From Summer '07 at the end of any Tour , a precious gift for you ..one bottle of Chianti !!!Who will be driving you ?
English Speaking Driver (ESD)Our English Speaking Drivers (ESD) are all very experienced and used to hosting foreign tourists. ALL are extremely familiar with the sights you will undoubtedly want to visit. If through your pre-cruise research you have made a list of "must-sees" for any given port, our ESD’s will gladly take you wherever you may want to go. If by chance, however, you did not have the time or inclination to "do your homework" before travelling, our drivers will design an itinerary that includes all the highlights. The ESD’s will offer only very basic information about the sights you will see. Our ESD’s speak English, but perhaps not at the level of a Driver Guide (see next).
Driver Guide (DG)
Our Driver Guides (DG) are fully qualified tour guides and are licensed to drive limousine service vehicles as well. While ESD's are fairly common in most ports of call, DG's are extremely rare. The difference between an ESD and a DG is the depth of intellect and knowledge. DG’s are professionally trained to ensure that get out of your excursion whatever you are looking for in the way of local color, culture, fun, historical sights and museums, landscapes and views, restaurants, etc. The amount of information provided by a DG will be more thorough and personalized to your particular interests than that offered by an ESD. However, in many European cities, a DG may not be allowed to guide tours through major churches and museum where such explanations are restricted to City Guides (see next).
City Guide (CG)
City Guides are those who are specialized and licensed to guide in one specific city or limited area. Local culture, history and traditions are so different from area to area—even from city to city—that no single guide can possibly become highly knowledgeable about a whole country or region. Therefore many local governments, especially in Europe, have chosen to assure the integrity of the local culture by licensing only those guides who have had a formal education and have proved to be knowledgeable and qualified to represent their area or city. Tours conducted by City Guides are often intense and detailed.
