An unscheduled stop by the roadside in the country at a very photogenic point was the highlight. All 3 towns/villages were excellent although a bit more warning about the extremely steep difficult walking would have been welcome. We were taxed to our limit and might have chosen something gentler if we'd known.
Alberto was a fantastic guide - the right amount of information and guided tour plus also time for ourselves. The wine tasting was a great experience for all. We are travelling with our 3 teens and they all said this was the best day of the whole trip!
