Barbi and Lee, Cleveland OH
My Dear dear Rina, We just got home late last night. You WERE THE BEST!!! Non of the other tours compare to your knowledge and fun we had with you!!!!!!! The expense of the tour in Venice was the only reason why we did not go with your friend. PLEASE feel free to use my name for a reference at any time. Also, I WANT YOU TO CALL ME WHEN YOU COME TO CLEVELAND, please!!!!!!! I am so busy doing laundry and it is not easy being sleep deprived. I would love to stay in touch! Love, Barbi
Howard and Sue C, Lubbock TX
Dear Rina: My Italian is not good, but I did learn one new expression on our trip- “Non c’e`due senza tre” There can not be a second without a third After taking two tours with you as our guide, I am absolutely confident that there will be a third in the future. You introduced Sue and me to Tuscany in 2000, and we had dreamed since then that we could come back with our two sons and daughters-in-law and let you take us as a family across Tuscany and Umbria. Our trip in April was everything that we could have hoped for. Now, our entire family is in love with Italy, its countryside and cities, its history, its food and its people. We will always remember our last dinner at Lo Strettoio in the hills overlooking Florence. We have already started talking about our next trip to either the Italian Lake District or the southern part of the country. Rina, you really outdid yourself this trip. Your Mercedes mini-bus was ideal for the six of us. The hotels and restaurants that you selected were uniformly excellent. I want to specifically compliment the special guides that you arranged for us. Ricardo and Cindy was the ideal-Florentine-American couple to introduce us to the art and history of Florence. Marielena has an incredible passion for her city of Siena and its traditions such as the “Palio.” Maria Gloria made the life and work of St. Francis come alive as she guided our tour of Assisi. Professor Emilio did a marvelous job of presenting the art and architecture along with the history of Perugia in Umbria. We are going to recommend you to any of our friends who are planning a trip to Italy. I want you to feel free to use this letter as a reference to any families that are considering you as a guide. Any of your potential clients are welcome to contact us by phone or e-mail if they have any specific questions for us. Thanks again for putting together a wonderful family vacation for us. As far as we know, we do not have any relatives in Italy, but we have come to regard you as a member of our family. Good luck to you in all of your efforts, and we hope to see you again soon. With deep affection; Howard & Sue Cowan
Gary and Linda
Rina, Linda and I and the boys had a great time today! I would appreciate the itemized list of where we went today and the email of your Greek friend so we can see if he is available when we are in Athens….thank you again for everything and Linda is saying she can’t wait to come back! Gary
Bill and Frances, Shreveport LA
Rina and Scot, thank you for a wonderful time in Italy. It was great being with you and we look forward to seeing you next year. We went to Ephesus today and unfortunately, there were about 30,000 people there. It was a mess. We could have used your guidance. Frances says hello.
Anne, Dallas TX to her travel agent
Dear Carol, Everything was wonderful! THANK YOU!!! Rina is fantastic — very knowledgeable, thoroughly charming and a pleasure to be with. We miss her already!!! Here’s my review of everything: Venice- nice but overpriced and touristy — no surprise. Hotel was lovely apart from the one drunk concierge, and the departure. Their inability to sort out our bill and the consequential charge of 25 euros for the waiting taxi did not impress, and the fact that they told the taxi driver we were late because we were still sleeping was offensive. Enjoyed Murano, Burano and Torcello. Jewish ghetto was really interesting. Peggy Guggenheim museum was OK — a little cramped. We’re spoiled by living so close to NY. Piazza San Marco – what you would expect – a scene but an integral part of the gestalt of Venice. Biennale was not our cup of tea but I expect real modern are aficionados would disagree. Florence – Lovely. Uffizzi and Academia were great. No matter how many times one sees The David it never fails to be awe inspiring. Shopping is still good for leather and gold, but because the dollar is so weak buying much else doesn’t really pay. Food was excellent! Stayed away from the “must go to”, trendy restaurants, instead opting for Rina’s recommendations. Best part of Florence were the side trips: Fiesole: Cooking lesson was SUPER!!! Siena: Great San Gimigniano: Too cute for words. Has the best gelato in the world. Rina can tell you which place; she is friendly with the owner Chianti: Beautiful countryside. Verrazzano winery is breathtaking and the guide, Gino, is a real showman Pompeii – Stopped on the way to Amalfi. Incredible. Has to be seen to be believed. Amalfi – From now on, when I picture heaven it will be the Santa Caterina. I understand why you worked the rest of the trip around staying there — very wise! Thank you! There are no words to describe the beauty of the hotel and the setting. The staff is extraordinary — warm and so welcoming. From the moment we checked in, every staff member knew our name, room number, and how many in our party. Positano – more touristy than expected but cute. Much preferred the town of Amalfi. Sorrento- good shopping … terrible drivers … fabulous final Italian dinner courtesy of Rina. That’s about it. Thanks again. All the best, Anne
Danielle and Collin, Ontario CA
Hello Scot (“with one “t”), Collin is a filmmaker and me, a librarian. We did the St. Peter’s tour then everyone deserted except us, remember? We went for lunch and then you took us back to the Vatican for what turned out to be a *very* special time. For this, our most grateful thanks. We will never forget it. Collin and I have already talked frequently what a great experience and lucky thing it was to meet you. The rest of our trip went well….but that day at the Vatican with you remained a highlight.Collin and I especially appreciated how you “built in” some quiet, reflective moments when we were together. There was time to be mindful, enjoy the sunshine, experience the senses. You were calm and we remember our day as being the same – full of beauty and calmness. You came along into our lives by chance, and you created some fabulous memories for us that will last our lifetime. Thanks forever. You “touch” lives, and you make a difference in those lives…How cool is that! Bye for now, Danielle
from New York Times Travel section, Feb 2008
SOUTH of the tourist-crushed Trevi Fountain, past the scooter-clogged streets of Centro Storico and just outside the city’s 1,700-year-old walls is a miles-long stretch of ancient landmarks, quaint restaurants and serenity known as Appia Antica. Part of the fabled Appian Way, the ancient Roman road that connected Rome all the way to Brindisi at the heel of Italy’s boot, this cobblestone stretch is today a protected archaeological park that offers a scenic respite from the city’s bustle. On Sundays, the road is closed to vehicular traffic, and joggers (a rare sight in Rome), amorous couples (not such a rare sight) and baby strollers emerge to idle along its picturesque mausoleums and tranquil nooks. Getting there is easy. Take a 10-minute bus ride from the Basilica of San Giovanni (No. 218) or the Circus Maximus (No. 118) to Parco Regionale dell’Appia Antica. A visitors’ center (Via Appia Antica 58; 39-06-512-6314; www.parcoappiaantica.org) has free maps and friendly, English-speaking docents. Bikes are available for rent starting at 3 euros, $4.55 at $1.52 to the euro, per hour. Or, for a historical play-by-play, Scot McFiggen offers private walking tours starting at 65 euros an hour. Among the first sights is the Church of Domine Quo Vadis? (Via Appia Antica 51), so named because this is where St. Peter, fleeing persecution from Emperor Nero, reputedly had a vision of Jesus and asked “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus, as the story goes, replied, “To Rome, to be crucified again.” A cast of what some people believe are Jesus’ footprints is kept inside the church; the original cast is down the street in the Church of San Sebastian, above the narrow catacombs that once held the remains of early Christians martyrs (Via Appia Antica 136; 5 euros). But if you visit only one catacomb, descend into San Callisto (Via Appia Antica 78; 5 euros). Guided tours often led by witty American priests, take visitors along some of the 18 miles of dark tunnels and sepulchers where martyrs and early popes once rested. And if all the catacomb exploring builds up an appetite, Appia isn’t short on good restaurants. A popular lunch site for well-dressed parliamentarians is L’Archeologia (Via Appia Antica 139; 39-06-788-0494; www.larcheologia.it), a seafood restaurant housed in a 17th-century mail station that serves classic dishes like fish stew (13 euros) and homemade gnocchi with calamari and cherry tomatoes (12 euros). For truly classic dining, go to Antica Roma (Via Appia Antica 87; 39-06-513-2888; www.anticaroma.it), a tavern built into ancient ruins that serves recipes written down by Apicius, who is credited with writing the world’s first cookbook. Try the pollo oxizomum, baked chicken slathered in fish sauce (12 euros). After lunch, stop to gawk at the red-brick ruins of the Circus of Maxentius, a fourth-century racetrack and, farther on, the three-story cylindrical tomb of the first-century-B.C. Roman aristocrat Cecilia Metella (Via Appia Antica 161; 6 euros) that was turned into a castle by the blue-blooded Caetani family in the Middle Ages. From there, the tar road gives way to pizza-sized stone pavers complete with chariot wheel grooves, and is flanked by umbrella pines and millenniums-old mausoleums. This stretch of the Appia Antica remains one of Rome’s most fashionable addresses. Legions of Italian celebrities live in the massive villas that dot the ancient road. And except for the occasional Range Rover pulling out of the stone driveways, you can almost forget you’re in 21st-century Rome.
Charlotte, London England
Dear Scot, Just a quick mail to say a huge “Thank you” for a fabulous tour on Saturday. We had a great time and my Mum was so thrilled with it. It made our trip very special. We arrived home yesterday absolutely exhausted from a lovely weekend. Thanks again, it was really nice to meet you. Bye for now Charlotte

“A New Hope On The Pope Circuit”, August 21, 2006
Want the full Pope experience, but worried about taking the tour of the Vatican with a bunch of other people who see images of the Virgin Mary in their grilled cheese sandwiches? Then look no further than Vatican Art Walks [Loving Italy’s previous incarnation – ed.]. Their strict no-yardstick across the knuckles policy means they are Jaunted’s favorite Vatican tour company. Art Walk mastermind Scot (so cool his name only has one “t”) will take you and a small group on a tour of the Vatican, focusing primarily on the famous art inside. The tour is informative yet conversational in tone, and are only scheduled during off-hours at the Vatican, which means you won’t ever be with crowds big enough to make you hyperventilate. Plus, you might even learn something. How else would we have learned that there is a statue of Bill Clinton at the Vatican?
Claudette S, Shreveport LA
We were a little anxious about arriving in Florence since we had never been to Italy before, Rina met us at the train station and our anxiety immediately left us! She brought us in her lovely car to the top of the city and gave us an overview of the history of the city and allowed plenty of time to see the sights. She took us to places we never would have known about and to all the places we read about. Her intense knowledge of the city, the art, the best places to eat and snack, and the history all created a beautiful day for us. I have and will continue to recommend her to anyone who asks for a great tour guide. She is not to be missed. I have made a new friend and hope to see her again soon. Fondly, Claudette St. Amant
Melissa, Houston TX
Ciao, Rina! So glad to hear from you. It is true; time has flown by. We have been busy with the grandchildren and getting reacquainted! Have your ears been burning; we speak fondly of you every day. I told my sisters that we have a new sister in Italy. It was such a wonderful trip and the best part was because of you! I have some friends who may be contacting you; a couple of different groups. One dear friend is going to be staying in Figline for a month in the fall in a house that her sister-in-law has rented. My friend, Julia, and her husband will take a side trip to Rome. I told her she needs to call you or email you for the best tour of Rome imaginable! I will let you know more as they plan their trip. I played golf with Nancy Walker today and we were talking about how much we missed you. Did you have a good visit with your family? Hope you were able to see them for more time than you had thought! Take care of yourself and yes, let’s keep in touch! Sincerely, melissa
Al & Michele R, New York NY
Hi Scot, We are back from our cruise and back to work already. I just wanted to say that we had a great time with you in Rome! The whole Vatican tour was awesome and the kids loved the Colisseum. I liked the San Clemente church; that’s something you don’t get to hear about everyday. You were great with us and the kids. Also, me with all my emails! There is no way we could have seen what did and known what we were looking at without you. It felt like more of a friend showing us around than a tour guide. My husband Al is already saying we should go back to Italy, and when we do we will look you up! Hope all is well and thanks again, Michele and co.
Heather, Boston MA
Rina, I’m so happy that I finally found your email address! How have you been? How did your wine tour go? Do you have a lot of traveling to do in August? I just want to say how wonderful it was to meet you and have you be part of our trip, it was truly a blessing for our family to have you join us. I can’t stop thinking about what an amazing time it was and can’t stop telling all of my friends and coworkers about it! My new goal is to find a job that will allow me to travel and live abroad, hopefully in Italy. I’m taking Italian lessons in September so I will have to write to you for practice! I hope everything is going well for you and I hope to see you again in the near future, especially with my boyfriend’s family being in Arezzo. I told Carolina to let me know when she makes the brochures for the wine tours because I think there are several people in my office who would be interested. Thank you again for such a wonderful time, my family and I will never forget it! Please keep in touch and say hello to your dog for me!
Carolyn G (and Ted, Betsy, Donna, Dale, Josephine, Suzy & Maxine) London, OH
Dear Scot Some of our group got together last night and we wondering how you were doing and what is going on in Rome???? It has almost been a year since we made our trip to Rome. We were looking at our pictures and reliving our trip to Rome, Greek Isles, Tuscany and Malta. What a good time. We all were in appreciation for all you did for us. Hope all is well with you – I know you are probably busy but we would like to hear from you. Take care !!!! Carolyn

Rina, What a find you were, what a great day in Sienna, and you are my Italian Professor/tour guide. I need to clone several of you for other parts of the world. I will let you know when our Connoisseur Of Travel web site is up- should be a couple of weeks. Be well. Ciao! Norman

Our first trip to Europe and we wanted to visit the Vatican. I hit on a site called [–]. My first impression of Scot McFiggin, the director of the site (who also leads the tours) was kind, prompt and sincerely helpful. I felt instantly at ease. The whole process in getting the tour set up was simply a breeze. Not only did Scot give us a fabulous tour of the Vatican Museums, St. Peter’s Square and the Sistine Chapel, he also arranged a reasonably priced and comfortable ride from the dock in Civitavechia to our hotel in Rome. We met for lunch prior to the tour and walked a short distance to the entrance of the Vatican.
Scot’s knowledge of art history was extensive and impressive. His true talent was in delivering historical information in a fun and informal way. His use of a headset (with the group using earphones) was especially nice in a crowded setting. Our small group didn’t have to huddle together to hear every word but felt free to linger in one place or another as long as we were within a few yards of our guide.
My husband was using a scooter for better mobility and Scot was eager to assist in carrying the scooter at stairways or leading my husband to an elevator when necessary. We went on several tours while in Europe… in Greece, in Turkey and other parts of Italy; but this tour far outshined the others in every way. The Vatican is amazing in and of itself – Scot made the whole experience more so. I highly recommend a visit to [–].

I had arranged to have a guide walk us through Rome for the day � a brilliant decision! Scot McFiggen, of [Loving Italy], met us at the train and gave us a personal tour which started at the Coliseum (via Metro from Termini) then on to the Forum, past the Wedding Cake, Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navrona, a short stop for lunch and then taxi to Vatican City to see the museum, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s.
All this with a running commentary of architecture, history and stories. No heads buried in a map and no getting lost. Scot is an American who fell in love with Italy and loves to share his enthusiasm with others. He is extremely knowledgeable but we never felt overwhelmed with information. We walked many miles that day, and this may not be for everyone but for us it was a great way to get the flavor of Rome. There are so many more senses aroused when you’re on foot rather than watching from behind a window!
At 1:30 pm, when we arrived at the Vatican Museum there was no line. Apparently, Monday is ‘cruise-ship’ day in Rome and the mornings are very crowded. We bid Scot farewell at the St. Pietro train station about 4:30pm and made it back to the ship in plenty of time for our 7pm departure. The train was so packed, the walls kept us all upright for most of the journey. Somewhere in Italy, there’s a poor man who has very intimate knowledge of my anatomy and definitely not by his choice!

I met Rina Bucci, who lives in Florence during my Holiday in Italy. See is a fantastic tour guide and organizes numerous tour experiences for individuals and groups. I would appreciate if you could pass her info (electronic card attached below) on to those individuals at Costa who are responsible for tours and shore excursions with my highest recommendation for her abilities. Rina is a fantastic resource that Costa might want to tap someday.
Thomas E.
Hi guys! I promised you in early July that I would send you some photos of the tour we took with you of the Vatican museums. The tour you gave was entertaining and informative and the topic was magnificent. I hope to return to Rome and take another of your tours one day. Best regards, Tom
Cindie K., Dallas TX
Dear Rina, Forgive me for taking so long to write to you after our return. I just wanted to thank you again for the fabulous day in Florence, Tuscany and Pisa that you so graciously provided for us. It was the highlight of our trip. You are so knowledgable about the history and sites of Italy. The brief tour to the winery was outstanding. Please keep in touch with us and feel free to give my name and email address to anyone wanting a reference. I cannot wait to return to Italy and especially Florence, it is such a beautiful city with so much to offer. Be well and thank you again!
Jo Ann F., Shreveport LA
This will be a very short note. We loved our trip to Italy thanks to you. You are the best and as you already know we all adore you. I will be sending a package to you shortly, so be on the look out for it. This is one of the eBay sights for magnets. I will also forward one on cups and saucers. Hope this gets you started on an adventure with eBay. It can be addictive!! Till later- Love and Hugs, “Ciao Baby” Jo Ann (in case you forgot) P.S. Start planing your trip to Louisiana.
Kathy and Emily
Hey Scot – I want to say thanks for helping us to get off on the right foot – the entire trip was charmed from start to finish and you gave us a beautiful introduction to Rome and to Italy. We had so many incredible things happen to us! Within a few days we both got over our shyness about trying out the language and even Ms. Thing was cool with walking into stores by herself and running a few riffs in Italian. So, thank you! I appreciated your breadth of knowledge and your sense of humor about the city, art, politics (your spin, especially), history – and especially your passion for such an amazing country, despite it’s faults. I’m not a t.v. watcher so have been devouring books on Italy – art, culture, history – since returning home – and I wanna move there (you’ve got to say that last part with a major whine in your voice!!!). Well, another visit in the meantime – and we’ll connect with you! I wish you well and thanks again for making our trip that much more amazing!!
Linda, AK
Rina, we are back in Arkansas. The weather is 90 and sunny! The boys were glad to get home and see their friends. Gary said he was templed out by the time we made Venice. Our time with you was still our favorite. If it is OK with you , I am forwarding your e-mail to Nancy McIntosh. She will be in the Florence area the first of July sometime. She is an international stewardess for American Airlines based in New York.. Lovely lady. Please allow us to show you Southern hospitality if you ever make it to the States! Tke care! – Linda

Buongiorno, Come sta ? I just wanted to say Mille grazie again for making our vacation so bellissimo I am in the process of sorting through 2,100 pictures taken in 10 short days and I wanted to send either a CD or prints of at least some of them. I went to your website and could not find your address so-> Qual’e’ il tuo (suo) indirizzo? Send it to me per favore and I will get them out to you as soon as I am done. Buona giornata Frank J.

(letter to her travel agent) Dear Carol, Everything was wonderful! THANK YOU!!! Rina is fantastic — very knowledgeable, thoroughly charming and a pleasure to be with. We miss her already!!! Here’s my review of everything: Venice- nice but overpriced and touristy — no surprise. Hotel was lovely apart from the one drunk concierge, and the departure. Their inability to sort out our bill and the consequential charge of 25 euros for the waiting taxi did not impress, and the fact that they told the taxi driver we were late because we were still sleeping was offensive. Enjoyed Murano, Burano and Torcello. Jewish ghetto was really interesting. Peggy Guggenheim museum was OK — a little cramped. We’re spoiled by living so close to NY. Piazza San Marco – what you would expect – a scene but an integral part of the gestalt of Venice. Biennale was not our cup of tea but I expect real modern are aficionados would disagree. Florence – Lovely. Uffizzi and Academia were great. No matter how many times one sees The David it never fails to be awe inspiring. Shopping is still good for leather and gold, but because the dollar is so weak buying much else doesn’t really pay. Food was excellent! Stayed away from the “must go to”, trendy restaurants, instead opting for Rina’s recommendations. Best part of Florence were the side trips: Fiesole: Cooking lesson was SUPER!!! Siena: Great San Gimigniano: Too cute for words. Has the best gelato in the world. Rina can tell you which place; she is friendly with the owner Chianti: Beautiful countryside. Verrazzano winery is breathtaking and the guide, Gino, is a real showman Pompeii – Stopped on the way to Amalfi. Incredible. Has to be seen to be believed. Amalfi – From now on, when I picture heaven it will be the Santa Caterina. I understand why you worked the rest of the trip around staying there — very wise! Thank you! There are no words to describe the beauty of the hotel and the setting. The staff is extraordinary — warm and so welcoming. From the moment we checked in, every staff member knew our name, room number, and how many in our party. Positano – more touristy than expected but cute. Much preferred the town of Amalfi. Sorrento- good shopping … terrible drivers … fabulous final Italian dinner courtesy of Rina. That’s about it. Thanks again. All the best, Anne

This letter is to give you a pat on the back. We were in Rome in mid August and went on your wonderful tour of the Vatican. Our whole family considered this one of the highlights of our 3 week adventure in Italy. I wanted to take a minute to tell you what a good job you do. We loved the history and stories you told us as we went through the museums. It was a very special three hours and I am sure we will remember all the many things you shared with us. It was so good I wanted to make sure you knew. Thank you again.
Louis Van E., Boston MA
We truly enjoyed the tour of the Vatican and we LOVED Rome. We felt very lucky to have been included in your tour as we both thought you were knowledgeable and passionate about the subject – its clear you love your job!!! I would love to bring my family to Rome and if/when we do I will definitely book you for a tour. Good luck to you and hopefully our paths will cross again in the future. Best regards.
Dick and Sally, FL
This is from Dick (the guy with the cane). I just want to tell you by e-mail how much Sally and I enjoyed the tours of Rome and the Amalfi coast. Your personal knowledge of Rome, Pompeii and the coast towns made for unforgettable days. We feel that the tours arranged by you were the highlights of our cruise. I feel that we learned more about Rome, and certainly the Pantheon, in that one day than in the entire week we had spent in Rome twenty years ago.
Leslie and Richard, New York, NY
Dear Rina, There really is no way to adequately express our thanks to you for making our trip special in so many ways. But let us try. First, when everyone asks what our favorite part of our trip was, we both answer without hesitation, “Assisi”. It was sublime. Our day travleing through Tuscany and Umbria with you was divine, everything you promised and more. And you are the most delightful company! Now, when I hear Tony Bennett I immediately think of you as well. Second, we would have had no Rome experience without you. That day driving around would have been a day of us struggling to get from place to place by subway and on foot. How much would we have seen? How terrible would it have been in the heat? You saved the day! We felt we had a very complete visit, seeing what we wanted to see. Third, you removed all the stress and anxiety over the taxi strikes by assuring us we would have a way to get to the airport. It would have been hard to enjoy our vacation worrying about being stranded. And then, of all things, you produced a guide with a husband who is a driver, who could help us! Which brings me to . . . Fourth, Alessandra. She was so great! We had a wonderful Vatican/St. Peter’s tour and really enjoyed her so very much. She is smart, funny and just a bit irreverent, which made for a great experience. And her husband took us to the airport Friday in a big thunderstorm, safely, what a sweet guy! We even saw more sights as we left the city. Our flight was on time to the minute and we got home with no problem. Rina, you made this all so very specal. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We look forward to further wonderful tours with you! All the best, Leslie and Richard Curtis
Rebecca C, Oberlin OH
Rebecca C. Dear Scot, Thanks again for the amazing tours. It’s four years later, and I’m hip-deep in senior thesis, and during those hours when I allow myself to think about anything other than academia, I daydream about Europe and Rome, and I still remember those tours. I went to fourteen countries in that six months, but I don’t think I knew anywhere as much as I got to know Rome. Thank you again
travel agent Sonja
(from travel agent) Hello Rina: Finally heard from The Walkers..the following are there comments. “We were very happy with the driver and the guides. They wery very informative, confident and intuitive, homing in on our needs and moods”. All in all sounds good to me..thank you so much again. Sonja
