I couldn’t put correct date on this review - I did this tour with my two children in August 2019 and originally posted it then. I have had a message to say that I had posted it under the wrong company (one with a very similar name). I would like to re-post the review as we had such a brilliant day with our guide and would like to recommend the tour company to others whenever this type of activity goes ahead again! Our guide Ms Ivanova was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour took in many places around the city and we also visited the Uffizi in the afternoon. I was with my children aged 6 and 9 and both really enjoyed this day. They felt included and learned a lot. The guide met us at the times planned and gave plenty of opportunities for questions and were able to answer any queries. Everything was organised well and went smoothly. We were unable to book a tour inside the Duomo but actually this one which took us all the way around the outside and to other fascinating parts of the city was perfect for my family.

The lower Valle d'Aosta is one of the most renowned places for the production of wine. Among the highest mountains in Europe, the Valle d’Aosta Wine Route, called Route des Vins, wants to take you to the vineyards and wineries, telling you, directly from those who daily work the land with their own hands. Only passion can bear good fruit in difficult geographical and climatic situations, at altitudes where the sky touches with a finger. In e-bikes we will cross roads immersed in the vineyards in order to better understand the real difficulties of harvesting on steep terrain and to admire unique landscapes. At the end of the tour we will visit and taste the wines of one of the most renowned wineries of Donnas.

Looking down on the people they looked like ants Had a lovely picnic by the side of the mountain And the children built a snowman ⛄️ Well worth the trip One tip take a flask and a wee dram of whiskey as the wind was a chiller to the bones.
