Our guide, Nicolò, was wonderful. Gave us great background information everywhere we went and was very helpful throughout the trip. Really enjoyed the wine tour and our guide there as well.

Elia was so nice and answered all our questions on the area and the Franciacorta vineyards. He and Maria were very patient when we lingered at the wine tasting and really catered to our needs. We loved Bergamo and would’ve liked a little more time there but it was still wonderful. We will book a tour with them again.😁🎉🥂

Nicholi was a great guide. He did a great job explaining places along the way giving us a history lesson. Bergamo was a nice town to visit and not somewhere we ever thought of going too. The restaurant was delicious as well. The wine tour was nice and a great history lesson as well. We had a great time and appreciate Nicholi so much.
