Amazing experience!
Published on Nov, 2024
This tour was incredible! We had an amazing time in each city, and the winery was also fun and just a great experience. Marta and Ricardo were the best too. She explained the history of the area and gave us great suggestions for each town, and Ricardo got us to each destination safely. This was the best day of our Italy trip, and you should definitely book it!
