Thank you so much for your kind hospitality during my recent visit to Umbria. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip, and am looking forward to recommending the fascinating towns and villages in your area to our clients.
The unique combination of superb cuisine, breathtaking scenery and outstanding art and culture within the region will inspire us to write some interesting new itineraries.
Thank you also for looking after us so well; it was good to have the benefit of your expertise, and your kindness throughout.
Thank you again.
With best regards

Hi Alessandra,
Jackie and I are back home from our Italy trip now and I wanted to say hello. We had such a wonderful day with you seeing your town, having lunch and going on the wine tasting. You are an amazing guide! We can't believe our trip is already over :(
Hope to hear from you -- take care.

Dear Alessandra
We have often thought about you and how much we miss our meetings and excellent lessons we had with you. We hope you realise that your lessons gave us a great surge in learning Italian as well as the very memorable social times. We miss this enormously.

Hallo Allessandra,
heute ein herzlicher Gruß von mir. Sie haben am Dienstag mit uns eine Stadtführung in Assisi gemacht, die besonders wunderbar war. Ich möchte Ihnen noch herzlich danken.
Alles Gute und bis bald
Georg
13/06/2007 We love Assisi and last visited
it more than 10 years ago, before the earthquake, but
this occasion was made particularly special by the
attractive, very knowledgeable guide that managed to
bring to life the history of the church, its art and
of St. Francis most vividly. Then, the grand climax
of the visit to the library- what and experience!..
hello,
I wanted to thank you for all you
did for us with the wonderful day in Assisi and spello.
it was a great time and we all enjoyed your company so
much. The wine tasting lunch was perfect and all had
a delightful experience.
On a personnel note, I would
like to tell you that you made this day for me one
I wont soon forget. Your knowledge and poise and personality
brought so much to making the buildings and streets
and shops and historical artifacts have a voice I would
not have heard if not for yours. for this I thank you.
I
hope that you were not too tired by the time you reached
the coast. I am afraid we were quite greedy with your
time. did igor enjoy his holiday? Did he have a sardine
on his plate each morning? my cats were glad to see me
when I returned home.
I will close now with a kind wish
for your good fourtune and a thank you once more for
sharing your day with us. keep safe.
ciao
Anne
Hey alessandra;
Thanks again for the very
nice tour of Perugia. We found it very educational and
enjoyable. Enclosed are the pictures you liked. Hopefully
you will be able to use them on your site.
And remember,
there is room in the jet for you for the trip to NYC
on Friday! J

Ciao, Alessandra
We did manage to navigate the car
back to Perugia train station, thanks to your navigation
instructions to exit via Perugia Prepo on the day
after we parted company with you. And now we are back in Australia,
still saying to each other "Wasn't the ...........
we saw in Umbria amazing/charming/glorious/etc?"
We had a simply wonderful time exploring
the historic treasures and hidden pleasures of beautiful
Umbria with you. The wealth of information that you provided
and the detailed knowledge that you shared with
us gave us insights into a culture that would
have escaped us if we had attempted to explore the
ancient hill towns on our own.
Your company was charming and relaxed
despite your need to "pace" the tour. We hope
that we didn't stress you too much with our constant
questions about anything and everything Umbrian and/or
Italian!
Would you please express to the owner and mother
of that wonderful house under renovation how appreciative
we were of the opportunity to visit it. Marco
Belanca also deserves our thanks for his part in
enthusiatically revealing Gubbio to us.
As a result we have emailed Vian in Canada giving
you the highest possible reference as an Umbrian guide.
Our digital images still await our
attention. If
we have captured any amazing images we'll email to
you.
If you ever contemplate visiting our home city
of Melbourne, we would be pleased to provide a
personal (unskilled!) guide service--just let
us know.
With our best wishes, many grateful thanks and love

Hallo Frau Kuper,
am Montag sind wir voller neuer Eindrücke aus Rom zurückgekehrt. Es war herrlich!!!
Vielen Dank für die gute Reisevorbereitung und den supernetten und tüchtigen Fahrer!!!
Die Wahl der Hotels war prima, allerdings sehr unterschiedlich.
Beilngries (Zwischenübernachtung Heimweg) war so gut, dass die Gruppe wenig Lust zur Weiterfahrt hatte. Die Betreuung dort war sehr persönlich, das Essen ausgezeichnet.
Das Hotel am Gardasee, das ich ja selbst vorher gesehen hatte, sah besser aus als es tatsächlich war. Ein Hausmeister sollte dort einmal einen Rundgang machen und das Inventar reparieren, dafür war das Essen super!
Das Clarhotel in Rom war für unsere Gruppe ideal, Hotel Abacus in Assisi ebenfalls. Unsere Stadtführer Alessandra und Herr Hunke kann man wirklich nur weiterempfehlen. Sie haben uns mit soviel Fachkenntnis und Freundlichkeit begleitet, wie man es sich nur wünschen kann. Wunderbar war auch unser Ausflug nach Frascati. Das Restaurant samt Abendessen war gelungen und als Überraschung trat noch eine Sängerin auf, die sich wohltuend von den üblichen weinseligen Gesängen abhob.
Bei der Papstaudienz ist es Ihnen sogar gelungen, unsere Namensnennung im Hauptteil unterzubringen und nicht im Vorlauf - die Gruppe war begeistert.
Das Allerbeste aber war nach einstimmiger Meinung unser Fahrer Robert Hagemann, der uns wirklich unglaublich gut betreut hat. Die nächste Fahrt kann nur mit ihm stattfinden! (Wahrscheinlich soll es in die Provence gehen, aber ich spreche Sie noch an, wenn alles konkreter ist.)
Bitte teilen Sie mir mit, wann ich die Gesamtrechnung erhalte, damit ich die Überweisung dann umgehend veranlassen kann.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen aus dem verregneten Bochum
Hi Alessandra, sorry this has taken so long to send. I know your Mom will be proud of her botanist. :-) Could you identify each of the leave for me. We had a great day with you. What a fun job you have. Thanks for everything, Happy
Alessandra,
I was going through my Cal Italy trip file and I found your email. I have attached the picture of you with "Campy" on our Cal Tour of Tuscany trip as well as a picture of Keith and me. We so enjoyed the trip and your expertise in the local history. Happy New Year!

Ciao Alessandra
I just wanted to say
thank you for the wonderful tour you planned for the
Jorgensens and the Hughes. They said it was a
highlight of their trip and really enjoyed you as a
guide.
