“I went on this tour with my husband. We had so much fun! Jason was an amazing guide. He was hilarious and so friendly. The two wineries we went to had wonderful tastings as well as delicious snacks. The wineries had beautiful views to take photos of (which Jason also helped with). The ride there and back involved incredible views and the driver made us feel comfortable and safe. Jason gave us information about Italy and also played music during the rides. Overall this was a highlight to our Europe trip. I would recommend this to anyone!”
