My wife and I would like to thank JB Limo for our extensive 21 day tour thru Italy from Amalfi coast to Venice. Rossella was a delight to work with as we planned our vacation. With our input, she designed our entire trip from hotels, individual stops, guides, and private driver. Thanks to Rossella's planning and Luca, our private driver, the experience was magical and stress free. They made sure everything went smoothly every step of the way and handled any unanticipated issues that arose. The guides provided were exceptional. A few worthy of mention were Paolo in Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Capri; Rita in Rome; Francesca in Florence; Christian in Cinque Terre; Esther in Milan; and Igor in Venice. A few of the highlights included the private boat excursion down the Amalfi coast, private boat to Capri and our visit to Osteria di Passignano winery in Tuscany which included one of our favorite meals. This is our third time using JB Limo services when visiting Italy and they have always exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend their services.

After utilizing Joe Banana Limos & Travel for several cruise port tours, we decided to plan a longer trip with them. So, along with another couple, we booked a 15-day tour of Southern Italy. This was a wise decision since this trip was completely amazing! Our Guest Ambassador Cindy communicated with us on a regular basis and transformed our travel preferences into a custom itinerary. Her choice of hotels, guides, driver, and experiences were all spectacular. Equally as important, Cindy provided timely updates on COVID conditions and protocols in Italy. Massimo, our driver, was more like a family friend than just our chauffeur. He was punctual, friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to please. Massimo went above and beyond responding to our every wish and need. For example, locating a store where a bottle of bourbon could be purchased, accompanying and translating for one of us at a hair salon, and identifying restaurants featuring local cuisine such as donkey meat. However, his best attribute was his commitment to driving safely. Our itinerary included visits to popular tourist sites, as well as stops in many small, quaint, and charming towns but it was the unique experiences that made our trip magical. We enjoyed our stays in a cave hotel in Matera and the two-nights in an Ostuni masseria which was highlighted by a six-course authentic Pugliese dinner. Our group of four attended an olive oil tasting and cooking class in which we made a variety of pastas and focaccia that were included in our fantastic Italian lunch; on another day we visited an Amalfi coast lemon grove where we made limoncello and were treated to another “light” lunch. Imagine our surprise when the scheduled boat tours around and to the islands of Ischia and Capri were on Joe Banana’s private boat with a skipper who knew the best spots for photos. Our three tour guides (Amy, Tiziana, and Paola) were friendly, informative, spoke English, and made our sight-seeing stops interesting and meaningful. Having local people accompany us made our trip into a true adventure. We highly recommend Joe Banana Limos & Travel for travelers desiring to visit Italy. We are already planning more trips with Joe Banana to areas of this beautiful country and we will definitely request Massimo to be our driver again.

The pickup was waiting for us when we arrived at the airport. I was in constant communication with their dispatchers through Whatsapp. They monitored my flight, and when it was delayed adjusted for me and texted to confirm. The car was clean, the driver was super polite, spoke English well, and was able to point out tons of interesting stuff along the way. Easily one of the best transfer experiences i've ever had.
