Words cannot convey how much we enjoyed this trip! The scenery, food, experiences were all more than expected. Pete was a wonderful tour guide. We were always on the go, but at a perfect pace. Top priority was to enjoy yourself and take in the beauty of Italy. Just sit back and enjoy the fine food and wine.
