The four of us booked this tour with Meet Piemonte. They sent us the addresses of the two wineries which we would have never found on our own and a list of things to see in the area. Gorgeous cellars, both owners where so personable and treated us like family. Lunch was a starter, ravioli and dessert, not a huge meal but enough to carry on until dinner and great pairing with the wines of the first winery. We had some time in between wineries so we went to one of the big benches they recommend us and we took photos and enjoy some sunshine. This region is stunning and we will come back.

Six of us booked a private tour through Rome Private Excursions. Jonathan was wonderful to work with in planning our tour & answered each & every email promptly. Our guide was Max & we loved him. He was a walking encyclopedia about Roman history. And he & my husband we’re happy to realize they both attended Oklahoma University...Boomer Sooner!! If you want a wonderful day filled with history & seeing a few off the beaten path sights as well, then request Max. (Max is in the light blue shirt in the middle)
