Now the tour - we were picked up in a private, new and clean van directly at the train station. The driver was professional and gave us a feeling of safety. Our tour guide Lisa, was one of the best guides I've ever had on a tour. Warm, friendly and knowledgable. By the end of the tour we felt she was part of our family. The tour stops was everything we wanted. We visited the Parmesan cheese, Ham & Balsamic. At each one we were treated to samples that made us feel like we were in heaven. The lunch stopped at a small family run trattoria that was so perfect.
Every part of this tour was everything I dreamed of for the day and I would highly recommend it for anyone. I would also like to thank Maestro travel for a simple and professional experience.
