We spent a lovely week Touring Italy with Antonella. She's the best person we could ask for! Knowledgeable, funny, friendly.....everythis she did was magic! To recommend her is mandatory!!! Thank you for everything!

I went to Italy to play basketball in the World Masters Games in August 2013 with great expectations. The organising of the basketball programme was a complete disaster and after a terrible week all I wanted to do was to get out of the place. I had booked on a bus tour of Tuscany with 15 other basketball friends and was even contemplating not going. Then I met Antonella our tour director. What a breathe of fresh air. The bus was on time and loaded in a flash and we were on our way . From the very beginning everything was so well organised and Antonella's professionalism.and sense of humour made the week go too quickly. She was so dedicated that I am not surprised that Antonella is rated as number 1 of 51. I have recommended Antonella to so many people since I have returned where as straight after the games I wold have told people to give Italy a miss. Bryan Hennig.

My boyfriend Ben took me to Rome last year as a birthday present which in itself was a wonderful treat....But while there he'd also arranged some special surprises - one of which was a private guided walking tour of Rome on the Saturday. We'd gone in September so the weather Gods smiled on us and it was azure blue skies and sunshiney hot all day. I was mid way through a hissy fit outside the train station when we met Antonella because I couldn't understand why Ben was making me stand and wait when I wanted to get inside the Colluseum!! I then found out, it was because we were waiting for Antonella and on arrival she was the epitome of casual Italian glamour and incredibly warm, kind and welcoming - an excellent start :-) Antonella's passion and enthusiasm for Rome and her country is quite simply breath taking and she draws you right in to her heart and to the soul of Rome which is something money just cannot buy. Her knowledge of Rome is astounding and she takes you to the most secret and interesting places you could never find on your own. I was worried about having to map read and us having to navigate all around Rome and ALL the stress and hassle of that was vanished as we followed Antonella around her home town and listened intently to her stories and facts. Lunchtime was more like breaking bread with an old childhood friend and we shared plates of delicious food and talked like we'd known each other for decades. I cannot thank Ben enough for booking Antonella - it was a total diamond day and one I will never forget. I cannot thank Antonella enough for her amazing service, professionalism, dedication, customer service, knowledge, skill, humour and for encouraging us to be "romantic" ;-) She also was very understanding and gentle when I burst into tears on rounding the corner and seeing the Trevi fountain for the first time and for fulfilling a childhood dream. I was overcome with emotion and happiness and rather than making me feel like a fool she said it made her feel even more proud to be from such a wonderful city :-) Please DO NOT leave Rome without spending time with Antonella. Ciao, Louisa xx

Throughout my visit to Italy,I had the pleasure of being accompanied by Antonella as our guide,she made it one of the best vacations I had.She handled all the group with high professionalism and a added a taste of fun to it too,we became good friends afterwords and still in touch,I highly recommend her for all my friends who want to visit Italy.

I highly suggest Antonella Palma as a tour guide! She was lots of fun, down to earth, and a very knowledgeable person. She will surely go out of her way to make your trip experience the best it can be.
