What travelers are saying
"Loved the itinerary of this tour! So many amazing sites to visit and learn about on this great tour! One of my favorite places of the tour was Marta and the weaving! She is amazing! She showed and explained how the weaving is done! I absolutely was in aw of what she makes! Absolutely beautiful! I purchased a few of her items. I purchased a what we called a table scarf. It is absolutely beautiful cream color with words in Italian that mean a lot to Marta. It made want this and I couldn’t leave without purchasing it. I purchased book markers she makes. They are beautiful. She gives you a paper with the information about the product you purchased. My granddaughter knew about her work before I did. She signed a journal for her which I was not sure she would because it was an unusual ask.. Marta’s work is gorgeous and well worth the cost and beauty.
The Travel Director was amazing! He explained each day the way it would operate at the sites we were going to visit! Great local guides were also chosen by him! Food was amazing! Love the farm to table site and coking demonstration. We were unable to see truffle hunting due to an injury by the man. However they made it a great experience at site with wine tasting and tasting of other local items made from their vineyards. It was a wonderful unexpected experience
Absolutely loved the whole experience of this tour!"
