Private tour guides in Italy
 

I need some names/websites/emails of private tour guides that you have used and enjoyed. We will be in Venice, Florence/Tuscany, Rome,Pompeii.<BR>Thanks

I have never used any of these, but perhaps providing a first answer and bringing your question back to the top will help.<BR><BR>You will need to search here on this forum a little to find current opinions on these.<BR><BR>For Venice, the American Express tours seem to get good remarks.<BR><BR>For Rome, search for &quot;Scala Reale&quot; and/or eternaltourist (&quot;Mayta&quot;). Neither is exactly the perfect combination of price and value, but both are pretty good, I think.<BR><BR>Hope someone can help you with Florence/Tuscany. Although primarily based in Umbria/Assisi, you might have some luck with Anne Robichaud.<BR><BR>I don't recall any names for Pompeii.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

From a previous post here:<BR><BR>Author: Mary ([email protected])<BR>Date: 11/10/1999, 08:16 pm<BR><BR>Message: E-mail Pauline Priori in Florence @ [email protected]. <BR><BR>She's a tour guide in Florence and Tuscany and comes highly recommended! She speaks both English and Italian and is fabulous! <BR><BR>We just came back and used her for 2 1/2 day tours. One day she took us around Florence historic center, museums included, and the next morning took us to a winery in an old medieval castle in Chianti. The winery included wine tastings and lunch. She is fabulous. <BR><BR>
