This
is an email we received on
24th July 08 from Maria from
the UK:
Dear
Massimo
Just wanted to say a huge
thank you for your assistance
with tickets for the concert
- through our introduction
to Andree and his family we
were able to travel with them
both to the accommodation
and to the concert itself
it all worked so well. We
made sure we thanked them
by buying some food and drinks
before and after the concert.
Unfortunately the organisers
of the concert had problems
with seating and they were
unable to seat us properly
because of difficulties with
numbering on tickets (the
7 tickets that Andree purchased
did not have seats that corresponded)
however this did not spoil
things for us and I was happy
to sit on the steps just to
be there!! It was a really
wonderful evening and Andrea
Bocelli was incredible.
Many thanks again
Kind Regards
Maria

This is an email we received
on 22nd July 08 from Dean
and Wendy from the UK:
Buonesera
Massimo & Arianna,
Having
now safely returned home -
I thought I'd send you a brief
note just to say that it was
a pleasure dealing with you
over the last few weeks and
also very briefly, with Arianna
on Sunday night. The wine
went down perfectly at our
meal in the hotel and the
welcome pack was a really
nice touch. With your help,
this turned out to be the
perfect birthday surprise
for Wendy - she was actually
crying with happiness at the
concert (I was also crying
but at the thought of my bank
balance!!). Our 'luck' with
the trains and buses continued
until we left!! We also met
Dave and Christine at the
Le Torri hotel and spent ages
swapping Italian stories /
experiences. You will be pleased
to hear that they spoke very
highly of you. As we know
many people and also enjoy
tourism websites, we'll be
recommending you to all the
'Tuscanites' out there.
Grazie,
Dean
& Wendy

This
is an email we received on
22nd July 08 from Samantha
from the UK:
Massimo,
Just a little note to thank
you and tell you how much
we enjoyed our trip to Tuscany.
The organisation was spot
on, the transfers were all
on time, the drivers were
very friendly. We really liked
the Hotel Grand San Marco,
the staff were very helpful
and the resort was a welcome
break from the faster pace
in the city. The tickets for
the concert were perfect and
we had a great view of Andrea.
My only very small point in
terms of feedback was that
the Astoria Hotel was really
a little tired, I think they
are undergoing renovation
too, probably more of a three
star but the room was very
clean and the location central,
I booked the trip in a bit
of a rush and probably should
have considered a higher grade
hotel but that is probably
just my preference. Thank
you so much for your help
in organizing, I have already
recommended your services
to others and would not hesitate
to contact you again for my
next trip to Tuscany.
Very best regards,
Samantha
