We had a wonderful morning with Gaia. She kindly collected us from our Siena hotel & drove us (very skilfully) to Il Pino, a beautiful organic farm & vineyard near Poggibonsi in the Tuscan countryside. We enjoyed a short walking tour of the farm seeing olive trees, vineyards, sheep & cattle. An incredible panoramic view towards San Gimignano was a highlight. An early lunch of delicious farm produced & homemade olives, bread, delicious olive oil, cheeses & cured meats plus pasta & Pappa al Pomodoro was served to us by Mannino family members in there fabulous kitchen / dining loft. We tasted the wineries two wines & particularly enjoyed the Chianti. After coffee & a fond farewell Gaia drove us back through the stunning & picturesque countryside to Siena. Gaia was great company & very easy to talk to. The conversation flowed effortlessly. A fabulous trip.
Mariagrazia did a wonderful job driving us up and down the coast! She picked us up at our hotel in Sorrento and drove us to Positano, Amafi and Ravello. She is very knowledgeable, sharing history, culture and fun facts about each city. She gave us time to wander in Positano and Ravello. We stopped at a lovely pottery store and had lunch at a friend's restaurant. We didn't really have anything specific we were wanting to see or do, but I know she will customize for you if you have something in mind. I'm so glad she was driving-the roads/drivers are crazy compared to in the US. Would highly recommend Mariagrazia as a guide!
We had a wonderful and relaxing day with Rita, seeing the medieval villages of Montesarchio and Sant'Agate dei Goti. It was great to get out of the city and see the countryside and villages that we certainly wouldn't have found on our own. She took us to a wonderful lunch overlooking the Taburno mountain in between the stops, making for a nice, relaxing pace. Rita has excellent English and is a wealth of knowledge on local history as well as places to visit, eat, and drink, giving us some good suggestions for our evening back in Naples. It was also a great experience to get to know a bit about Rita and her family. We felt like we were spending the day with a local friend. Thank you, Rita!
Gaia brought us to a small family winery. We toured fields, cellar demonstrating production, and had tasting with homemade treats. Loved the wine and olive oil. Shipped wine and oil to USA.
