We booked Rome, Naples, and Florence. All three days were great! Our guides;Salvatoe (Naples) Rebecca At Pompeii , Amelio( Rome) and Johnny (Florence) were so knowledgeable it amazed us. Salvatore went out of his way to find us local olive oil and lemoncello. Amelio got us to every possible site in Rome that one could possibly do in one day! Johnny in Florence found us the best gelato in the city. We loved the personalities of the drivers and found a true glimpse into the cities they represented.
I learned a few tips that may be helpful for others:
1. In Naples see Pompeii as early as possible, skip Sorrento, and go straight to Positano on the Amalfi Coast. This was our favorite spot and the food/wine excellent.
2. Rome - Females can't have shoulders showing (tank top) for the Vatican or wear shorts into the Basilica. This was disappointing in that I could not see the Basilica.
Florence - If you want to see the statue of David you need tickets in advance for the museum. We were unaware and the lines were too long for tickets.
The guides were fun, knowledgeable and excellent historians. I would highly recommend this company.

We've been to Rome three times and luckily we had the people at this family business help us. SinceRome is one of our favorite cities in the world, it's great to have Roberto and Karen show us all the great places. Thanks guys. Until the next time!

We just returned from a 7 night Mediterranean with ports in Naples, Civitavecchia, (Rome), and Livorno (Florence) Italy. We felt the cruise ship excursions were extremely expensive for what they gave you and decided to use Miles and Miles for our family of 5 in each port. Nothing is better than a private tour and this company exceeded our expectations in every way taking us to places the tour buses could not have. We had an unbelievable experience.

Sergio in Naples drove us to Pompeii where we met our guide Franco who spent a couple of hours with us in the ruins of Pompeii. He was extremely knowledgeable and spoke very good English. We traveled on to Positano on the winding and breathtaking views of the Amalfi Coast. We even ate at a delicious restaurant in Amalfi on a cliff overlooking the water...a bus would never bring you here. The buses are not allowed on these roads. There was even time to have a picture taken with the mama in the kitchen. We drove to Sorrento known for the Limoncello drink and a great place to shop. We never saw lemons that big.

In Rome we met our guide Luca who did an outstanding job of driving us around Rome, and the Vatican City. We saw everything and had the most delicious pizza lunch to satisfy our appetites. Miles and Miles uses newer (less than 3 years old) Mercedes Vans that can hold 7 people but to be honest our family of 5 was comfortable and thought another person would have been too much. I understand they have bigger vans for 8 or more.

In Livorno we enjoyed Andreas as our tour guide. He was had more energy than a case of Red Bull. He engaged our children non-stop and no one had time for a nap on his tour. We traveled to Pisa and Florence. We had the best Gelato in the World...and trust me...it was! We had a scenic drive in Tuscany and saw the vineyards. Ate at a family restaurant off the beaten path.

Italy is a beautiful country. Miles and Miles gave us 10 hours a day of memories and smiles we will treasure forever. They don't take VISA...so you must carry either Travellers checks or Euros with you. I would use this company again and highly recommend them to anyone. They have been in business for 25 years and the guides we had have been with them at least 15 years. We made it back to the ship without any worries. It was worth every Euro!

This review can be fourteen pages of raving about every detail...but let me save you some trouble....just book a day or two with them. I (mom) traveled w/ two teens who loved the experience. This organization and it's employees are clearly a 10 of 10 across the board. Skip the regular touristy stuff - and just tell them to "take me to places you want visitors to see" (especially the out skirts of the city). One of our best days in Italy. Aside from the history and knowledge - Francesco reads his audience well - not to mention charming (as is Noimi - his sister that does the Vatican tours). We did a "take us around day" and than Vatican and Pompei. Sure a little more money than you may want to spend - but the convenience and comfort made the time so incredibly enjoyable.

Again, do the "regular" stuff on your own (trevi fountain, spanish steps, etc.)....let them show you what Rome is all about and know you will not be disappointed. Sure a little more money than you may want to spend - but the convenience and comfort made the time so incredibly enjoyable.

Thanks Francesco - for everything.
