Perfetto! - We had a very comfortable and informative drive into wine country. The scenery is spectacular and at all of the stops we had plenty of time to take in all the wonders, charm and history of d’Alba, Barolo and Barbaresco. The lunch recommendation in d’Alba was delicious and we enjoyed the free time afterwards to see the Duomo and shops. The wine tasting in Barbaresco was expertly done and the wines from our family owned property were fantastic. By the end of the day we felt like we were hanging with a small group of friends. What a spectacular day! Ciao, Ciao.

Unexpectedly pleasant off the beaten pattern tour! - Highly recommended tour, if you want to be out of the busy Milan area for a day. Alba was chill, eat, shop and slow down a lil bit. Then the beautiful views of the wine country of Barolo. It seems like a short tour but a whole day thing because of the drive, but I think it can be your chance to really unwind and take a break from the busy crowd in Milan or even Como or Bellagio. Mikel our tour guide was good also. Had a lot of recs.

Abroads Tours with Stefano is a must do if you like small groups, non rushed, interesting off the beaten path adventures - We loved the small group size. Within an hour we were all laughing as friends. Taking us us to interesting, non touristy locations was appreciated. The UNESCO castle, walking around the small town of Alba and enjoying a non rushed lunch was refreshing. Our guide, Stefano, was entertaining and knew the history of the region well. We’ll be booking another venture with Stefano upon our return to Milano!

Amazing Barolo wine tour - A unique tour of the Piemonte region. The views on the whole tour are spectacular. The wine tasting is so nicely prepared. Our guide, Stephano, is so knowledgeable about the region, the history and the wine as well.

Avoid the tourist traps with this unique tour of the Italian countryside! - I am so glad I chose this tour out of Milan! Oleg selected the ideal locations to see—-from the panoramic views that bookended the tour at the castle and winery, to the quaint alley-dwelling experience of Alba—-we really got to see parts of the Italian country that we otherwise would have missed had we not booked this tour. Further, Oleg’s extensive knowledge about statistics and history was fascinating, and made the drive that much more enjoyable. Book this tour—-you will be glad you did!

Amazing Honeymoon Day Trip - Amazing Day Trip! Stefano was one of the best tour guides. Tons of knowledge, history, and experience. Very down to earth and has a great sense of humor! The scenery was unmatched and I loved the balance of free time, exploration, and group experience. I went with my wife on our honeymoon and we would definitely do this tour twice

Authentic local experience - I am so glad I chose this experience. Stefano provided an exceptional level of service and shared his extensive knowledge of the area and its history, making the day more meaningful and memorable. The small group format gave me the opportunity to meet new people with shared interests while not being overwhelmed with large crowds. The van was very comfortable. The tour took us to places that were authentic (not touristy), which provided a more intimate experience. There was ample time to explore; I never felt rushed. Stefano provided a range of recommendations for restaurants that met each customer’s preferences and dietary needs. Stefano’s professionalism is in a league of its own, making the experience easy and enjoyable.
