"I just received and viewed the "Discover Italy" DVD. It was wonderful and brought back such
fond memories from our Northern Classic Tour in 2001. I long to return to Italy and felt like I
had returned with my very special tour group. Seeing Diego made me cry with happiness. He was
such a delight and terrific tour guide who introduced us to the ways and customs of your beautiful
country. I just wanted to jump up and hug Diego when he appeared in the video. We were all like
family and I don't know if Italy makes you feel this way, or, if the Perillo Tour and Diego make
this magic happen. I have experienced other tour companies and they cannot compare to the
attention, itinerary, meals and the caring people of Perillo. The memories of my Perillo Tour
are forever etched in my mind and always make my heart smile. I look forward to joining another
Perillo Tour group and living like an Italian for a few weeks. "Dear Steve, "I am happy to report that we thoroughly enjoyed everything, particularly
the professional and attentive service accorded us by tour guide Franco
in Rome and Antonio in Florence. I arrange golf tours in the states and
I know the effort these gentlemen expended making our trip a great success." "Perillo's Hawaii was our best vacation yet, made even better by our tour
guide, Burt, who did everything and anything to satisfy us. He made the
trip worthwhile. Another Perillo trip is certainly in our future plans." "Enzo our guide was extremely knowledgeable with all the historical
sites and supplied a lot of interesting commentary. At each site we had
another guide who was an authority for that site... we also had a great
night at the restaurant Falciani outside of Florence. A fantastic Italian
singer sang the old Italian standards, as well as a lot of contemporary
songs and at the end of the evening, he had us all singing God Bless America.
Our trip was even more enjoyable because of the fine restaurants and hotels.
We never had to handle our baggage once we checked it in at Kennedy Airport.
We always found it in our rooms when we arrived and it was always taken
from our rooms to the bus when we left each hotel." "We are writing to compliment your company on our fine tour and in particular
to compliment our tour guide, Franco. We enjoyed our tour very much and
found Perillo's accommodations to be excellent." - The N.V. Family, Golden
Valley, MN "My wife and I, along with another couple, took your Italy
tour. It was outstanding in every respect!" "My daughter and I took your tour to Northern Italy. What a trip! I
am still in awe over all we saw and did, you have got to have the best
tours out there!" "My husband and I were very fortunate to have taken your North Classic
Tour. We were very pleased with both the tour and especially our tour
director, Antonio. His knowledge of every city visited and the surrounding
areas was first rate." "Mario & Steve - Two years ago, on our 40th anniversary, we took one
of your 14 Day Italy North Classics. We had a magnificent time, it really
could not have been more perfect. We would not go any other way after
our experience with your family and how you conduct your business." "Your Italy North Classic Tour proved to be everything we hoped for.
The accommodations were excellent. The two banquets held at the Villa
Brancaccio and the Villa Casteletti and the Tuscany dinner served at Pietre
Cavate were exceptional. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed all of the meals
provided." "Right from the moment 'Bert' met us at the airport, we knew this would
be a great trip. He is so genial, so efficient, always good humored and
always in sure control of the group. His light, yet highly responsible
touch, made everyone feel that this was truly a 'family' for the length
of the tour." "My husband and I took the Classic Italy North tour. We were very pleased
with all aspects. I must tell you how much we enjoyed our tour guide Paolo.
He is indeed one of Italy's treasures. He is very knowledgeable, very
competent and has a delightful sense of humor." "Thank you and your staff for a beautiful tour of Italy. We were a group
of 8 people who took the 14 Day Italy North Classic Tour. Your staff arranged
things so that all of our group were on the same floor at the same hotels
and together for all meals. We appreciate your extra effort to make our
trip pleasant and memorable." "I came to Hawaii as a sailor in 1959. Over my six year enlistment I
visited the islands several times. I was very bitter about the whole experience.
40 years later I returned with a chip on my shoulder. The very moment
we landed on the Island of Oahu we were gathered into the fold of Perillo
and loved and coddled as we were introduced to each new experience. All
doubts and anxieties were swept away, obstacles caved to the side and
the exotic mysteries gracefully unfolded, explained, then lovingly painted
upon our hearts forever. No need or want was unheeded. Our desires were
patiently coaxed from the secret caches of our hearts and fulfilled beyond
our expectations. We were sent from the islands laden heavily with gifts
we will have forever - the most precious gift one can give - a gift you
can take with you. From the both of us - Thank you." "The trip was outstanding!!! I would highly recommend it to anyone." "We recently had the pleasure of embarking on a 14 day Italy tour with
your company. It was enchanting! Firstly, our driver Franco was absolutely
wonderful. Secondly, our tour guide, Diego was enchanting. His sense of
humor and caring are not to be denied. His knowledge and enthusiasm of
the places we visited only added to the joy of the tour. Thank you, Mr.
Perillo, for a job well done!" "We could have chosen a similar Perillo Tour that included dinners,
but wanted to have the adventure of sampling the food at local restaurants
on our own. Our extremely professional tour manager, Sandra, regularly
gave us suggestions about finding inexpensive places to eat that were
within easy walking distance from the hotels. The itinerary was very well
planned as you would expect from a company that has been in business for
over 50 years. Perillo certainly delivered on everything as stated. We
had a wonderful, carefree time and would not hesitate to recommend this
Perillo Tour." "My husband and I want you to know our recent trip to Italy on the Italy
North Classic Tour was an unforgettable experience. We enjoyed modern
and historic Italy and savored its many pleasures. We got to know our
fellow tourists from all over the United States and forged good friendships.
The superb scheduling allowed us to see the most famous, magnificent structures,
art and scenery in each of the 5 major cities we visited, yet left us
enough time to relax and be on our own. The tour surpassed all others
we have taken. Perillo made Italy a magic place for us." "The trip was much better then we ever thought it would be. The food,
hotels and the program of all the sightseeing was obviously planned very
carefully with total comfort and enjoyment directed at each and every
one of us. We thank you for a memorable trip and would highly recommend
you to all." "We had one of the best vacations we have ever had, if not the best.
Everything was wonderful, from the excellent service we were given, the
interesting and enjoyable itinerary, the beautiful and comfortable accommodations,
to the delicious food. All the positive comments we had heard about Perillo
Tours before our trip were certainly true. Keep up the great work!" "My husband, my sister, her husband and I went to Hawaii with Perillo
Tours. We would like you to know that our trip was perfect, except that
we did not want to leave at all to come home! We cannot say enough good
things about Larry, as well as Anthony and Joe. They all worked together
to assure us that our dream vacation came true. We have already recommended
your company to several people planning trips to Hawaii." "It was absolutely perfect and our tour director, Pino, made everything
work so smoothly and was always so helpful. The best part of the arrangement
was the time schedule so one had a free day between sightseeing days.
I would certainly recommend this tour to my friends." "My husband and I have recently returned from an awesome trip to Italy
with your company. It was a most successful trip, especially for us since
it was our first time to Italy. From the minute we were introduced to
the end of our stay and Nadia said good-bye to us, we were organized and
had fun. We also had a great combination of people with varying ages and
backgrounds all blending beautifully. Nadia was most incredible and excellent
tour director. We NEVER had to wait for admissions, lines, rooms or reservations.
She had everything calculated to perfection. She had a flair about her,
a pleasant personality and a marvelous sense of humor. Congratulations,
Mr. Perillo on a well-run organization and thank you for a wonderful trip
to remember for the rest of my life!" "From the moment we arrived in Venice to our departure in Rome, everything
was PERFECT. Words cannot express the wonderful time we had. All of your
employees went out of their way to give us a vacation we will never forget!!!" "Yes! The tour lived up to our expectations. In fact it went well beyond
that. Cathedrals, restaurants, tour guides, cities and people of Italy
as advertised were all you claimed it would be. Thank you for making this
trip exciting, interesting and memorable." "Perillo delivers much, much more that the ads could hope to include.
It was first class in every department - the hotels, the meals, the transportation,
the side trips, the tour guests and most of all - Virna - our tour guide.
She was the perfect person, a friend to all." "The Roman Palace where we spent our last night was out of this world.
The food was great and the orchestra fantastic! I danced the whole night,
all the different dances including the Macarena. It was the greatest trip
I have ever taken." "The accommodations were beautiful, the food and drink were abundant
and delicious. Obviously, we haven't a negative word for any portion of
this tour." "After talking to friends and examining what seemed like millions of
brochures, I selected Perillo Tours to give my parents a once in a lifetime
experience. My parents arrived home excited from the sights and sounds
of Paris, London, Rome and Florence. I would like a years supply of whatever
water my mother drank while abroad because she had high praise for every
single Perillo staff member involved with the tour. At every opportunity
I champion Perillo Tours!" "Our Perillo Tour to Hawaii was superb and very professionally guided
by Gill, Anthony and Joe. The tour met all of our expectations of what
a tour should be. As for my sister-in-law and niece, they were overwhelmed
by everything that was a part of the tour. They couldn't imagine anything
like this. There were a few tears when we departed for home." |
