Alex Paolini was warm, friendly and very accommodating! He made us feel like old friends from the moment he picked us up. The tour was delightful!
Alex Paolini was an outstanding driver on this trip from Rome to Assisi! He shared a lot of things about the Umbria region on our drive out and gave us good information about the four churches we visited in Assisi. His lunch recommendation was superb when he dropped us in the square for the last two hours of shopping and eating before our return trip back to Rome. Our time spent with him was well worth it!
This was a wonderful experience. We saw so many amazing things! Views, churches, cities and shops This “pilmagrage” to Assisi is a must do. Our driver, Alex Paolini, was kind and knowledgeable. As a local, he shared many stories about the area. His lunch recommendation provided one of the best meals we have had in Italy. He made us feel safe and comfortable at all times.
