Excellent guide provides excellent service. introduced so many background details about Italy.
Valentina was excellent, gave us lots of tips for traveling etc. each part of the tour was well thought out.
We set off with Valentina for a horseback tour and then for a wine tasting. Her kindness and knowledge accompanied us from the beginning to the end of this day. A special thanks to Valentina for everything.
We had the best time with Valentina! She was a wonderful guide. We really enjoyed horseback riding, the horses were so great and so was our horseback guide. The wine tasting plus lunch was the perfect ending to the tour. The best lasagna I have ever had,
Amazing day! Highly recommend!

We had the best day! Dom our tour guide was amazing, full of history and information, great English and very friendly. Horse riding was so beautiful. Yes the horses wanted to eat grass but a quick correction and off we went. It was so peaceful and the countryside was magical. Lunch and wine tasting was also beautiful with the most ridiculouly amazing lasagne! Our host was again so full of information and catered to our tastes. All round we had the best day. Definitely value for money would 100% reccomend 👌
Really nice experience and very good organisation. The horse riding is very good for beginners (like me) and the wine tasting was amazing as well. Especially our guide Emanuel was very kind and had a lot of interesting information about the area, wine and football :)
