Anyone have any advice/info/first hand (no pun) experience with providers in Europe (particularly Italy, but other places are fine)?  Done lots of research, can't tell what's legit, and it's seems very pricey... Thanks for any help.

In Italy the agencies are not legal. Almost all girls are independents. A lot of affordable girls are in "tour" from agencies of east europe (hungarian, russian, czech) You may check www.arcaton.com or http://www.edith-escort.com/ (Edith is very sweet).
