The comments below are by people who came to Le Marche on tour, and with whom I shared some time in this beautiful region. I really thank everybody for their appreciation.

We just wanted to thank you again for creating such a wonderful experience for our visit to Le Marche. The 2 days we spent with you in Le Marche were the highlight of our 9 day trip to Italy. The area is so beautiful with the views from the hill towns over the mountains and the sea. You did a great job introducing us to the history, food, and wine of the area and preparing our daughter for her stay in Camerano. I think she will not want to come home after living there for 5 weeks! While we thoroughly enjoyed everything, a few things that stand out were the lamb chops (best we ever had) and Duchi Palace in Urbino, the sunset at the castle in Offagna, the wine tastings and, of course, the dinners at your charming family's home and at Opera Nova Della Marca were both excellent and unique. My only wish is that we could have stayed longer-I guess we will have to return some day...
Best wishes to you & your family

[...]Send our regards to your family. We're still talking about the wonderful meal your parents provided. My husband Eddie was very sad to miss that.[...]

Thank you for making our two days together so pleasant. Your local knowledge and easy going professionalism made it all very worthwhile and set the tone for the rest of our stay. We really enjoyed seeing the various town, cathedrals (Loreto stands out in my memory) etc. with you. Your in depth knowledge added much to each stop & event (Vineyard, Olive oil producer). A special memory was the lunch with your family. Your Mom was so gracious and the lunch very good. Eating out was never a problem as you always seemed to know of another interesting place that was convenient to our itinerary.
I could recommend your services to anyone who needs to have a special itinerary designed or who would leave it in your capable hands.
Good luck for the years to come. You will succeed based on our experience of your personalised approach and abilities.
Keep well.

First and foremost....thank you so much for making my stay in Ancona so very special.
You are the perfect guide. Very relaxed, charming, with a great sense of humour.
Also, I felt very honoured to be invited to dine with your lovely family. Do give them my best wishes, plus a big kiss to the superb cook, Leticia.

Caro Angelo, I am still thinking about our day last Saturday. I cannot thank you enough for your time, the use of your car, the WONDERFUL lunch at your parents' house, the introduction to my new favorite restaurant, your ospitality, your patience, your kindness, and your friendship! It was truly a beautiful day and I enjoyed my time with you very much. Thank for opening your heart and your home to me. I am really looking forward to spending time with you again!

We loved your parents and enjoyed cooking and having dinner with them as the highlight of the tour. They are wonderful. We felt like old friends immediately and the seafood was fabulous. They should come to visit us in Boston. The tour was excellent: the final dinner restaurant was outstanding. I loved all the little towns, the food, cooking, you, the families with which we had dinners, the winery, the seaside, the walled cities, everything was wonderful.

Dear Angelo:
Thanks, both to you for showing us such a good time in Le Marche, but also to your family, for such a warm welcome and delicious dinner at your home.

Angelo
Your region, Le Marche, is spectacular! The surprise was the beautiful and varied scenery of seacoast, mountains and countryside. The food is delicious-especially the fish and seafood and the wines are superb! And anyone who wants to see Le Marche, should see it with you as their guide. You are so enthusiastic, knowledgeable and as a native of the area, you know the history including the scandalous-but humorous- details of the region. This was a very special tour. Many Thanks!

We hope to get back to the Marche at some point. It was a wonderful visit.

"Tu sei stato eccezionale in assoluto perchè con la tua sensibilità e la tua comunicativa hai recepito in breve l'atmosfera del gruppo che avevi davanti e rapidamente ti abbiamo sentito come un componente del gruppo, non come un occasionale guida: mi auguro vivamente che tu possa svolgere il lavoro di guida o di operatore turistico, è il tuo lavoro e lo sapresti fare egregiamente"
