Great Tour!

My wife was only concerned with the fashion part of Milan, whereas I paid close attention to the industry and architecture that took place right in front of my eyes! Excellent being able to experience first hand! Great tour for both myself and my wife!

The Highlight Of Our Italia Vacation

Brandon provided us an over-the-top tour of the amazing sights in Rome. From the moment I made contact (via email) with him through Rick Steves' recommendation, his communication was prompt and very helpful. Brandon's personality, smile and in-depth knowledge are solid gold. He makes you feel like you are the only one in a crowded room. He is right there on top of everything at all times. We started our trip in Milan and Brandon arranged a tour of Milan and The Last Supper. That tour was over-the-top with Alex. Brandon also took care of the airport transfers in Milan and Rome with upper crust drivers. It was so reassuring knowing Brandon took care of every last detail. He does it ALL! Make your 1st step in planning ANY European vacation is to contact The Roman Guy.
