“Overall we had a great time. Pepper was our driver around the island and Dante was our guy talking to us about all things Domenica. They took us to the major attractions, but in opposite direction to avoid the crowds from the cruises. We had a great time being immersed into the natural beauty of this country. They also recommended a great lunch spot and we had a really good time.”
