I dont know if there are many tours to choose from in Assisi, but you dont need to look anymore, just book this one. This time in Italy we took a lot of guided tours and I can honestly say that Michele was one of the best guides we had ever encountered in Italy. Tour was informative, interesting and a pleasure to take part of. Highly recommended! Vytautas

Our Activity was A Virtual Wine Tasting of 4 Gorgeous bottles of Organic Wines !!! Ciao Annalaura - we all hope that you and your family continue to keep safe and well. First of all , thanks for successfully shipping your wines over for the Virtual tasting , we received the bottles within 10 days of shipment no problem at all - all arrived safe and sound. The virtual wine tasting was a joy and it was so nice to see and speak to you once again . It was fantastic just to sit back and enjoy the wines whilst we heard all about the making of them . We then proceeded to have a Geography , History and Philosophy discussion with your good self as you spoke about all your travels to America , your family heritage and your stories about organic farming and products - do you remember the discussion around “ Corn” manufacture in America. I say all of this because a Wine tasting tour with the Tili family is so much more than just a wine tour - you discuss so many things , your English is fantastico and your enthusiasm for your wine products and your family life in general is a wonder and a joy. Without any hesitation , to all you wine enthusiasts out there , book a virtual wine tasting tour now ! Why wouldn’t you want to enjoy the wonderful “fruits” of god’s creation together with some funny and enjoyable stories !!! Take Care all and really looking forward to coming over to Umbria in the Summer ( if you will have us after our 2 jabs ) and sharing some more wine , food and stories.

Ele was just fantastic. She met us at Piazza Navona and took us through some wonderful highlights of Rome. We really enjoyed her descriptions of the sites, the Caravaggios we saw in one of the churches and the coffee we got. She also gave us some great tips on where to shop for gifts and places to eat while we visited Rome. She was fun to talk to and listen to and we're so glad we had a chance to enjoy a personal tour of some of the city's highlights. Thank you Ele! Our original travel date was November 2018 but we loved her so much we wanted to talk about it again.
