On était bien encadrés par deux guides. Ils nous font passer un test avant de partir. Si on n'est pas assez à l'aise, ils nous offrent d'être passager avec l'un des guides ou de conduire une Fiat Topolino. Vous pourriez être déçus si vous vous attendez de faire de la Vespa. Dans notre groupe, près de la moitié n'était pas en Vespa. J'ai trouvé que le guide allait parfois très vite pour des touristes qui ne connaissent pas les lieux et les habitudes de conduite. Le repas et la degustation de vin se passe dans un vignoble tout près du point de départ/arrivée. C'était très bon !

Quality small van with our driver guide Haider. Only 5 of us in group so was very personal. Siena guide was excellent, very well versed and shared many interesting points. San G is a beautiful town and easy to love. Dinner at the winery after a tour and tasting was also very hospitable and good to share a meal together. Great day out.

Es war eine schöne und lustige Zeit. Der Kochkurs war sehr spannend und Marcello gab uns Tipps und Tricks. Sehr empfehlenswert und eine gute Abwechslung zwischen kochen und Markt.
