This tour was great. Our guide, Benedetta, was extremely accommodating to us. Neither of us drink alcohol and she made sure we were provided with beverages without alcohol. She was kind, considerate and funny while being informative.

Feliciano was SO AMAZING! He was so enthusiastic and knew so much about the history of the area. He had a witty sense of humor and made everything so interesting. The restaurants we visited had been operating for many years for good reason...the food and wine was so delicious.
