Ghazwan was wonderful. Very knowledgeable about the area. Would highly recommend you do this tour on your first day so you can see all the sites and then decide which ones you would like to go spend more time at. All stops give you ample time for photo opportunities, never felt rushed. We choose not to return to the hotel and were dropped off to explore more on our own after the tour.

Allessio was a great guide and we enjoyed that tour very much. Fortunately we got mountain bikes. It was more than eciting to learn about some of the places a foreigner never would find if not guided and never woud even find these places with a very typical story of ancient times. We enjoyed th tour even we had pain at........ the end of the days - but it was worthwhile. We learned about the road along tevere as well as we learned about mausoleums, about the Johanniter and their castle as well as...... a gret tour and - when You make the tour dont forget to take something to drink with you

Patrizia and Mauro are charming people, very friendly and flexible. We rented a Vespa 125CC for three days, it was reliable and enabled us to make the most our of our stay. Ideally located close to Termini station (5min walk), their prices are more interesting than those of competitors. I can only recommend Eco Move Rent!

We had been due to see Andrea Bocelli in concert, but obviously with the current restrictions that is simply not possible. Instead, we decided to take a tour tailored to our needs and organised by Alessio, the maestro's nephew. From the first email, Alessio was easy to deal with, quick to reply and luckily for us spoke excellent English. We started with our tour with Tony, who picked us up from our accommodation in an air- conditioned comfortable 8 seater. We drove about 40 mins to the beautiful town of Volterra for a couple of hours of sightseeing, including visiting an alabaster workshop and a coffee stop. Tony's English is perfect and he chatted and explained the sights and history as we walked - just the right amount of information offered to make the experience interesting but not too heavy. Then back to Lajatico for a brief wine tasting and a most wonderful 4 course meal ( coeliac catered for with no issues). Afterwards we drove around the family vineyards and stopped off at the Teatro del Silenzio ( movingly covered with flags apparently as a thanks to the health workers of the world) A most memorable day for us all, I would recommend it wholeheartedly , thank you Tony, Alessio and the Bocelli family.
