Wonderful experience - We enjoyed this experience fully thanks to our super Guide Lorenzo! He was able to show us the beauty of the hollow streets telling us historical curiosities and interesting anecdotes. We recommend it to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the nature and history of this lovely place.

Three hours of hiking and culture - We made a trekking path suitable for our standards, Lorenzo was immediately able to catch our attention and put us the curiosity to find every corner of the Via Cava that made us travel, telling us anecdotes, history and legends... Highly recommended if you want to enter the Etruscan historical-cultural fabric with a pinch of imagination, leaving the hustle and bustle of our chaotic daily lives!

Le Vie Cave, a beautiful discovery! - Beautiful excursion. Lorenzo guided us with patience and enthusiasm through the Via Cave, telling us the history of the place and answering all our questions. The excursion is not too demanding and I recommend appropriate shoes, Lorenzo is always careful to guarantee the safety of his guests. The final visit to the Cantina della Luce was also very interesting and refreshing, where, guided by Gabriele, we had a wine tasting in a suggestive cave historically used for the production of the same. Excellent example of attention to the territory. Well done!

An enjoyable hike to get familiar with Maremma history and landscape - Lorenzo is a knowledgeable guide who took us back into time through sharing stories of the Etruscan and Roman peoples while following their footsteps on trails. His patience in answering our many questions concerning Maremma history, geography, agriculture, and culture offers a hike connected to a Place and not just to a route. What an enjoyable way to get familiar with Maremma history and landscape. After our hike Lorenzo introduced us to Francesco and Gabriele, two young winemakers at Cantina Della Luce. We visited the cave cellars of Francesco's Grandfather, where they follow the sustainable farming and winemaking practices of their ancestries. With our life spent in agriculture as well, we connected immediately with their passion and being deeply rooted in the land. Plus, their wine is very good! We highly recommend taking a step back into time with Lorenzo, The Red Road.

Trekking Etruscan trails with the Red Road - This was our second tour with Lorenzo. We previously did the Pitigliano tour. Trekking through the Etruscan cave with Lorenzo is enjoyable, educational, and rewarding. The hike is moderately challenging, but it is mostly about the learning and the impressive cave. At the end of our hike, Lorenzo took us to a wine tasting in a Sorano cavern offered by two young wine entrepeneurs,Gabriele and Francesco (checkout Cantina della Luce on Instagram). A day well spent. Highly recommend.
