What's Included in your Best of South Italy in 13 Days tour
Great Guides!
"Heidi Sewell (above) has exceptional leadership skills, informed, passionate, willing to share personal opinions recognizing that others might differ, a great humor, able to laugh at herself, with a 'don't mess with me' confidence when needed. She treated people well, expected us to be responsible for that which was rightly our responsibility. We'd recommend Heidi to anyone, and be glad to go with her again. We especially enjoyed her non-verbal Italian language lessons."

"Rainer Metzger was wonderful. He was at all times sensitive to the wide range of ages and needs in our group and made sure we were all aware of the many options we had at each stop. I really enjoyed getting a feel for the current political and social trends of Italy along with his extensive knowledge of Italy's culture and history. He was always anxious to help us with our many questions, even when we would run into him on our free time. His genuine love for the people and country was very visible. I was also appreciative of his making sure that we were aware of local customs so that we would not offend any one."
