Jamie or Marco - ABD Guides

[MariaTia]

We took the Viva Italia tour in May 2007 and Jamie and Marco were our tour guides. We just loved them! They were so friendly and nice. Just wanted to see if anyone else on here has had the pleasure of being on a tour with them and to see how they are doing.

Marco and Cinzia were our guides for Viva Italia in July 2007. He was a big hit with the teenage girls in our group. I agree, he was very nice and did an excellent job carrying that sign everywhere. He and Cinzia seemed to have a good rapport despite not working together before. She was on her way to do an Amalfi Coast tour and then to Spain, so I guess it is common to mix up the "teams". We loved them both.

Marco and Heidi were our Viva Italia guides in June 2007. Both were great. Marco has a very lyrical way of speaking that made for several memorable moments on our trip.

Do you have a pic of Cinzia? We took a WDW behind-the-scenes walking tour of the MK several years ago and our guide's name was also Cinzia, so I'm wondering if this might be the same Cinzia... Thanks!

Here's a picture of our guides, Cinzia and Dusty, plus the local guide who showed us Rome, Paulo. (sp?) (You can click on this for full-size... sorry it's so small.)

Dingoballs - I don't think this would be the same Cinzia, as I seem to recall that she said she was new to Disney... ...that ABD was her first gig with them. I thought "Cinzia" was such a pretty name... She said it's Italian for Cynthia.

Dusty "does" work at WDW... in entertainment. We've actually seen him twice since we returned from our trip in September....

Thanks Beth! You're right, it's not the same Cinzia. And how neat that you've seen Dusty at WDW since your Italy trip. Don't you just love these ABDs?

I absolutely LOVED my ABD trip. I wish we could do one every year... but I think we'll need to save for 2010... or maybe 2009...

I actually got an email/Christmas card from "my" Cinzia this morning... She and Dusty have both kept in touch.... Pretty cool.

Beth, Your Cinzia is the same as ours. If I remember correctly, this year was her second with ABD. Before that she lived in California, just one town over from us. Amazingly small world.
