    Flavio was our Tour Leader and he is an excellent Tour Leader. His energy and enthusiasm during our tour brought Puglia alive. He was always available and no issue ever phased him. If there was an issue he dealt with it in a very calm and professional manner to everyone’s satisfaction- a true diplomat. He is an excellent ambassador for Back Roads Tours and when I go back to Italy I will certainly try to ensure he is our Tour Leader. He really did go above and beyond to make our tour truly memorable.

    This tour was so well organised and was a well balanced programme of visiting historic sites and otherwise hidden places. The tour leader, Flavio, made sure that everyone was taken into consideration and he talked to us about cultural and conversational dos and don’ts in Italy. He was caring, intelligent and humorous. I always felt included on this tour.
