WHAT DO THEY THINK ABOUT US?

Dear Ximena,
I just wanted to thank you so much for being our guide. We had such an amazing time and we feel that our trip was made perfect by having you there. We have told many friends in Tororno about you ... so don't be surprised if you get a call or email soon from someone over here.

Ximena,
Just wanted to send you a little note, letting you know how much Ron and I enjoyed our time in Rome. Having you as a tour guide made Rome very enjoyable. After leaving Rome, we spent time in Florence, Venice and Milan.
We had tours in every city we went to but nothing compared to the tour you gave us. Thank you so much for making our vacation a most memorable experience.
Please use us a reference anytime!
Thanks again.

Dear Ximena,
We arrived home on June 20 from Rome.
Good 10 day cruise, enjoyed Lucca/Pisa, Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Malta and Naples. Tunisia and Palermo were just OK. But none compared with our 3 days in Rome. Having you show us around was the highlight of our two week trip. You really knew how to balance the different interests that Jean and I have along with slowing things down for her ailing back. . How about that Italian World Cup victory? They are still celebrating at an Italian restaurant near our office. Ximena, if you get to Virginia, I hope you will let us know. We could be your guide. Take care and thank you for showing us around your beautiful city.
Best Regards, Jean and Cary.

Dear Ximena
We all feel very fortunate that you were our guide. Your professionalism, knowledge and thoughtful, warm delivery came through continously and we are very appreciative. Thank you. We will always have fond memories of our tours of ancient Rome and Vatican City.
We wanted to express our appreciation for the tour you conducted. Your knowledge and your patience made the tour memorable for us all.
We had other tour guides in other areas and you should know that you were the best.
I wish you all the very best,

Ximena,
I want to thank you again for the GREAT tour you gave on Friday. All of the ladies, and I, enjoyed it very much. My wife's parents are visiting in December and I plan on giving you a call then to arrange for another tour.
Thanks again, Joe.

My husband and I returned in May from a spectacular Tauck tour of Rome and the Amalfi Coast.
However, I would like to call a particular Rome tour guide to your attention. Because my husband and I stayed on in Rome for a few more days, our local travel agency (Holiday Travel) arranged a local guide for us. She was above and beyond in all aspects---well educated, (an architect) informative, interesting, professional, personal, humorous and very beautiful! We both wished that she had been our Vatican guide. Knowing that Tauck provides the very best, we decided to pass on her name. It is Ximena Amarales.

Dearest Ximena,
I hope this note finds you well and that your client bookings are solid for the next six months so that you can plan your visit back to the States realsoon. You are such a fantastic guide and storyteller. We so enjoyed you and your presentation style. We said all week how fortunate it was that we were assigned to you. I especially loved how all the mens' heads turned as you strolled by; you're such a Fox! as we say here.Warmest regards and have a relaxing evening.

Dear Ximena,
I received your contact information from Carol Jones one of my partners at Kasian Architects who you gave a guided tour of Rome to a couple of weeks ago.
I am wondering if you would be available to give the same tour of Rome in the afternoon of Saturday, June 17th? Look forward to hearing from you.
Regards, Malcolm.
