CCMP Posted July 18, 2007 #1 Share Posted July 18, 2007 We are trying to decide on the following: Private shore excursions for: Livorno/Florence--Does anyone have recent experience with: papillonservice.com prestigerent.com romelimousines.com (Bob's limousines and tours) florencetour.com (Paola Migliorni) tuscany-trips.com Naples/Pompeii/Amalfi Coast--Does anyone have recent experience with: tourofitaly.com (Giancarlo Gargiulo) aptours.it Or, if anyone has any other recommendations for private excursion drivers/guides, please let me know. There will be six of us, ages 10 to 80. Also, we are looking for a recomendation for a driver/private tour guide in Rome to pick us up at the airport on the morning we arrive in Rome (jetlagged) and give us a private tour until we can check in at the hotel around 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Also, many of the emails I received back state that I need to give my credit card number for their use in case we are no shows. (Payment in cash at end of tour.) Although I understand the companies' point of view, I am very uncomfortable doing this since most of the websites don't seem to have secure encryption. How has anyone else handled this? Thanks.

Andee Posted July 18, 2007 #2 Share Posted July 18, 2007 We used Giovanni (who I believe is Giancarlo's father) from tourofitaly and were very satisfied. Six adults fit very comfortably in his van. If you send your credit card # in two separate emails, you may feel more secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldog Posted July 19, 2007 #3 Share Posted July 19, 2007 You will probably get more information if you post this question on the Europe-Mediterranean board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LYNNVAN Posted July 24, 2007 #6 Share Posted July 24, 2007 We used Angelo at WWW.FLORENCELIMOTOURS.COM for our last trip to Florence. He picked us up at Livorno & drove to Florence. We had a wonderful time with Angelo. He lives in Florence & went to Boston College so his English was EXCELLENT! He had great gelato recommendations, knew the city very well and picked us up and dropped off promptly. We were supposed to go to Pisa for a quick stop on the way back but there was an accident & construction & traffic was horrible getting back to the port. Angelo felt terrible that we didn't make it to Pisa and even took 40 euros off the price. It was very honest of him as it wasn't his fault. We highly recommend Angelo when visiting Florence.
