INCREDIBLE - This was such an amazing experience! Elisabetha was our small-group tour guide and she was such a bundle of positivity and joy. She made the entire day fun, taught us so much about each city we visited, and ensured we were comfortable (both while in transit and comfortable enough to ask her any and all questions). If I had more time in Italy, I’d do as many tours as possible with Elisabetha.
And in general, Italy on a Budget tours provided such a great itinerary for a great price. Will be booking with them when I’m back in the country!
Thank you so so much!
Oh, and the winery was so incredible. Left me speechless.
