5.00Our driver Martino was simply the best. We were fortunate enough to only be two of us on our tour. Martino was so friendly. We exchanged stories and interesting facts, discussed movies that we all like, he even got his mother to give me her recipe for ricotta cheese! It was like we spent the day with a friend not just a tour guide!
Great Day in October

5.00Wow what an amazing day. Small groups are the best and our driver Martino made it even better. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable. His knowledge of the region was very informative. If you like to get a taste of different towns in a day this excursion is for you. The architecture of the region is beautiful. We visited a number of churches in the towns that gives you a nice snapshot of the area history. The time is not rushed and we feel we had time to see what we wanted. Views are amazing and this time of year the crowds are very manageable. Again a shout out to Martino who made it an amazing day. We highly recommend this tour.
Great tour

5.00We had an amazing day with Ricardo. He was much more than a driver, and explained many things during the entire tour. He also helped guide us through different areas to ensure we knew where we were going before he left us with time to explore. We particularly enjoyed the archaeological park. We did that first and it was really nice to see before the crowds descended.
Exceptional service
