Tuscan wine tour
"I booked this tour as a surprise birthday present for my husband, an avid wine lover but, frankly, who wouldn't enjoy a tour centered around tasting and learning about some of the most famous wines in the world? The countryside is beautiful, the guide absolutely brilliant and the wines...well, there's just no one-word adjective that adequately describs our experience. A really wonderful tour!!"
