Reviews
very nice tour. vespa ride was good. little tiring. no need of international permit. your own country driving license enough.
We loved it 🥰 Victoria is a wonderful entraining chef that guided us through the whole process all the while giving us great tips to help us reproduce the pizza and gelato at home. Very happy with the results, delicious 😋 Oh and the wine served was very nice as well. Thank you 😊
Salvatore was an excellent guide. Polite funny and very informative about all the places we travelled on the trip. The transport was clean and comfortable and air-conditioned. We saw Erice before the crowds decended for the day. The tour of the winery was lovely and the lunch they served with tastings was delicious. I would highly recommend this tour.
