GUEST BOOK


Thursday, April 10, 2008

We have been very impressed by Presto Tours. Very professional in everything you have done. Your guide Ryan was first class and very well informed. We had a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable time and would not hesitate in using you again.

Thanks very much

My girlfriend Cheryl and I took the Vatican Tour on April 9, 2008. It was by far the best tour that I have ever taken. Maya was our guide and the amount of knowledge that she afforded us was unremarkable. She not only explained what we were seeing but enhanced that with such incredible artistic interpretation and history such that by the time we got to the Sistine Chapel, I was able to experience and feel the beauty and energy that went into the images. I last saw the Sistine Chapel 40 years ago and one of the reasons for returning to Rome was to see it since its restoration. Maya made that decision more than worthwhile. She has a great sense of humor and a fantastic personality and she clearly loves not only the art and history, but sharing that knowledge with others. I will always look to Presto Tours in the future.

I did the Vatican tour on Saturday afternoon April 5 and must say that it was conducted with a level of professionalism and excellence that exceeded my expectations. Our guide Ryan was simply outstanding in the way he interacted with the group and directed the details of the tour. I was truly amazed at the depth of his knowledge, his highly articulate presentation style and his willingness to patiently answer a variety of questions by the group. Thank you for a marvelous experience! If all your guides are this good I cannot imagine booking such tours with anyone but you on my future trips to Italy.

Amazing experience. Our tour guide was worth every cent (Michael). He was knowledgeable, interesting and just great to be with. We would definitely recommend him.

Our tour of the Vatican with our guide, Ryan, was the best tour we have ever been on anywhere. Ryan had an excellent command of the subject, and connected the historical dots for us in a way that we understood the subject as well as was possible in three hours. We will again use Presto when in Rome.

LOVED HER. I have been the the vatican 2 other times, and this tour by far was the best. She was very thorough and funny. She made it very easy to follow. The four other people in my group said that the Vatican tour was the highlight of the Rome experience. We had another tour of the Ruins, and your tour and tour guide was much more entertaining. I will be recommending your company for this type of excursion for anyone whom I know going to visit the Vatican.
Thanks again for the great tour!

Just a short note to say that we had a fantastic Vatican tour on Tuesday 1st April. Our guide was Liz and she was great, please thank her for us, and tell her we tried both the pizza place near the Vatican for lunch and the following day Est Est Est near our hotel, we were delighted with both recommendations. Both Liz and Aubrey were very friendly and professional. Our two teenage children said it was the best day we had in Rome. We would not hesitate to use Presto Tours again,and recommend you to friends and family. Thank you again for a great experience.
Yours sincerely,

Catherine

I went on the tour with my parents, and it was definitely one of their highlights of the trip to Rome. Michael (from Chicago) was our tour guide, we found him absolutely great! He was really professional, knowledgeable and had a very nice way of interacting with the group, particularly children. Without such an experienced and enthusiastic guide we wouldn't have enjoyed the Vatican tour half as much. The content and pace of the tour was just right, it didn't dwell too long over any area or gloss over anything that seemed important and Michael was very approachable for extra information. I would definitely recommend Presto tours again. The only thing I would suggest as an improvement is directions to the tour starting point, perhaps a sign pointing down the steps?
Thanks

Yvonne

We arrived back in Ireland on Friday late evening from our Rome trip. Our tour to the Vatician museum Sistine chapel and St Peters Basicila was the highlight of our holiday. I had read about how excellent Ryan was in your reviews before I booked, and he certainly surpassed our expectations, his dedication and passion for Art and Rome is endless, we hung on every word he said, his knowledge on the sculptors and artwork was amazing, I would recommend Presto tours and Ryan to anybody visiting Rome.
Thanks

Helen


Tuesday, April 1, 2008

Liz, my Vatican tour guide was great! Her knowledge was superb and her sense of humor appropriate and appreciated. It's nice when someone can put a normal human sense on these majestic artists from a time long gone. I only wish I had time to do another tour or two with your company. I will definitely suggest your company to future friends who visit Italy.
Thanks again!

I cannot praise our guide, Jay, highly enough. He was incredibly informative, but also managed to make the huge amount of information he shared with us interesting by including many amusing anecdotes. His enthusiasm and love of the Vatican Museums was infectious. We were also impressed by his thoughtfulness; my elderly parents managed to keep up and he always waited for us! The small group size (13) was also good and made a big difference as there was time for questions. It was such a contrast to a perfectly dreadful tour experience we had had the day before at the Colosseum, sold by a ticket tout; groups of 50, unintelligible commentary, no opportunity for questions, broken headphones... nightmare! As this is my parents first (and probably last) visit to Italy, I was particularly anxious it would be a positive experience for them - it exceeded expectations. The booking experience was also very positive. So, many thanks!
Best wishes,

Sheila

We’re happy to say that we really enjoyed our Presto tour around the Vatican Museum, Sistine chapel and St Peters Basilica with our guide Mia. It was great being in a small tour of 14, especially compared to the other groups of 40+ we saw who seemed to struggle everywhere and were strung out across galleries etc. Mia was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, she clearly enjoyed the subject of art history and conveyed the information simply and clearly. She was sensitive to the groups needs, including our 9 and 13 year olds who afterwards remembered much of what she said and felt that it had been “cool”. Mia used a lot of humour as well as engaged in debate about different opinions regarding the nature of how the Vatican came to have all of the treasures it does!! She also knew when to give the group space and to move on / change location because people had had enough. All in all we thought she was great, the tour was excellent and gave good value overall – we’d recommend it.
Many thanks

Chris

Our vatican tour was tickets only, no tour. This in itself was perfect, it enabled us to skip the queue and then go round at our own pace. The colleseum tour - Michael was our guide. He was perfect, upbeat, humerous and made the 3 hours whizz by. A very enjoyable experience.
thanks,

Hi Tom, I really enjoyed the Presto Tour and Iggy was an excellent source of knowledge. One minor piece of feedback which perhaps might have made the tour better - Iggy walked very quickly ahead of the group at times and I have to say I struggled to keep up with him and i'm under 40!.. there were a couple of people in the group who i'm sure found it difficult to keep up. Other than that it was excellent - Iggy's knowledge and his passion for the subject matter were superb!
Cheers,

Cath


Thursday, March 27, 2008

Your guided tour of the Vatican was the highlight of our trip. I cannot praise it highly enough. Federica [apologies if the spelling is wrong] was a wonderful guide. She was clearly very well informed and passionate about the subject. She encouraged the group to ask questions and in addition to to the historical facts on the art, the papacy and the politics of the times, she also gave us some unusual anecotes that we would not have found in the mainstream tourist information. This was exactly what we were looking for from this tour. We will be staying in and around Sorrento and Naples in the summer and will be visiting Pompeii and Herculaneum, we will certainly check to see if your company does any tours in these areas. Once again, we cannot praise you enough for the quality of this tour.
Yours faithfully,


Monday, March 24, 2008

Wow did we ever love our Presto tour and our guide!!! I wish I could remember his name as he was INCREDIBLE!!!!! In fact we ran into him the next day and he helped us further with the Colliseum! What a great service you offer,really made our trip! Thanks sooooo much!!

Ron and Salina


Saturday, March 22, 2008

Our Guide for the Vatican Tour really made our visit to Roma. Jay’s knowledge and insight was truly remarkable. It’s been many a year since I met a person so enthused by his work. Roman history/philosophy is obviously a passion of his and he was able to communicate this to the group. Splendid trip, would recommend to anyone. Best regards,

Trevor

We really enjoyed our tour of the Vatican with Mia. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. My teenager's thought she was "awesome" and really appreciated her ability to interweave the Greek history with the roman catholic history. We gained much more appreciation of the art within the Vatican. I also think it is appropriate that this was the focus over the religious history. We also took the coliseum and Palatine Hill tour with Michael. He also was very pleasant and knowledgeable. There was much to see and the pace of the tour was balanced in seeing all but also allowing for pictures and pauses to appreciate the ruins. His humor was appreciated given it was pouring rain and he encouraged the group to interact and the feel was respectful and tolerant of questions and each other's differences. Both guides were respectful of the culture, the guards, and surrounding tour groups and I appreciated this approach given sometimes Americans are seen as aggressive, and being American myself, I appreciate that Mia and Michael are representing our country so well in Rome! We have already recommended your tour organization to individuals we encountered in Milan. (I work for a company that participates in multiple medical conferences worldwide and thus was at a conference in Milan that next weekend and recommended your tour group to several of my physician colleagues.)

Kind regards,

Diane


Thursday, March 20, 2008

We did a tour of the Vatican on Thursday, March 20 with your guide Maya. She was incredible. We had our 2 children on the tour (ages 8 and 12) and they were laughing with Maya the whole tour. She kept them involved with her funny stories about the Vatican. We also learned so much about Renaissance art from Maya that in Florence we kept on saying "remember Maya told us...". Thank you so much Presto. We will definitely recommend your tour group to others.

Cherie and Fred


Tuesday, March 18, 2008

The tour was absolutely wonderful. Our guide was very well informed and very pleasant. It was money well spent. Thank you so much.

Regards,

Thomas


Tuesday, March 18, 2008

Both tours were excellent! We really enjoyed them... even my 19-year old son who is quite easily bored. We learned a great deal, and saw much more than we would have seen otherwise in both cases, and understood much more about what we were seeing due your guides' vast knowledge of the locations. Both guides were very helpful and entertaining as well. I've already recommended your tour co. to friend.

Thank you for providing a great service at an affordable price.

Becky


Thursday, March 18, 2008

Our PrestoTours Vatican visit was ideal! After arriving at the Vatican City and seeing the long line to enter; we were glad to have booked a private tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable giving history facts and pointing out things that we would have otherwise walked past. We highly recommend PrestoTours!

Susan


Monday, March 17, 2008

The tours were FANTASTIC!! I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful we thought Jay and Liz were. I promise to tell anyone we know heading to Rome to make sure they use Presto.

Thank you again for making our trip to Rome (and our honeymoon ) absolutely wonderful!

Nan and Warren


Tuesday, March 11, 2008

maya, our vatican tour guide, gave my husband and i the best tour we've ever been on! she's very energetic and just taught us so much...very factually based, yet added her own sense of humor. in fact, maya taught us so much that we remembered much of what she taught us on the rest of our time in italy when we went to florence and venice. my husband and i would discuss when we looked at art or history and say...remember what maya taught us...this shows what she mentioned. she was very endearing and we send her wishes from san francisco (her hometown)! we also liked the fact that our tour group was small. it felt like you had a personal friendship with the tour guide instead of just staring at a colored tip of an umbrella as you're walking around with your headsets.

thanks for the best tour,

marie


Thursday, March 6, 2008

We took two different tours with Michael, the Colosseum tour and Ostia....he's just the greatest guide, extremely knowledgeable and patient with our questions. I would recommend Presto to everyone for a fulfilling and awesome tour. We took a tour to Tivoli with another company...and the guide was not every good at all, we were very disappointed in her plus it was a multiple language tour and they had assured us it was just for English speaking people.

Donna


Sunday, January 20, 2008

Even if I had not received this enquiry from you, it was my intention to let Presto know just how good we thought the service was on our two fantastic tours this week. The tour of the Vatican Museum etc on Wednesday 16th was just great. Our guide, Ryan, was excellent and so informative and took such time to answer questions and to make sure that we saw as much as possible. He made it seem as fresh to him as it was to us, even although I know that he has taken thousands of people through the same experience. On Thursday 17th we had the great privilege of touring the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and Forum with a real gentleman and expert from whom we learned so much. I am ashamed to say that his name escapes me......although I promise that I remember a great deal else of what he told us!!! He was wonderful. I will recommend Presto to anyone I know who intends to visit Rome and hope to book with you again in the future.

Many many thanks...you made our trip!

Marion


Friday, January 18, 2008

My daughter and I loved our tour of the Vatican Museum and St Peter's. Our tour guide, a very bubbly young lady from California was just great. She was interesting, never boring, and a wealth of information. It was obvious she loved art! Thank you presto for a great experience.

Pamela


Friday, January 18, 2008

We have been on tours with 3 different tour groups so far while in Italy and the Presto tour of Ancient Rome and The Colesium was by far the best. We can not for the life of us remember our tour guides name, but he was so informative and fun. I majored in Architecture while in college and some of the professors lectures where so boring. Our tour guide went over the same stuff but made it fun. If you can let us know the name of our tour guide that would be great. We would like to write a review on Tripadvisor.com and would like to recommend him.

Thanks again, so much,

Josh and Amanda


Friday, January 18, 2008

My family was very happy with presto tours. It is the third time, now, I have used presto to give the tour of the colosseum, forum, and palatine hill and each time we have been very pleased. Michael is a great tour guide.

Mark


Friday, January 18, 2008

I must say our tour last week (Saturday 12th January) with Ryan was absolutely fantastic. He is a fabulous guide with amazing knowledge of the Vatican Museums, etc. It just wouldn't have been the same without him. Please forward out thanks. Most certainly, if any of my work colleagues are planning a visit to Rome, I will tell them to contact you and ask for Ryan.

Yours sincerely,

Denise


Thursday, January 10, 2008

This was our sixth trip to Italy but only our second to Rome. We enjoyed it so much that we hope to return many more times to Italy and we will certainly include Rome on any future visit. One of the highlights of our trip was our visit to the Vatican which was conducted by Presto Tours. The small number in our group contributed in very large measure to our enjoyment and the enthusiasm and depth of knowledge of our guide proved a major factor in making our tour so memorable. You may rest assured that we shall again avail of your services and recommend you to any of our friends who are visiting Italy. We should like to know if you conduct tours in any other Italian cities, particularly Florence, Venice or Sorrento (Pompeii).

Yours sincerely,

Bernard


Wednesday, January 9, 2008

I just wanted to let you know that the tour on Dec. 14 was fantastic. Our guide (Canadian fellow) did an excellent job, it was not boring at all, he explained the different things by including some jokes and time flew by. We very much appreciate that we were only 8 people and that everything went super efficient.

Kind regards,

Ursula


Monday, January 7, 2008

Our guide, Ryan, was very good--his explanations were clear and concise and the tour was very well-organized. Without the tour, I am sure we would have never been able to visit the Vatican Museums which was one of the highlights of our trip to Rome.

JoEllen & Juan


Monday, December 10, 2007

We are very satisfied with our guided tour of the Vatican museum Dec-07. The guide was very skilled in weaving together a story as we went along. And, as he said himself, quite strikingly, he is basically a communicator. Don't lose this guy!

Bjorn and Lisa


Saturday, December 8, 2007

Thoroughly enjoyed my tour of the Vatican, November 27th, 2007 with Simone. Her knowledge, insight and humor made the tour a very pleasant and educational experience. I would definitely recommend Presto Tours to family and friends.

Mary


Friday, December 7, 2007

My Vatican Museum tour was outstanding. Ryan is an excellent guide, and the entire experience was better than I expected. No need to change a thing.

Thanks!

Scott


Friday, December 7, 2007

I must admit that when you book these tours on the internet you do feel a bit dubious and you always wonder whether the comments sent in by people are genuine but I can assure you this feedback is. The booking side of the tour was very easy and the instructions sent back by email were easy to follow. Our guide, Ryan, turned up exactly on time and took us on a tour of the Vatican and St Peter's Basilica that was thoroughly enjoyed by everybody in my party. He was so full of enthusiasm and interesting to listen to - pointing out little things that made the tour even more interesting - the three hours went by so quickly. We also agree that keeping the numbers in the party small is an excellent idea as with bigger parties you do not always get to hear everything. I will certainly recommend you to any friends or acquaintances who wish to head off to Rome and when we go again we will certainly look to book one of your other tours.

Many Thanks-

Robert


Thursday, December 6, 2007

We would highly recommend Presto tours to anyone. Our guide was terrific and it was entirely a super experience.


Monday, December 3, 2007

Wonderful! Our tour guide was terrific! He was knowledgeable, engaging, funny, insightful, - there are too many adjectives to describe this fine gentleman and the tour he provided. He was sensitive to our needs and interested in making our tour the best, which it was. We will definitely use Presto Tours in the future.

Thank you-

Ed


Friday, November 30, 2007

We had a wonderful experience with Presto Tours. We took the Vatican tour and our guide was Matthew. He was outstanding. He was on time, very informative and answered all our questions. I would highly recommend Presto Tours.


Friday, November 30, 2007

WE WERE VERY HAPPY WITH OUR TOUR GUIDE. SHE WAS PUNCTUAL AND VERY INFORMATIVE. WE WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER AND PRESTO TOURS TO ANYONE.

Thanks-

Mary


Wednesday, November 28, 2007

Hi We did indeed participate on your Vatican tour on Saturday 3rd November with Ryan. Our overall experience was extremely positive. We found Ryan very well informed, thorough, approachable and a delight to be around for 3 hours or so. Our party, of four adults, came away feeling that the contribution of the Tour Guide enhanced the history and splendour of the Vatican and, consequently, this tour became the highlight of our short stay in Rome. I hope the above helps.

Regards-

Trevor

Had a fantastic tour with Maya. She was so informative and helpful as I travelled with two elderly people. She was patient and made the tour very worthwhile. .

Wednesday, November 28, 2007

Hi, Still in HOng KOng, you could not have given us a more intelligent and honest tour leader, he was great think his name was Micheal, ,hate tours but loved this one, maybe again one day.


Friday, November 23, 2007

Buon giorno, We wanted to let you know that this 4 hour tour of the Vatican was EXCEPTIONAL. Not the Vatican and museums, which is amazing, but our guide, Michael. He was incredible. He was so knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun. We learned so much and there wasn't a question we asked that he didn't have more information about than one could imagine. While he has an incredible depth of knowledge, he has a wonderful, enthusiastic presentation. We would highly recommend your tours but definitely Michael. So, we thank you for the opportunity to take the Vatican tour with Michael. We will recommend your company to friends in the future. .

Ciao-

Donna


Thursday, November 22, 2007

To Presto Tours, Thank you for a very enjoyable tour of the Vatican Musuems, Sistine Chapel & St Peter's Basilica on Sat Nov 17th, our tour guide was Ryan, he was inspiring.

Both tours we did were brilliant. We did Ancient Rome with Michael and the Vatican with a young man from Toronto (sorry cant remember name). Both guides were excellent and great fun. THey really made our weekend! .

I'm sorry to reply so late. I wanted to tell you that our experience with Anthony as our guide was wonderful. He was excellent! Very knowledgeable, friendly and patient. It was a wonderful experience for my wife and I. I was so enthralled with the experience and history of Rome, I've begun reading the books recommended by Anthony. We would both do it again.

David


Friday, November 16, 2007

We Pre-booked our Presto tour of the Vatican from England. We were met by our guide, Matthew, on time and in the exact location defined by you. Matthew was an excellent guide and helped to make our visit memorable. We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 day break in Rome and the tour of the Vatican Museum and St Peters with Presto tours was definitley a highlight.

Regards-

David and Ann


Friday, November 16, 2007

Our experience was absolutely FANTASTIC. The guide was on time, and VERY knowledgeable. Together, with our overnight stay in Rome made it the BEST of the cruise. We would definitely use Presto again.

Thanks-

Ron


Friday, November 16, 2007

We had a lovely time thankyou in rome, there was nine in our party, and I'm sorry to say I didn't get the ladies name who did our tour. She was a lovely girl very informative, knowledgeable and I'm sure I speak for us all we wouldn't have enjoyed our vatican tour as much without her, she certainly knows a lot and enjoys herself we also thought the headsets were a very good idea we didn't miss a thing, I would certainly reccommend yourselves and no hesitaion of booking with yourselves again if I am lucky enough to go back to Rome.

Thank you-

Carol


Friday, November 16, 2007

HI, Just to let you know that we had a very good tour of the Coliseum and Forum. Well, worth the money .

Thank you-

Roger


Friday, November 16, 2007

We had a fantastic time in Rome. Our tour guide for the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel & St Peters tour was excellent. I was amazed with his knowledge – he was like a walking encyclopaedia! Would definitely recommend the tour to others. .

Kind Regards-

Kate


Friday, November 16, 2007

The tour was brilliant, well worth the money. We were met by a very enthusiastic young American woman who knew her stuff and made it very light and entertaining. I thought 3 hours might have been a bit heavy going but it just flew by. .

Judith


Thursday, November 15, 2007

We loved our tour! My Mom has trouble hearing sometimes especially in crowds, I mentioned this to the guide, Steve, and he took extra special care of her. She stayed close to Steve and vice versa. The individual head phones were perfect for her, she was able to turn hers up. The tour of the Vatican Museum was her favorite tour. I have attached a couple of pictures of Tour Guide Steve and my Mom Irene. Thank you Thank you for making her tour so wonderful! .

My best friend and I had a great time in Rome. Our tour guide, Ryan, was GREAT! He provided us with so much information during the tour and was able to answer everyone's questions. I would definitely have Ryan as my tour guide for any future visits/tours.

Thanks again-

Ignacio


Thursday November 8, 2007

I booked this for clients of ours who loved the tour of the Vatican - all of our clients have been very pleased with your tours this year. .

Regards-

Susan


Thursday November 8, 2007

Our tours were wonderful and we learned so much from your guides. We used Presto for the Colosseum & Vatican City tours. Your guides were very friendly and full of information that we could have never gotten from any books. They are obviously very passionate about Roman History and it came through in the tour. I would recommend Presto to everyone traveling to Rome. The group size of 15 max was a perfect size and made the tour seem personalized. Thanks for making our Rome experience the best it could have been .

Sincerely-

Cathy & John


Sunday, November 4, 2007

We cannot speak highly enough of your tours. The guides we had (Mitra for Colosseum/Forum) and Ryan (Vatican Museums) were knowledgeable and personable. The presentations were well-paced and informative, and when we asked questions they could give us a great deal more depth. In other cities we used tour companies and none came up to the Presto standard. In many cases where there was an Italian guide, and while their English was fine, their accent reduced comprehension on some occasions. This affected other members of the tour party too. When will you set up in Venice? Their tours were lightweight compared with yours.

Kind Regards-

Zeke Alley

Sunday, October 28, 2007

We are now cruising near Naples after a terrific time in Rome, where we thought Presto was wonderful. Just to give you some feedback after which we would certainly recommend Presto to our friends for the future 1. Tour with Maya of the Vatican. She was outstanding & we all had a great time. 2.Tour with Mitra of the Colosseum. She was also outstanding & answered with supreme knowledge all our questions. 3.Pick up & delivery to the ship was great Also Kirsten was very professional & did a great job Hope these comments are helpful.

Best regards,

David


Sunday, October 28, 2007

We had a great experience with Presto. I found your info on the Web. We had a wonderful tour of the Vatican with Maya on 10/16. She was very thorough and informative. She gave us lost of useful info and answered our questions very well. There were about 8 people in the group which was perfect. Thank you

Ann


Saturday, October 27, 2007

You have a gem in Maya - she was superb. She was so informative,had a good delivery and was great fun. My 12 year old daughter enjoyed her tour of the Vatican very much - that says a lot! We ended up having a private tour of the Colosseum on Wednesday which was great. We were very pleased with your organisation on the whole and the photos that you e mailed were very reassuring. We had excellent value for money. Thank you so much for helping to make our brief stay in Rome so good.

Angela


Friday, October 26, 2007

Please pass on my thanks to our Guide for the day Simone, she took us through the Vatican museums and the Basilica and made our trip to Rome.Simone's English was perfect and she always made sure our questions were answered. I will be recommending your company to all my friends who visit Rome. Thank you so much.

Simon


Friday, October 26, 2007

Thank you for your email requesting our feedback on your Colosseum/Roman Forum tour. Overall the tour was excellent with a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide who provided us with masses of interesting facts and information. I would recommend this tour to others and would use Presto if visiting Rome again.

Thursday, October 25, 2007

Thanks for a very informative and enjoyable tour of the Vatican. Our guide Ryan was both very knowledgeable and good fun.

Graham


Friday, October 19, 2007

Our experience with Presto was absolutely perfect. The tour guides were very knowledgeable, friendly, and enhanced our visits to the Vatican and Ephesus tremendously. In addition, we can't say enough good things about the drivers who met us at our hotel in Rome, drove us to the ship, and upon our return, drove from the ship to the airport. They were very punctual, drove safely, and the vehicles were comfortable. We will definitely contact Presto the next time we are planning a trip. Your company is terrific!!!!!

Thank you for all of your help.

Barbara


Tuesday, October 16, 2007

I'd have to say we had an outstanding experience with Presto tours. One thing that was interesting is that there were so many other tour groups that we actually had something to compare ours to. The Presto groups were smaller and more personal, which we really enjoyed. We actually got to ask questions of our tour guide, something I didn't see a lot of on other tours. The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable and we learned quite a bit about each site (Roman ruins and Vatican). Also, we ended up with flight issues which caused us to miss our original Vatican Tour and you guys stepped right up and rescheduled us for another day - that was fantastic and we really appreciate it. I'd give you guys a solid "A".

Thanks!,

Pete


Sunday, October 14, 2007

Hi, My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour (Colliseum, Pallatine, etc.). The Guide was very knowledgeable and eager to share his knowledge with the group. The size of the group was very nice, although I know a couple of people had to drop out because of the amount of walking involved. Outstanding time and well worth the money!

Thanks again,

Kent and Linda


Saturday, October 13, 2007

Thank you Presto Tours…. you're number one in my book and will be highly recommended. This was the first time I made arrangements for limo service and a tour through the internet, so I didn't know what type of service to expect. The drivers with your limo service were courteous and prompt on both occasions, and the Vatican tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to point out facts about the Sistine Chapel before we entered the museum so we would have a better understanding of what we were viewing and continued to point out facts and answer questions throughout our tour.

We had a superb tour of the Vatican City. Our guide was Elizabeth (Liz) from Dublin who was excellent. We booked the 13.00 hrs tour on Thursday, 11th Oct. As we passed the queues on other days they looked quite daunting, but by 13.00hrs, they had gone. Liz was amazing with a detailed and often amusing view of life in the Vatican. There was so much to take in but she made it all quite digestible. Please give her our thanks again for a memorable time. I would recommend your tours very highly.

Kind Regards ,

I wanted to thank Presto tours for the best tour I had in Italy last week. Anton was our tour guide who was very knowledgeable (how does one remember all the details of Italian history - must of majored in it I guess!) He was very patient and ensured we got our money's worth. He answered all our questions and got us in and out of the museum in a timely manner. It was a memorable experience! I recommended your company to another couple we met on our bike tour. I will recommend your company to my friends.

Ciao!

Our guide was FANTASTIC!!! I am sorry, I do not remember her name, but she was very knowledgable, helpful and thorough. She made the whole tour exciting and fun. We didn't comprehend how large the Vatican was and our guide was excellent at showing us the highlights. We would use Presto Tours again and recommend Presto to our friends in the future.

We've just arrived home from Rome, and I couldn't wait to get on the computer and tell you how wonderful your guide Michael is!! My husband and I took the Vatican City/St Peter's tour this past Saturday(10/6). This coincidentally just happened to be our one year wedding anniversary. When we saw the line to get into the Vatican Museum, we were worried. But Michael kept us well informed and quite entertained. The stories he told and the information he shared were AMAZING!! (never redundant or boring). The most impressive thing is the fact that he stayed well past the scheduled tour time of 3hrs to make sure we were able to see everything. We would have loved to thank him personally, but we had an anniversary dinner scheduled soon after. We have friends traveling out to Italy next year and you can be sure PRESTO TOURS comes highly recommended!!

Thanks again,

Dana and Matt


Monday, October 08, 2007

we have had a wonderful time touring the Vatican with your guide. Everything was smooth, efficient and the guide himself was brilliant. He was very to the point, very informative and kept us interested the whole time of the the 3hour guided tour. We thoroughly enjoyed it and had one of the best experiences of our trip to Rome in Vatican. Thank you Presto Tours and we would definetely use you again and will recommend you to anyone heading that way.

Sincereley,

We had a good experience with our recent tour of the Vatican. The young American tour guide arrived on time, was knowledgeable, and made it fun, too. We appreciated the headsets, as it made the tour so much easier to hear. We had a very nice tour!

Sincereley,

Sharon and Alfred


Monday, October 08, 2007

Thank you. My husband and I were extremely impressed by the quality of the tour. The guide had a wide and thorough knowledge of the subject. He was engaging and friendly and we felt it was money very well spent.

Both tours were very good. Maya was exceptional. Both guides were enthusiastic and informative. We will definitely use Presto.

Thanks,

Tuesday, October 02, 2007

We booked two tours with Presto - the first one was the Vatican, and Maya was excellent, not only was she able to pass on her vast knowledge in an entertaining and friendly manner, she was so helpful when we had problems with the bank atm. Many thanks Maya We also booked a tour for the Coliseum, and Anthony was great, - he imparted his depth of knowledge in a way that made the history of the area come to life. We thoroughly enjoyed both tours and would recommend Presto Tours to anyone visiting Rome. We particularly appreciated the small group numbers.

John and Sue


Monday, October 08, 2007

Michael was wonderful! We learned so much from him that we would have missed had we just went on a tour on our own. I really loved that we had the intercom system! I would definitely recommend this tour and with Michael! Thanks so much Presto Tours for the quick transaction and specific instructions that made meeting up with the tour group so easy.

Just wanted to say a big thanks to Ryan for the tour he gave us around the Vatican on Saturday. He was a mine of information and even kept us interested during a two hour wait to get into the Vatican, a tough job for anyone. Always helpful, he made sure we saw what was important and told us everything we needed. When we come back we shall be calling on your (and hopefully his) services again.

Regards,

Stephen and Vicky

Saturday, October 06, 2007

Of all the things we did while in Italy, the tour of the Vatican was perhaps the most informative and enjoyable part of our trip. It was time very well spent. Your guide, I believe his name was Ryan or Brian, was so great - really well versed in the history of the art, as well as the events that have taken place through the years. He was wonderful!!! Also, so appreciated the small size of the group and the headphones (last time I did the Vatican tour there were 35 or 40 people in the group and no headsets!) We have already recommended your tour service to three or four other people we met while on vacation who were looking for a tour. We will also recommend your service to anyone traveling to Italy in the future. Thank you for a very pleasant experience at the Vatican. And a special thanks to Ryan if/when you get a chance to tell him so.

Sincereley,

Mary and Dan

We have just returned from our 23 day holiday in Italy....one of the highlights of our visit was the tour of the Vatican with Maya...she was incredible....she spent a 4-5 hrs with us...it was pretty exhaustive even for just the 3 areas we covered....her energy level never waned and her wit and enthusiasm, wealth of knowledge and 'q and a' info were incredible...

Pat & Chris


Saturday, October 06, 2007

We really enjoyed our tour of the Vatican and the museums. Our guide Joanne was very nice and quite knowledgeable. We would definitely try to book another tour should we have the opportunity to visit Europe again.

Thank you,

Bob


Saturday, October 06, 2007

Our tour was wonderful and our guide was superior. His name was Ryan and I would recommend him to anyone. he was passionate about the Vatican and all he shared. thank you for a great tour.

Well, we just got home this morning at 2 a.m. so our pictures aren't quite downloaded yet. However, I gotta tell you...our tour and tour guide were absolutely terrific. I would recommend your tours to anyone who asked. I was so impressed with her knowledge and she has a great personality for this. We all lucked out!

Best,

Sandie


Friday, October 05, 2007

We really enjoyed our trip to Rome and were so glad we chose to do our Presto tour on a Wednesday. We spent the morning walking around St. Peter's square, admiring the Basilica and dome from the outside, as well as the fountains, the colonade and listening to the Pope in this magnificent setting! We were ready and waiting for our tour group at 1pm and Mia was right on time. She is really fantastic and we cannot say enough about her. We were amazed with her knowledge of art history and how her obvious love for the subject matter kept our interest the entire time. She interjected funny stories, was very personable to each member of the small group and answered every question that was asked. She was also very respectful of the Vatican museum guides and security guards, always acknowledging them and saying hello (ciao!) There was no line to wait in, which was amazing. You have done everything right as far as I can tell. Your website gives full information and once the tour is booked your meeting instructions were perfect. Even the time of day worked out great - I'm still amazed at no line to wait in to buy the tickets! And we feel lucky to have had Mia as our guide - she was the best! I will definitely recommend this tour to everyone.

Thank you very much!,

Denise


Tuesday, September 25, 2007

Mike & Zeta were highly impressed with our tour guide "Michael." He made the three hours just fly by with his interpretation of the Roman artifacts. Brilliant knowledge and massively enthusiatic. We would definately recommend and / or use again.

Many many thanks,

Mike & Zeta


Tuesday, September 25, 2007

I cannot express enough how pleased our group was with our tour of the Vatican. Our tour guide was a wealth of knowledge and the experience would not have been the same without her. I would not hesitate to recommend Presto tours in the future.

Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Kim


Monday, September 24, 2007

Booking the tour was a snap, the experience was as advertised. The group was small, the guide spoke English with an English accent not Italian which was much easier to understand for us Americans. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and began answering questions while we were in line which took our minds off of our long wait. The directions to the meeting place was great, even we found it :) Overall a very good experience.

Susan


Monday, September 24, 2007

The tour was excellent and the tour guide, Maya was exceptional. In fact, I had another group of friends doing the same tour today and raved about her knowledge, personality and presentation. I absolutely would book another tour through your agency.

Mary


Wednesday, September 19, 2007

Our experience was very positive and we will definitely recommend your company to our friends. Our guide was a wealth of information and the price and size of the group were great.

Thanks,

Donna


Sunday, September 16, 2007

We would like to thank you for your wonderful tours of the Vatican, Colosseum, Forum & Palatine Hill. Jo, our guide on the Vatican tour on Saturday 8 September was so knowledgeable, we wouldn't have learned as much without her. The Tapestry Room at the Vatican Museums was wonderful, especially Jo pointing out a very interesting aspect on one of the tapestries. We would never have noticed, so thank you Jo, we will never forget! I will not disclose what the surprise is as I don't wish to spoil the tour. We know a lot of people who have visited the Vatican on their own but you do need a guide. Jo was so enthusiastic in her love of history and art. Mike, our guide on the Colosseum, Forum and Palatine Hill Tour on Sunday 9 September was also wonderful in his knowledge and really brought everything to life with his descriptions, I could almost hear the crowds in the Colosseum way back in ancient times! Palatine Hill is breathtaking in proportions and without Mike we would have been wandering around trying to figure out things for ourselves. Thank you Presto Tours for two fantastic, informative tours. We will definitely recommend your company to our friends visiting Rome.

Kind regards,

Catherine & Vincent


Sunday, September 16, 2007

The tour guide, Jo, was excellent. Very knowledgeable and very nice.

Thursday, September 13, 2007

We would like to say how brilliant Jo was she made our trip to the Vatican the highlight of the holiday something we will always remember nothing was too much trouble she was very informative and gave a wonderful insight into the history of the vatican. I would recommend Presto Tours to anyone who is going to Rome in the future. Thank you.

Regards,

Diane


Tuesday, September 11, 2007

Ryan was absolutely the ingredient we needed for the Vatican tour. We have some great video of the tour along with pictures. Ryan is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and interesting. I will encourage any visitors to take a private tour with Presto and ask for Rya

Our tour was amazing. Maya, our tour guide was extremely informative and an excellent guide. I would recommend your tours to anyone coming to Rome.

Thank you,

Stacey


Saturday, September 08, 2007

Let me say that our guide was great! She would be providing details and information while others would come and go which let me to think she had more information then the others. She was the best! This certainly made our visit to the Vatican most enjoyable.

Melissa


Saturday, September 08, 2007

We had a fantastic tour of the Vatican with Mia. She was energetic, entertaining and one of the most knowledgeable tour guides I have ever encountered in my life. Even my small children took away the valuable historic information and interesting perspective that she provides.

Donna


Tuesday, August 21, 2007

The tour was terrific. Your team was prompt, efficient and cordial. The young woman who met us and checked us in could not have been more welcoming and fun. Maya was one of the best tour guides I've ever had. She had a wealth of information and made even the long, hot wait in line informative and enjoyable. I will definitely book Presto Tours next time I am in Italy.

Judy


Wednesday, August 15, 2007

We took a tour from Presto with guide Jay. He was amazing, so knowledgable and interesting. My children were also on the tour and Jay answered all of their questions with wonderful fun explainations they understood. Thank you Presto tours for making our trip to Rome a fun and educational trip the entire family enjoyed.

Cheers,

Gina


Tuesday, August 14, 2007

I have just returned from my European adventures and your tour was definitely the highlight of our tour.

Thank you again for all the arrangements. We will highly recommend your company in the future!

Monday, July 09, 2007

We have just returned from our trip to Italy and would like to say how pleased we were with both tours we took with you. The registration process was easy; we liked your notification of where to meet the tour guide -- having the photo of the location especially helped. When we were in Rome, it was even hotter than usual, especially on the day we took the Colosseum/Roman Forum tour and both guides tried to make us as comfortable as possible. We were happy with both Joshua and Daniela, but really want to say how wonderful Daniela was. It is an inspiration to see someone so passionate about her subject matter and so excited to relay the information to her tour participants. I wish we had had more time in Rome to take some of your other tours.

Sincerley

JoAnne


Sunday, July 08, 2007

Our tour was brilliant. The tour guide was a girl named Liz from Dublin. She took time to explain lots of stuff to us, important things we may have missed if we where on our own. WELL DONE LIZ. She was very Knowledgeable, knew what she was talking about and had time for everyone. I would recommend Presto tours to anyone and did while on our visit to Rome. I would certainly book an other tour with your company on my next trip later in the year. Thank you

I recently took my son to Rome and we did both your Coloseum and Vatican City tours. They were both great. The tour guides were VERY up on their topics. The pace was quick and they finished pretty much right on time. I certainly will return to Italy, and when I do, I would certainly consider one of your tours again. Thank you for a great experience, especially for my 17 year old son - a tough audience - and he enjoyed the tours, even in the 90+ degree heat.

Sincereley,

Dawn

Our Vatican tour with Maya was great! She was informative and quite delightful!! I now wish we had booked our other tours with Presto...and will remember that for the future.

Thanks for asking,

Jasmine


Thursday, July 05, 2007

First of all may I say how much I appreciated you calling me at home when my neither of my credit cards were accepted on the internet. You made booking the tour very easy by 'phone. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our Presto Tour. Your guide (Katrina) was very informative, knowledgeable and with a good sense of humour. I would have no hesitation in recommending Presto Tours and hope to use you again on my next trip to Rome.

Best regards,

Marion


Thursday, July 05, 2007

We were very happy with our tour of the Vatican with Agnes, our tour guide. Our group included three children, and Agnes was able to keep them interested in what we were seeing, as well as answer their many questions, and she also pointed out many things that might be of peculiar interest to children, though everyone in the group seemed fascinated by these details as well! Having taken other tours in Italy that were not booked through your company, I can say that yours was particularly well organized, prompt, kept the number of participants to a manageable level, and provided a guide who was easy to understand, well informed, and at ease talking to a group. Thanks for helping to make our visit to the Vatican an enjoyable one!

Maiya


Wednesday, July 04, 2007

Our Vatican tour was fantastic and the best experience we had in Rome. Our guide, (Liz), was simply delightful, regaling us with a wealth of interesting information and amusing anecdotes delivered in such a way as to quickly build a rapport with the tour group. The Vatican is an amazing site to visit, however I have no doubt that this experience was enhanced and made more magical by such an enthusiastic and motivated person. I will be highly recommending this tour to any future visitors.

Thank you,

Michele


Tuesday, July 03, 2007

We really enjoyed both of our tours Daniella was our guide for the Coliseum and ancient ruins tour - she was fabulous, knowledgeable and energetic. She even escorted us to the Jewish ghetto and told us how to get to the Campo de fiore. The group was small and we were able to ask questions and interact without the limits of large groups. Elizabetha was our Vatican City tour guide - again she was wonderful. Her knowledge was unparalleled and she was so sweet and personable. I felt that my experiences with presto tours enriched my trip to Rome and added to the culture and fun of the city

Thank you,

Lori


Tuesday, July 03, 2007

The tour was fantastic. Our group couldn't say enough about our tour guide Mya (sp?). She added so much to the tour with history and back stories of the pieces we were seeing. She was funny and engaging which kept the group enthusiastic. Please pass along my kudos to her.

Thanks again, it was well worth it..span>

The tour was FANTASTIC!! The meeting place was convenient and your e-mail with the picture & arrow made it very easy to find. We took the tour on Saturday, June 23rd at 11:00 and I believe our tour guide's name was Joanne or Joanna. She was terrific! She was very knowledgeable about the art & history of the Vatican Museums & spoke perfect English (I think she was from Great Britain). She thoroughly explained the Sistine Chapel & what we were going to see & gave us time to simply be amazed by it all. She encouraged & answered all of our questions. The Vatican & St. Peter's Basilica are so overwhelming that I can't imagine seeing it without the help of a Presto tour guide. I would highly recommend your tours to anyone traveling to Rome! I also want to thank you for allowing us to change our tour date. The trains were on strike on Friday & we couldn't get from Florence to Rome until Saturday. Your tour was a highlight of our week in Italy!

Thanks for a great experience!,

Nancy


Monday, July 02, 2007

Overall, we were very pleased with both of our Presto Tours. We enjoyed the Colosseum/Ancient Rome tour the most. Our tour guide for that was Anthony and he was SO very knowledgeable about every question that was asked of him and gave tons of info on everything - very cool. And he planned our tour very efficiently too - making sure we made the most of our time and the shade, and limit the amount of time we waited in line at the Colosseum. Elizabeth (our tour guide) was also very knowledgeable about all the questions asked of her and gave lots of interesting information about the Vatican, things in it and also info on Rome and entertaining ourselves afterward. Both of our tour guides were extrememly warm and friendly. They do a great job of relating to every personality thrown at them. We would definitely choose Presto again in the future and recommend Presto to anyone we know looking for tours.

Thanks again!

Kelly

We can not express fully to you how wonderful our tour of Vatican City was. Desptie a terribly hot day, touring in an extremely crowded area, Maya made out day highly educational and delightful. In fact our wish was that we had Maya as our personal tour guide for the entire time in Rome, and we tried to book with her for the Colluseum the following day but unfortunately her tour was booked full. Thank you for the followup and please give Maya our regards and mention that we hope to see her on our next visit to Rome. .

Our tour was fabulous. Anthony was a wonderful guide. He was so knowledgeable and had great stories and facts to make the day interesting and fun.

Thank you for your follow up. It is appreciated.

Kudos to your group.

Jennifer


Sunday, July 1, 2007

We were greatly impressed with our Colosseum tour and guide. It ended up being one of the best parts of our 2 week European vacation. Our guide at the Colosseum was awesome! I can't remember her name, but she is from Romania and she comes to help in the summers while she is out of school. She was very knowledgeable, kind, and funny. We really enjoyed her! Kudos to her! Thanks for offering your tours!

Cindy


Saturday, June 30, 2007

We just got back from our Italy vacation last night. My husband and I had a wonderful time. We spent the last three days in Rome. I want to thank you for giving us our preference of tour guides. I had read comments about Maya and thought she sounded terrific. We were not disapointed. She was very knowledgable, entertaining, and patient throughout our private tour of Vatican City. Both of us learned so much that we would have not been able to gather on our own. We were a bit late for our tour because we had to walk from the Collseum...couldn't find a taxi. Maya was very accomodating and found a bar for us to get water and a sandwich to take on our tour. She brought the history of the St. Peter's and the Vatican alive for us. I cannot say enough about how wonderful of a guide she was...she would be an excellent History professor! By the end of the tour, we were sad to leave her. She really took ownership of our well being and satisfaction. At the end, she even got us a taxi and negotiated our fare!

Our best to Maya and your tour company!

Chris and Scott


Saturday, June 30, 2007

We had the best tour guides! They were both so informative, interesting and fun. Both were very knowledgeable--able to answer some tough questions from our groups.

Thanks for the great travel experience!!

Colleen


Saturday, October 13, 2007

Thank you Presto Tours…. you're number one in my book and will be highly recommended. This was the first time I made arrangements for limo service and a tour through the internet, so I didn't know what type of service to expect. The drivers with your limo service were courteous and prompt on both occasions, and the Vatican tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to point out facts about the Sistine Chapel before we entered the museum so we would have a better understanding of what we were viewing and continued to point out facts and answer questions throughout our tour. Thank you Presto Tours for a wonderful experience.

Olga and Dmytro


"What can I say about your guides and the tours? Absolutely brilliant! These guys love their job and it showed. Both the Vatican and Colosseum tours ran over the 3 hour mark and were packed full of information. Your guides helped make a four day flying visit to Rome better than we had hoped for. Thanks to everyone involved."

The Vatican & St. Peter's Basilica are so overwhelming that I can't imagine seeing it without the help of a Presto tour guide. I would highly recommend your tours to anyone traveling to Rome!"

"Our tour guide for that was Anthony and he was SO very knowledgeable about every question that was asked of him and gave tons of info on everything - very cool. And he planned our tour very efficiently too - making sure we made the most of our time and the shade, and limit the amount of time we waited in line at the Colosseum."

"We had a wonderful tour with "Agnes" for the Vatican City tours. She was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. We were part of a wonderful group as well so there were plenty of great questions which really added to the experience."

Thanks for getting in touch regarding our tour of the Vatican Museums and St Peters; I was going to email you regarding the trip so it was good that you asked. My wife and I would like you to pass on our heartfelt thanks to Agnes for an outstanding, knowledgeable and enlightening tour. I have never been a tour person but this has certainly changed my perspective. Personally I could have listened to her for longer, the time just flew by - her knowledge base was brilliant. On Agnes' recommendation we visited St Peters again on our last morning to take in the sights from St Peters Cupola - breathtaking and everything she said it would be. We had already visited the Colosseum prior to this tour and quite honestly we should have included this venue too, as the information available at the site is very limited........so that will have to be done next time. Thanks again, if the rest of your team are as professional as our guide your business will flourish.

Sincerely, John

Thank you very much! We liked the tour very much and were extremely happy to have a small group when looking at all the large groups around the places. We come back! Best wishes

We found the picture and details of the meeting point extremely helpful. The tour guide (sorry, we can't remember her name, she told us she was from London) was excellent in every aspect which made the tour of the Vatican and St Peters really informative and very enjoyable. The audio system was of great benefit owing to the large crowds on the day. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour from start to finish and would highly recommend your company for tours. We would certainly use Presto again if going on holiday. Thanks again

Dear Presto, My family was very impressed with the two tours that we had with your tour guide Maya. We joined her for the tour round the Vatican on the Saturday and than arranged with yourself an additional tour to the Colosseum the Sunday. Our group was a mixed group in age and included both my mother and my children who are aged 15 and 11. Maya catered for the needs of all the Group and kept us enthralled with all the interesting information and facts that she knew. Maya was able to present the information in such a way that you certainly remember it and can relate to it. We all agreed that if she had not been leading us on the Vatican tour we would have missed a lot of the magnificent art work that is there. We went on the Saturday before Easter so as you can imagine it was exceptionally busy and we had to wait for over 2 hours to get into the Vatican. Maya kept us entertained in the queue and to be honest we all felt much safer with her. Once we got in she led us round in a very professional manner. The next day we visited the Colosseum and once again Maya was brilliant. The whole experience was both interesting and you felt that old Rome came to life. We would have no hesitation in recommending Presto Tours and Maya in particular to any of our friends visiting Rome. Maya is very personable and friendly and made our trip to Rome very memorable.

Yours sincerely Monica

My family and I greatly enjoyed our tour by Ornella. She was informative, interesting and helpful in getting my mother's wheelchair in and out of the sites. We will recommend her to friends and family visiting Rome. We will have a group of about 12 of our family visiting Tuscany this summer. Do you have an office in Firenze that we could use fo
