“An Historical and Cultural Experience that gives you a real taste of Italy - This tour was a rich historical and cultural experience particularly made enjoyable by the regard of Alan and Massimo (alternatively guide and driver) for my wife’s accessible needs. The places we visited were brought to life by their deep knowledge of Italian history and culture and they were excellent company for the day tour. We also had a wonderful wine tasting experience where we were left with time and space to enjoy as a couple. I would strongly recommend this tour and we will be coming back to use the same service.” - Reviewed at 2024-10-25
