5.00Riccardo curated a fabulous day- he provided wonderful knowledge of Verona and tailored it to our interests, and brought us to a small family owned vineyard. The tour and tasting were fabulous. Highly recommend for a day trip from Venice.
Best tour EVER!!!

5.00Ricardo treated us like family. NEVER have we had a tour we enjoyed so much. We started with a tour director and left we a lot of knowledge and a friend. The location and quality of the wine exceeded all our expectations .
Wonderful tour of Verona and Valpolicella and Amarone wine tasting

5.00Our guide Riccardo was excellent. He drove us from Venice to Verona and informed us on the way about the area we were passing through. When we got to Verona he led us on a walking tour and showed us much of the beautiful and historic city center. Then we were driven to a winery that has been in the same family since 1460. We were given a tour of the vineyard and some of the work areas of the winery, followed by a light lunch paired with tasting delicious Valpolicella and Amarone wines. Everything was perfect.

5.00Riccardo was the perfect host and I’d give this trip 10 stars if I could! The day was very well organised and met all of our requirements fully. Riccardo’s knowledge of Verona and surrounding area was impressive as was his knowledge of the Valpollicella wine region. The tours of Verona and of the winery were exquisite! Lots of fun was had too! My wife and I would go on this trip again in a heartbeat. Many thanks Riccardo it was a wonderful day!

5.00Our guide was excellent - professional and very informative. He told us about the regions of Italy which we were driving through. He guided us around the highlights of Verona again keeping us well informed. And finally, he was very knowledgeable about the wines we were tasting and the foods they would best accompany. We thoroughly enjoyed the day from start to finish.

5.00Riccardo was an amazing host and tour guide. Tour Part 1: Incredible knowledge of Verona and the amazing history of the city and its citizens. Venice is nice to visit, but so much more enjoyable when combined with tour to Verona. Tour Part 2: Wine country tour experience was more inclusive than multiple visits to Napa Valley. History of growing process, origin of grapes and historical perspective of Amarone wine. Our wine country visit culminated with a walk in Gamba’s Vineyard and thru the barrel and aging process and to a sampling and food paring experience. 1st class treatment by our host and his arranged tour highlights. Highly recommend this experience.

5.00What a beautiful day visiting Verona and Gamba winery with Riccardo! We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Riccardo who was very knowledgeable in both wines (he is a sommelier!) and history of the region. We can’t wait to return and do the Prosecco tour next time!
