I am a U.S. Travel Agent and recently contacted Italy Limousine through a referral by a co-worker. She had wonderful things to say regarding her experience previously booking with them. I too highly agree as the prices were very reasonable and Josephine was wonderful and made the booking simple.
My clients (a family of 6 with 4 children) had a wonderful time during their tour of Rome. The guide was fantastic and the auto was clean. My client was pleased with the safety of the auto as well for the children while touring.

I will continue my partnership with Italy Limousine for years to come.

We wanted to thank Josephine for arranging our favorite day in Italy in November. She was most patient in dealing with my various questions and trepidation in dealing with overseas arrangements.
Our 2 drivers Mario and Amelio met us from our cruise ship in Naples and catered to our every request. They were both very professional and offered suggestions when needed and helpful tips. They were really fantastic and I would highly recommend them for all your transportation needs. We will definitely be using them the next time we're in Italy.
Thank you so much for making our vacation easy and enjoyable.
