Intriguing towns but chaotic lunch

Deroda Mcgrath, 26 October 2025

Our guide and driver were professional and informative with a sense of humor. The lunch food was only okay and the wine tasting pairings were not explained well. The town walks were challenging but interesting.

Great tour!

Diane Ramsey-Paige, 12 October 2025

The tour was well organized and the guide was fantastic and Very knowledgable!! The pace allowed for ample time to explore and still make four stops. Would recommend!

Christine Selva, 08 October 2025

beautiful countryside, very poor meal

Larry Jantz, 26 September 2025

The tour was great for where it went for the stops. The lunch was very disappointing, the worst meal we had in Italy. Our tour guide was Semih. He was terrible. He walked so fast some of the older ones in the group could not keep up. He slept on the bus and provided very little information. The Orvieto and Bagnoregio stops were incredible.

Very disappointed, do not recommend

Dawn Furlong, 18 September 2025

While our guide was lovely and the bus driver was great as well, the tour was exceptionally disappointing. It felt highly commercialized & not authentic! Our stops at Orvieto & the 'Dying City' were really beautiful, but in between they brought us to this "market" where you were forced to walk through this labyrinth of stalls selling ridiculously marked up products, while a "non-Italian" woman spoke through a microphone like an auctioneer rambling on about 'deals & discounts'. You couldn't exit the market without walking through the cash line ups. We then proceeded to our "tuscan farm & vineyard" for an "authentic Tuscan lunch & wine tasting" -- we passed a gorgeous table outside set for maybe 20 people, but then were hurried through a scripted speech about "my sister is making you our homemade spaghetti right now" & then they shuffle us all into a giant cafeteria-like room with multiple huge tour groups (honestly probably 100 people in there), basically dropping food in front of us without explanation, pouring wine 'tastes' so fast & sloppy it would spill & the wine was not good, & no one was pleasant. A table beside us continuously was forgotten & we could see them all getting upset. When we were leaving we were again forced through a 'gift shop' where the products were so obscenely overpriced (imagine 55€ for a tiny pot of honey!). It all felt like a huge gimmick. The only reason the tour is getting 2 stars as I did feel our tour guide tried her best to make the experience positive, & the two scenic towns were very pretty (we enjoyed having free time at both). But we will never again book a large tour group like this again & do not recommend this tour.
