is well versed in the history of the many place we selected to visit. Her talks on each stop provided information that helped us "see" the history which was greatly appreciated. Viewing while hearing the history is a great combination. She is very good at what she does and her ddedication to her work was evident. And an outgoing, generous, friendly personality, we had a a win.
