Mariano

You took me and my family on a beautiful tour of the Amalfi Coast back in 2012. I'm coming back next year I'm wondering if you or anyone in your family is still doing the tours we are coming in on a cruise for the day

You were amazing and not trip with you was one in a lifetime

Ciao Mariano,
You are the best. You are not a guide you are family. Thank you for organizing our transfers, tours and your excellent Hotel recommendation in Rome. Our family enjoyed every minute of our time with you, Rosario, Gianni and Angelo. As you know this was Rose and Andrew's first visit to Italy and because of you and your Team they had a fabulous time. They can't wait to go back. It is not easy to keep 3 generations aged 4 to 68, engaged and entertained but you knocked it out of the park! See you again soon.....

Hello Mariano and Rosario,

I want you to know how happy we are with your services. The two of you could not be more friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The Amalfi Coast tour was off the charts great. Pompeii ruins and country side wine tasting tours were fabulous. Wonderful adventures in Rome, SAN Giovanni, and Sorrento and back to Rome. Saying goodbye at the airport felt like saying goodbye to family. Grazie for all you did for us four ladies.

Best Regards,

Elaine Murray

We absolutely loved spending the day with Mariano and Rosario. We would have never been about to see the Amalfi Coast without them. Their hospitality and knowledge of the entire coast was incredible. We loved seeing the tourists spots but best of all were the more local places that most tours don’t offer. We will definitely be going back to take more tours with Pleasant travel. Thank you guys for everything 🇮🇹❤️

I am an American and traveled to Italy for the first time in April 2026. A friend recommended me to Mariano and his son, Rosario. We could not have been more happy with the service and attention detail we received from them. They picked us up at the Naples airport and took us to Sorrento, we hired them for a day trip to Rome and then transported us back to Naples. Very responsive and helpful. One morning they dropped us off at the port in Sorrento to travel to Ischia. Our ferry was cancelled. I called them in a panic and Rosario returned immediately, picked us up and drove us to Naples to catch another ferry. TOP QUALITY! GREAT PEOPLE! GREAT FAMILY!

Dear Mariano and Rosario,
Thank you for a wonderful week! We have traveled with you several times and each time is a wonderful experience. This time we traveled with our two oldest grandchildren. You showed us some beautiful country and amazing museums. You planned the perfect trip for us.

It was a pleasure to spend time with you and Rosario. We look forward to seeing you again. Grazi mil.

Best regards,

We truly enjoyed Mariano and Rosario on our tour. Both were friendly, informative and gracious to the maximum. If we were going to pick a tour and guides again, it would positively be these two men. The area was lovely and the stops along the way and back were fantastic. The Amalfi Coast cities are beautiful. Thank you Mariano and Rosario for your help and we wish you all the best.

Daniel Vanderpool and family

What a wonderful time! Our group of eight friends were entertained during every aspect of our trip. We were promptly picked up for our excursions. Even a simple ride from Rome to Sorrento was enjoyable. The Amalfi Coast Day Trip was magical, informative and entertaining. Rosario and Mariano shared the love and knowledge of their country. We used them for 2 other trips- one to Lucca and another to Rome.
Riding along with a narrative, and viewing the beauty of Italy, it was an experience never to be forgotten. We highly recommend Pleasant Travel. Thank you for a professional experience that made us feel like family.

Ciao Mariano and Rosario,

Thank you so much for the wonderful private tour you gave us of the Amalfi coast while we were visiting Sorrento last week. The tour was one of the high lights of our trip. You were highly recommended by one of our friends, and now we can see why. We would definitely use your services if we are in Italy again.

Thanks, Rima and Guy

Once again, thank you so much for all you did for us and our friends and for the very enjoyable trip to Naples and the Amalfi excursion.

It was indeed wonderful to see you again.

We enjoyed meeting and being with Rosario. He is a wonderful person that you can be very proud of. Please tell him that if he ever comes to USA, he is most welcome to stay at our house and that we will show him the sights.

Stay well, my friend and may God bless you and your family.

My family and I traveled to Italy and Greece for the first time, and spent the day with Mariano and his son Rosario on Saturday while our cruise was in port in Naples.
Mariano customized a plan of places to visit based on our specific interests. His love for his country was evident in all that he shared with us about this beautiful part of Italy. He knew the area so well, diverting us from heavy crowds and designed an experience that was simply unforgettable.
From the breathtaking views in Scala, and Revello, to the brilliant turquoise waters of Amalfi and Minori we delighted in all that we experienced! After a few hours snorkeling at the beach in Maiori, we stopped for a delicious authentic Italian meal at La Playa. We topped the day off with a drive past Sorrento and headed back to Naples to catch our ship.
Mariano and Rosario, we are grateful to you for sharing your beautiful country with us. We will undoubtedly be back for an extended stay to Amalfi!
Più Sinceramente,

Estimado Mariano!
Una experiencia espectacular. Sin duda la mejor forma de visitar la costa amalfitana
Nos ha buscado el guía con el chofer en la furgoneta exclusiva para nosotros. Nos han recogido a las 8 am en la puerta de nuestro hotel y empezamos el viaje
Hemos podido visitar sorrento, amalfi y positano. El chofer nos dejaba con la guía una hora en cada pueblo. A la hora pasaba a buscarnos
Tuvo además la amabilidad de reservarnos para comer en un restaurante magnífico con una mesa con vistas magníficas
De las mejores experiencias que he tenido en un viaje nunca. El nombre “pleasant” les rinde honor. Quiero repetir!

Mariano, My friend Valerie and I enjoyed your service as much as Jim and I enjoyed you in 2017 . We loved being able to stop by the fruit stand on the way to Positano for photos. I have recommended you to friends in Massachusetts and they were also very pleased . It was so nice to meet Rosario . He is the same age as my son and is such a wonderful young man. I am not sure if I will be able to return to Sorrento , but if I do , I will contact you again . Many thanks, June and Valerie

Mariano and his crew are the most professional, friendly and well versed touring company I have had the pleasure of using. The effort given and courtesy for all our requests is amazing. We are always met by a friendly smile and courteous assistance. I look forward to me next trip to Italy especially knowing Pleasant travel will be there to great and help us.

Ciao my friends.

Lily sends a special warm greeting to Priscilla. We highly recommend her outstanding services. God bless you all see you soon if he allows it. Lily and Humbe.

Ciao Mariano,

We are home now and missing your beautiful country. The private tour we took with you from Naples along the Amalfi coast was amazing; the views were breathtaking. It was a pleasure spending the day with you. Your hospitality and knowledge of the area was a definite bonus.

Next time we are in Naples we will contact you for another tour.

Until we meet again.

Ciao Mariano! Thank you for showing us around the Amalfi Coast area once again. Our friends and family really enjoyed our days with you. You have not lost the passion and the warmth that we've felt when we first met you about 6 years ago. Our stay in Southern Italy will never be complete if we don't spend time with you. We look forward to our picnic in your farm the next time we visit your area.
Thank you once again and hope to see you soon.

I began my international travels in 2007. After 14 years and a variety of tour guides, no one has even come close to the top notch service that we received from Mariano.

When he says, “I have a friend” be ready for a nice surprise.

He is professional, flexible, and customizes your tour experience. I highly recommend his services and would book him again.

Tricee Cornett

We met Mariano in 2003. We were on a tour with GCT, our tour guide hired him for the day to drive us to my husband’s family home town. We have since then traveled to Italy twice, have hired Mariano for several outings. He is wonderful, has great knowledge of his country, speaks clear English and so easy to like. He has a very gracious wife and two great boys. I don’t know why it has taken so long to comment on his page! I recommend Mariano for any outing, transfer etc.
Mariano, his family, I am proud to say have become our friends as well as travel chauffeur.
Thank you Mariano for making our trips to Italy enjoyable.

Ciao Mariano!


I’m so overdue in sending you this, so please forgive me. I just want to thank you so much for the beautiful time you showed me and my family while we were in Italy! We cannot thank you enough for your patience, kindness and the sincere hospitality you showed us.


Your knowledge of the area is extraordinary, and we enjoyed so much hearing your stories and explanations about all the places you took us. We all looked forward to seeing you when we had a tour or transportation scheduled with you. You started out as our guide but quickly became a part of the family. This was a trip of a lifetime for us all, and we will never forget you and the joy you added to it.


I truly hope to return to Italy with my family and get to see you again!


My family and I wish you much love, health and happiness always!

Hi Mariano!

My name is Yuko Godfrey, and you have picked me and my 2 friends up from Palazzo delle Grazie on the 14thOctober to take us to the Naples via Amalfi coast.
I just wanted to say thank you again for the wonderful experience you provided.
Your suggestion for continuing coastline drive to Salerno and stopping by a family local Restaurant for the lunch was wonderful. Please extend our appreciation to your chef friend Massimo!
And now I know how good you are, I will definitely contact you next time I’m heading back to Sorrento/Naples!
Thank you again and have a nice weekend.

Kind Regards.

This is a huge thank you so much for such a wonderful, informative day today. We learned so much about the Amalfi coast, the history and the endeavors of its people. And you both were so very kind and accommodating.
We just want to mention a restaurant we had dinner at tonight called Taverna Buonvicino. It was really special. I think it’s a place you can highly recommend to your clientele.
Molti grazie to all,
Derin and Paul G.

Mariano:
Many thanks to you and Rosario for making our family trip to southern Italy so wonderful. You always provide fantastic service and my family appreciated it so much. They love how knowledgeable you are about the region and all the history that you know. It made the trip extra special. Thanks for your help suggesting hotels and we especially loved the cooking class and the buffalo mozzarella farm.
My family thinks of you and your family now as part of our Italian family.
