This tour was the best tour we had with the tour guy. The guide was nice enough but it was the area that really made the experience good. Being on a bus for the majority of the tour made for a long day. The best that this tour did for us is help us to know which area of Italy we would visit again. It won’t be a bus tour rather we will just plan to stay in the area to have real time to appreciate instead of just a couple of hours.

Our guide Chiara was knowledgeable and personable. The scenery was spectacular and we had a number of memorable stops along the way. We're very glad we did this.
