Giuseppe was our driver for the day, and what a fabulous day we had. We didn't want to see architectural sites or cathedrals etc., what we wanted was a scenic drive on the coast and quaint little villages. We cramped a lot into the day and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you 😊

Giuseppe was a wonderful guide. He showed me all the places of interest that I hadnt visited before. That was his priority. Then booked me in to a restaurant where I had a lovely lunch. I highly recommend this tour

A very pleasant day in the company of Alfio and his super 500. Emotions, enchanting landscapes, history, and good food by the sea, all organized by Alfio, a discreet, polite and very prepared person.
