About Italy Tour Sharing & Joe Banana Limos
Italy Tour Sharing is a sister website of Joe Banana Limos. Joe Banana Limos provides transfers and excursions all around the beautiful country of Italy.
This website was created by Joe Banana Limos to give our clients the opportunity to save money by sharing tours with fellow cruisers, without compromising the same luxury service experience of a private tour. (If you're looking for private tours please click here). Through this website, our guests can either create a group or join a group already open. It's easy and you'll save a lot of money.
The story of Joe Banana Limos is genuine. I was brought up in a tiny village situated between the Amalfi and Sorrento coasts and spent most of my childhood with my grandfather who would sell fruit and vegetables in the area. My grandfather had a little three wheeled van and went from village to village, house to house, selling the freshest produce to families, shops and restaurants. I could always be found hanging off the back of this van, listening to my grandfather's stories and the local gossip as he weighed out the fruit and vegetables whilst enjoying the company and the sunshine, believing I was the luckiest boy in the whole world.
My grandfather was a local legend in Sorrento and around Amalfi and the little boy in the trailer eating bananas became equally famous, eventually becoming known as Joe Banana, and the name stuck. Ask for Giovanni Guida and no one will know who you are talking about. Ask for Joe Banana and you are sure to find me!
So, for the past 15 years, I have dedicated my time to chauffeuring people just like yourself to the more, and less, famous regions and cities throughout Italy.
Our fleet of luxury Mercedes sedans and vans can comfortably accommodate from 1 to 8 people and we can also provide shore excursions for big groups, utilizing larger or multiple vehicles accordingly.
Our multilingual drivers are flexible and always available to answer your questions. As locals, they will share history and stories which add a more personal touch to your tour and are sure to leave you with a smile.
Our company believes in supporting and promoting local businesses. We use only officially licensed, local guides for historical sites such as Pompeii, Herculaneum, the Vatican and other sites within Naples, Rome, and Florence. They, and we, will take care of you all day long touring our beautiful cities, explaining our history and describing our monuments.
While we do follow itineraries for our shared tours, we can also help you in planning the day, suggesting other sights you may wish to see which are off the beaten path and not necessarily on the usual ‘tourist map’.
One of the many, and arguably most important, reasons travelers come to Italy is to experience the gastronomic delights of the Italian kitchen and this is where Joe Banana Limos excel. We can, of course, take you to the most famous restaurants, however, as we all know, often the best and most traditional foods are found in those little, secret places frequented only by the locals. Whether your favourite meal is meat, fish, pasta, pizza, or something a little sweeter, and no matter what your budget is, we will know of the right place for you.
We look foward to the opportunity to meet you and provide you with our excellent services, making memories to last a lifetime.
Sincerely,
Giovanni Guida (Joe Banana)
Manager at Italy Tour Sharing
