"I received an email just a couple of weeks ago from a lady who attends my classes, who had just returned from a magical trip organized and led by Cora and Lucia."

"[...] It’s been several years ago that my wife and I toured with you in Florence and Tuscany (See photo below of XXXX and you in Florence). We are planning a return trip to our favorite destination and we are hoping we can secure your services again, only this time we’re bringing some friends! We are aware of your company Exclusive Connection and wondered if you still do tours personally, or is it mostly your employees doing the touring? Also, can you offer tours in Rome, and in the Naples/Amalfi coast region? Also, I’m assuming you can help with transportation for the touring as well where it may be needed (along the Amalfi coast for instance)? We look forward to hearing from you and very much look forward to seeing you again. We so much enjoyed our time with you when we were there."

"I visited Florence with my family 13 years ago and you were our tour guide, and we had such a fantastic experience! Now back with my girlfriend who has not seen the highlights."

"Hi Cora, my name is XXXX and I was fortunate enough to be guided through parts of Florence by Lucia last June. I am returning with my daughter in January and we would like to book her for Saturday, January 25."

"I'd heard about you from my best friend who said your tours were life-changing. My wife and I would like to do tours of Florence with you in 2024."

"Lucia, I woke to your wonderful art history offerings. What wonderful memories we have of our time with you in Florence. Thank you so much for sharing your art history lessons with me. I will enjoy them so much. The self-portraits look amazing!! Oh, how I would love to see them in person. I will watch your videos and enjoy every moment. I am attaching some photos of our memories with you. I have sung your praises to all my friends upon returning from Europe."

"Wow! What an incredible morning! The early access allowed time to absorb more of the details and less of the distractions. The refreshing walk through of the major works, the schools and the influences was very much appreciated. But, the new works and the new rooms were a special surprise. In Firenze, there is always art, history and culture to explore. You only need to take the time and pay a little attention. We truly look forward to our next visit and another opportunity to share your knowledge and passion!"

"Good morning Cora. Actually good evening to you. I hope you enjoyed your day. I want to thank you for helping me plan our trip. It all turned out beautifully. I tend to get overwhelmed with details. You kept it very simple, gave me great suggestions, and handled all the details.. You kept it all very simple which I appreciate. We loved our day trip. The driver was friendly, the lunch setting was so beautiful, Pienza was the perfect little spot to visit. Simona was a wonderful guide. She easily got us in to the Accademia to see David. She worked with my schedule. I got tired very easily, she would make sure we saw the most important sites/art during a short period of time. I can’t thank you enough. We have friends visiting Florence in September and I’ll give them your information. Hopefully we’ll return again. There is so much more we want to see, and of course we’ll reach out to you. Thank you again. Take care."
