We loved everything about this tour. First of all, we had a very knowledgeable tour guide, his name is Camilla. He provided us with very interesting information and facts about the Euganean region. We drove in a comfortable van. We visited two wineries and had the most amazing sceneries while driving around and visiting the wineries. We visited wine cellars and learned a lot about the process of wine making. The tastings were done in different settings and were all perfect! This tour over exceeded our expectations and I think it is worth every dollar! You won't be dissapointed. Thank you Camilla, for making this a very memorable tour!

This last Sunday of “quarantine” was to be fully exploited! Just few cars and spring sunshine, "Viaggiare Curiosi" rents wonderful e-mountain bikes that’d make my grandmother climbing a mountain! So I highly recommend to anyone to rent these bikes and take a ride on the hills, why? It’s super easy, also for a beginner! (Climbing with a normal bike it’s only for pros). High quality bikes and very attentive service (I had a punctured tyre but the emergency equipment allowed me to leave immediately = no stress), with a price accessible to everyone, complete the package of a beautiful afternoon! Grazie Carmen e Giorgio!
