Spending the day with Annarita was absolutely incredible. Her knowledge of and passion for this magnificent part of history is unmatched. We were having such a great time connecting with her that our time went by so quickly. We’ll be requesting her for future tours in the area, for sure. We’ll also be returning to the palace now that we have a better understanding of its history. Treat yourself to this very special experience!

Absolutely the best day I had while visiting Italy. Angel was our guide for the entire day. At the first winery we had the pleasure of starting the visit with a tour of the vineyard in a horse-drawn cart, followed by a fantastic lunch with km0 products. Visit to the village of Suvereto and finish with more wine in a family winery where they create one of the most appreciated wines in Italy. I can say with certainty that this day was one of, if not the best day of our vacation in Tuscany.

Wish we had read the reviews before booking. Palermo is quite small and most the main sights are very central, so you don’t really need a bus tour. However, even if you are not keen on walking, the bus tour will be of little use, as the advertised ‘hop on, hop off, every 20 minutes’ is simply untrue. The bus only arrives every 90 minutes (we lunched in a restaurant next to the stop we alighted from and that was the time gap). In addition, there is no access to a live map for bus arrivals, so you have no idea when the next bus will arrive. In a nutshell, it’s a rip off.

10. Cinque Terre walking tour with local wine tsting

Via Antonio Discovolo, 290, 19017 Manarola SP, Italy Doin

Walk above the village of Manarola, in the heart of the Cinque Terre, among its terraced vineyards, discovering its millenary tradition of wine culture and work. Here, wine production has always meant a sense of sacrifice and self-denial in total harmony between land and sea. Here, man's work took place in communion with nature, with the construction of dry stone walls that have withstood a thousand years redesigning the landscape and the base of winemaking. Here the work breathes the sea and is transformed into nectar that tastes of the sea, and of the magical fusion of Mediterranean aromas. After a short guided walk, discovering the technique, the history, the nature of the Cinque Terre vineyards, you can enjoy a wine tasting offered by a local producer.

Inclusions: Soft driinks, Alcoholic Beverages

Exclusions: Tranports
