“Caro Carlo,
There are not enough words to express how wonderful the vacation that you arranged for us turned out. It was not a small task to get 24 people together and organized in the first place. With your help, the chauffer and driver we had could not have been any better. The chauffer Salvatore was not only knowledgeable about the history of his island, but exhibited extraordinary people skills so that 24 different personalities had a great vacation. That is something I will never forget. He showed us with pride of his culture what it is to be a Sicilian.
Our accommodations on the bus was great. He ended up bringing the larger coach. It was new and clean and operated beautifully . The drivers name was Giuseppe. He joined us at our dinner table in the evenings. We had so much fun.
As you know, I was very nervous making arrangements with people that we did not know for our family group. Your arrangements have far exceeded our expectations in every way. I cannot find enough words to tell you how happy we are with the arrangements you made.
I am planning to put together a picture of the bus, guide, and driver and email it to you once we get everything organized.
I would highly recommend the Mendola family (guitano as well) as a way for travelers to Sicily to get a real feeling of what it is to be Sicilian.
I will be in touch in the future. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you for everything!!!
Fondly,
