The history of where we went. The guides were brilliant and the coach driver was brilliant as well. would recommend this tour to any of my friends.

I was so pleased with this excursion. I just wish we had more time to explore a couple of locations. After taking pictures and having lunch, time was almost up. Bathroom breaks were a little hard to time too. But over all, great value for the money

We absolutely loved our experience on this tour. The ticket pickup was fast, 15 mins. And the guides, Francesca, Alfredo and Steve were all great. We had a great time. They kept telling us nice fun stories throughout the way, and kept us entertained! The places are beautiful as well. The highlight was the cheese factory for us.
