Next, we will stop by the famous Rapido River to pay our respects at the local memorials, and then proceed to the Commonwealth War Cemetery of Cassino. The tour will conclude with a visit to the Abbey of Monte Cassino, focusing on its significance during WWII.

The best WWII battle tour we've ever been on by far - Anna was so amazingly knowledgeable about everything pertaining to WWII. So much that it made it easy to understand and follow every piece of information she shared with us. We got lucky and pretty much had a private tour since it was only the two of us that were booked and her and my husband were able to have amazing conversations that he hasn't been able to have with anyone. If I could rate her and this tour higher I would in a heartbeat.

Fantastic and credible - This was a fantastic tour. Anna clearly has a very excellent knowledge about the battles of WW2 Anna went far beyond a tourist guide and the full impacts to all sides she described impacts and politics of the time. A most enjoyable visit.

Interesting tour with friendly and knowledgeable guide! - We really enjoyed the tour with Anna. She was so knowledgeable about the history of Monte Cassino, and we learned so much on our tour. She picked us up at the train station, and she drove us to the important sites, the cemetery, and the monastery. We definitely recommend this tour!

Outstanding Tour and Guide! - My husband is fascinated with World War 2 history and booked us onto the tour with Anna on our way to Naples from Rome. I was sceptical as it was 3 hours and is not my usual area of interest. But I needn’t have worried AT ALL!!!! The 3 hours went by like a flash and Anna could not have been any more friendly, interesting or knowledgeable. She knows so much and really brought the reality of what happened to life. The Benedictine Abbey was a real highlight for me and remarkable to think it has been rebuilt and so quickly and precisely. We will remember this morning for years to come (and my husband is delighted!!) Thank you so much Anna!

Highly recommended. - Anna met us at train station. She took us to great locations. All along Anna shares her knowledge going to different sites. She was very knowledgeable about World War II and has very detailed knowledge of Cassino/ Monte Cassino, both regarding the battle, the monastery and the people of Cassino. Highly recommended.

Cassino Battlefields. Anna highly recommended. - Anna was extremely knowledgeable as to the WW2 battles at Cassino and on Italian culture and history. She was animated and has a great sense of humour. She is also a good driver! We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her even the battlefields and history are very sobering.

An amazing tour! - I am glad I had such a knowledgeable and great guide to take me through this historical battle. One of, if not the best guided historical tours I have done to date! Took us to all the important places. The hours flew by, without anything feeling rushed! Answered any questions me or my fellow group member would have.
