Reviewed By Arosect - Greenwich, Ct | Traveled to Europe
Ricardo isn’t just a tour guide. He genuinely becomes like family to the people he has on his tours. We have been with him since 1997 and we’ve never explored the world without him his knowledge, global connections and genuine love for people make the trip unforgettable. From the best restaurants to the most spectacular tours of every city visit Ricardo and his team deliver excellence with warmth, respect and passion traveling with him isn’t just a vacation. It’s a once in a lifetime experience every single time. And with complete and total honesty, you’ll end up meeting his good friends that he has in almost every city in the world. lol (of course I’m exaggerating) but it is mind blowing the amount of people that he knows and keeps fantastic relationships with. You know the saying, “show me your friends and I’ll show you who you are.” it applies perfectly to when you meet all his colleagues and all of his friends.

Best Tour of my life !
Reviewed By Ciao St Louis - St. Louis Missouri | Traveled to Sicily | Italy | Europe
Our tour of Sicily with Wherever Tours was beyond extraordinary, and our tour director, Ricardo Filaci, was absolutely phenomenal in every possible way.
Ricardo is the rare tour director who elevates a great itinerary into a once-in-a-lifetime experience. His passion for Sicily, encyclopedic knowledge, and captivating storytelling transformed every drive, stop, and sightseeing moment into something special. You could truly feel his pride and love for the island in everything he shared.
What sets Ricardo apart is his genuine care for people. He anticipated needs before they were even voiced, handled every detail seamlessly, and made every traveler feel valued and included. His warmth, humor, and tireless dedication created an atmosphere of joy, comfort, and excitement from start to finish.
This was one of the best tours we have ever taken, and Ricardo was the heart and soul of the experience. Thanks to him and Wherever Tours, Sicily will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We would follow Ricardo anywhere and recommend him and this tour without the slightest hesitation.

Unmatched Service and Detail: Our 27-Year Experience with Richard Filaci”
Reviewed By Lori G - Greenwich, CT | Traveled to Italy | Europe
We have known Richard Filaci for over 27 years, and he has been our trusted travel agent since our very first trip with him to Sicily nearly three decades ago. Since then, he has helped us plan and enjoy many unforgettable journeys, including Egypt, Sorrento, and a return to Sicily.
Ricardo’s attention to detail is exceptional. He is consistently accommodating, thoughtful, and dedicated to making every aspect of travel seamless. Over the years, we have recommended him to many friends, and every single one has come back with the same reaction: he is amazing.
His professionalism, deep knowledge of travel, and genuine care for his clients make him truly stand out. After 27 years, we continue to rely on him with complete confidence.

Ricardo has a personality that turns any vacation trip into a trip of a lifetime. His knowledge of locations background is not only interesting and fact based, but his amusing personality always turns dry information into humorous laughter; keeping you interested and wanting more. He treats you like family.
A trip with Ricardo (and Wherever Tours) will leave you hoping the trip never ends and wanting to come back with Him! Thank you Ricardo for the great trips you made for me and my family.

See the destination in the eyes of a local
Reviewed By Maisoon - St Louis, MO | Traveled to Italy | Europe
Best experience traveling to Italy with Richard. Not only we covered the most important attractions in each city we visited, we also got to experience the destination as a local. We visited smaller towns and got to meet with the locals and have nice meals with them. Skipping the line at the Vatican and the Colosseum gave extra time to explore and learn about the sites with no hassle. Will travel with Richard again for sure! ??
