We wanted to spend most time visiting the abbey church at Montecassino. Our guide, Francesco, listened to our priority of doing this and ensured that we had all the time we wanted. He was sensitive and extremely knowledgable. We could not have had anyone better. We visited the war graves as well and learned a great deal. Our driver, Giovanni, was equally competent caring and friendly. Grateful thanks to them both.

Dr. Danila Bracaglia was a first rate tour guide with extensive knowledge of the area and the military operations during WW2. Tour was enhanced with maps, photos and videos. I wanted to see the area because a family member served in the 36th Division which fought there. I feel fortunate to have found Dr. Bracaglia and would highly recommend her tour service to anyone with an interest in the Italian Campaign.

Nice driver and pleasant drive to Cassino from our Rome hotel. Our guide / historianAnna Maria that met us in Cassino was excellent. The tour would not have been as interesting if not for her. She took an interest in the reasons we wanted to visit Montecassino and answered all questions that we put to her. Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in WWII and the battle in Cassino.
