Giovanni and his team created a wonderful experience for my clients on retreat in Puglia. Learning to make pasta by hand and then being served the most delicious lunch was a highlight. More so the way Giovanni took care of us was so personal, we got an authentic Italian experience with a local Italian! He made us all feel very at home , this added value he especially for my American clients who were visiting Puglia for the first time. I will be hiring Green Italy Tours for future retreats knowing I can trust the level of care and connection on offer. An insiders experience of Puglia, what more to ask for!

What a great day with Stefano! We visited three different locations in the north of Leece. Stefan told us everything about the history of wine, the different grapes in Auplia and the production of wine. The wine tasting was absolutely fantastic. I hope we can do this tour once again soon! Thanks Stefano for this tour full of passion.

I went on this wine tour a few weeks ago and it was the highlight of my trip. Stefano is a fantastic host who has great knowledge of the area and the wine. I’ve been to quite a few wine tours around the world and I would recommend this tour. You get to really understand wine from this region and you also get to drink a decent amount of wine. I’ll be coming back for a longer tour with Stefano next time. Sharon
