Testimonials

My work has been highly rated by organizations such as National Geographic Television or VIP customers like Hollywood Star Andy McDowell during private guided excursions in extreme places like the active Volcano Stromboli in Sicily.

Ciao Luca, Volevamo ringraziarti ancora per tutto quello che ci hai trasmesso su un paese stupendo come la Nuova Zelanda. Crediamo che metà del merito della buona riuscita della nostra vacanza sia sicuramente dovuto alla tua professionalità e al tuo entusiasmo che ha reso il nostro soggiorno indimenticabile. La vacanza in Nuova Zelanda è stata la più bella della nostra vita e ci ha toccato veramente nel profondo. Appena tornati in Italia, avremmo voluto fare retro-front! Ma speriamo che un giorno, si possa davvero ritornare e magari durante l'estate Neozelandese......!!!

Bonjour LUCA! un petit coucou du nord de la France. Votre humour,votre gentillesse,votre sympathie,votre professionnalisme et votre disponibilité nous ont permis de faire un voyage exceptionnel. Nous ne vous oublierons jamais!!!

Jeanne et Philippe B. (France)

Lieber Luca, mit ein paar Fotos wollen wir noch einmal Danken – ganz besonders auch die gelungen Aufnahmen erinnern uns an die schönen Tage. Ich bin immer noch voller Begeisterung - es ist einfach ein Land zum Verweilen – Vielleicht war es nur deshalb so easy für uns, weil wir einen so perfekten Begleiter hatten und und und….

Estimado Luca: Quiero felicitarte por tu profesionalidad, saber hacer, paciencia, y conocimientos. Muchas gracias por todas tus atenciones. No creo que sea probable pero me encantaría volver a verte. Si vinieras por España y te acercaras a Gijón, con mucho gusto te invitaría a una buena Fabada y a beber sidra. Un fuerte abrazo.

José Ramón Y.(Spain)

Dear Luca If you have been half as devoted to your other clients as you have been to me and my family, you deserve a giant celebration of a year of hard work.

We drank, ate, hiked, boated, bungeed, rafted , mudded, hung from high buildings and sailed. All in all a good time was had by all. Thank you!!!

You were not only a brilliant guide in our first days in NZ, but also a source of many ideas and
precious information that were vital throughout our trip.

Lucia and Vladimir K. - Bulgaria/Belgium

Oi Luca.A esta hora estará com novo grupo mostrando esse país maravilhoso que nós tanto gostamos.Dificilmente esquecerei a cultura Maori, o museu de Aukland as caves e o gusano luminoso isto só para lembrar algumas coisas.Não sei se receberá meu mail ou se terá tempo para me dizer se recebeu, certamente recebe muitos mails de todo o mundo.E provavelmente torna-se difícil responder a todos.O que eu quero mesmo é agradecer o cuidado com o meu saco, que quando soube que tinha andado perdido, já o tinha comigo.Bem haja pelo seu profissionalismo e simpatia.Desejo-lhe as melhores felicidades.

Nous venons tout juste de rentrer sur Genève après deux très belles semaines passées en NZ. Tout s'est bien passé sans problème et nous avons bien profité de ce magnifique pays et comme je le craignais deux semaines n'y suffisent pas. Sur le guide Luca: il est vraiment très très bien. Il a certainement aidé au succès de ce voyage. Il est à la fois disponible, astucieux, plein de ressources, toujours à proposer des activités, visites ou petits crochets qui valent le détour; et bien qu'étranger, il adore ce pays et cela se sent tout de suite, il connait très bien sa culture, sa faune, son histoire. Un guide à recommander....

Michel P. - Switzerland

... Sono qui per ringraziarti, per averci fatto conoscere la Nuova Zelanda, non come turisti da villaggio vacanze, ma facendocela apprezzare a 360°....
