I can not say enough kind things about Sara and her husband Enzo. This was one of the most amazing and personalized tours we have ever taken. The time and effort put into this tour by them to make this very special for us was above and beyond anything we could have expected. We can't wait to return to Italy to hire them again. We would feel as if we were returning to see friends. For a truly amazing time choose Sara as your guide

You are so kind! Indeed it was such a great pleasure to meet you and spend the day with you both! Actually we partially repeated the day yesterday passing through Alifie and returning to Mount Matesse to lunch and walk under the cool trees. Enzo said that perhaps the council have records of your f More
amily in their archives so we could look for these when you return. The lovely tea towel of Michigan is a daily reminder of both the day and you. Speed you back! Less

Wonderful day with Sara and her Italian husband Enzo! They customized our tour to accommodate our interests (the local silk industry, as my husband's ancestors emigrated from Casarta and San Leucio) and added must see attractions. We had grand chats about all manner of things, stops for coffee and lunch, and door-to-door service from the cruise port in Naples where we docked.

As a solo traveller on her first trip to italy there are not enough words to express my appreciation of the service, support and caring provided by Sara and Enzo. Unfortunately due to a sudden illness that landed me in the Campobasso hospital the night before, our tour agenda changed. Sara and Enzo met me in the hospital, ensured clear translation and communication with all the health care providers and pharmacists and got me comfortably settled in my next hotel in Cassino once i was discharged. The next day I was almost 100% and sara and enzo provided the most comprehensive and informed tour of Cassino and the Liri Valley that i had set out to do. I will NEVER forget their kindness, rich knowledge, and personal caring and support. They are brilliant stars!

Our trip to Monte Cassino was fantastic thanks to our great tour guides Sara and Enzo.
We booked our guided tour with Sara and Enzo months before we embarked on our trip to Italy, which was especially planned to follow some of the journeys of the 28th Maori Battalion through Italy during WWII. S&E asked what we wanted to see and put a plan together accordingly, with extras suggestions as well.
We met with Sara and Enzo bang on time at our Hotel in Monte Cassino as planned, with a quick coffee and chat before we set off for the day in their car. We started off with the Commonwealth Cemetery, Enzo showing us exactly where the New Zealanders were buried (at the front right hand corner), where we found a local Maori soldier from my home town to which we paid homage to. Beautiful graves arranged and mantained. Enzo's knowledge he shared with us was outstanding, pointing out where the NZ Commander Kippenberger was when he was observing and injured on Mount Trocchio. We spent a bit of time at the Cemetery being just over an hour as we wanted to look over the entire area and - Sara and Enzo were very patient. Next stop we went to the German Cemetery and were very impressed with how the graves were arranged and maintained with Sara and Enzo always filling us in with the history of the fighting of the battles in the hills above us with particulary the Polish Corp that fought with so much determination and bravery. Next stop was a quick look at a small castle half way of the mountain before heading up to the Abbey itself.
Sara and Enzo suggested we do a tour of the Abbey with one of Abbey's guides - which was well worth it as we got to go to areas that the public are not allowed to enter. The Abbey and Museum were amazing and not to be missed.
Our tour was finished off with a visit to the Polish cemetery with over a thousand warriors buried there. I can't speakly highly enough of Sara and Enzo, great hosts, great guides, the research and planning they had done for our trip was superb - lovely nice people who were a wealth of information.

Indeed you were fantastic guests and this made everything easier for us. We were moved about the compassion you showed in giving your homage to the Maori fallen soldiers. We'll never forget Himi putting a stone under the ground of each Maori tomb, stones he carried from theirs and your Homeland as p More
er your ancient tradition. It was a pleasure for us to guide you among the various places which were the scenario of the battles fought by so many young soldiers to grant the new generations freedom from tyranny. Although we are living on opposite parts of the world your visit made us understand how similar is our feeling about many things. It is as the distance between our countries has become smaller. We wish you all the best for your enterprises and we hope to see you again in the future, to show you the many beautiful places we have here and their very long history. Fondest Regards to both.
