We wished we could see Pope Francis but we could never expected we could see him so closely thanks to Rossana great effort. Rossana and our driver Luigi are both great persons and the visit to the Pope very well organized. They both were professional, supportive, engaging and very helpful. Rossana took really a great effort to make the visit tailored to our needs and she had great sense of humour. Big thanks to R and L. We would highly recommend this tour.

This was our first time on E bikes and we thoroughly enjoyed our morning tour of Orvieto. The bikes were great - easy to use and they whizzed us around the city effortlessly. But it was Elena's tour, which was informative, fun and comprehensive which made it such a memorable experience. We stopped at various viewpoints and places around the city and Elena gave us a wonderful insight into the history of this amazing place, as well as her personal recommendations of restaurants and things to do after the tour. Our tour included a visit to 'Orvieto Underground' which was also very interesting. We really didn't want the tour to end! We will definitely take another tour with Orvieto Bike Tours when we are back in Orvieto. I say 'when' and not 'if'; the bike tour alone is the only reason you need to visit Orvieto!

Amazing! What a wonderful and personalized experience. If you are into small, local wineries that are totally about making good wine, not lots of wine, then this is a spot for you. I just cant say enough good things about Leon, his vineyard and his take on the wine making process. Go for a visit, you won't be disappointed!

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 !
