What could have been spectacular didn't meet the mark. We were greeted at the meeting place by our guide Corinna. A very sweet and understanding guide. Soon after we boarded the bus, we were informed of several things amongst one in particular, that instead of being a 7 to 8 hours excursion which was what we booked, it was going to be for 12 hours instead! That rocked all of our plans that day. We had reservations that night after the tour to celebrate our last day in Rome, not! After mentioning it to our guide and showing her the printout stating the '7 to 8 hours' tour, she apologized and tried to make all kinds of suggestions, but for our plans they were completely shot! I don't blame her, but I do blame the tour company for putting us in a critical position and ruining our plans. I still don't understand how that happened. Anyhow, the sights we did go see were absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. The place we ate at was picturesque indeed, but I can't say that the food was anything to write home about. Good, but nothing out of the ordinary. Oh, did I mention that instead of arriving back at 7:30, we still didn't get back until after 8:00 pm., and we still had to take a taxi back to the hotel and eat something somewhere before our early departure the next morning. Not what we had planned for on our last day!

Thank you again for your comments, and we hope that despite this disappointment, you were able to take home some wonderful memories of the places you visited.
Our guide was a very nice person but obviously did not have experience in managing a group of people, I.e., clearly stating meeting time and place, giving a heads up to guests on what to expect or next steps. We always had to ask. Also no info about area we were in.

We were very much looking forward to the Moradi Tuscany wine tour. This was going to be the final and exclamation point on our wonderful Italian trip. We got up early to meet for the tour where we found out Moradi tours cancelled the trip. We were very disappointed.
We are very sorry, sometime it happens, we try to connect to the custromers asap, but sometimnes the customers can't read in time the message. MS
