“This was a wonderful tour - our guide Raffaele was very knowledgeable. We were a group of 9 people (this was a private tour) and staying in a Villa in the countryside outside of Lucca, and the tour operators went out of their way to collect us directly from our Villa in a minibus, even though it was in the complete opposite direction from Lucca to the vineyard. The vineyard itself was a beautifully run family business and we experienced sunset in the vines sipping wine and snacking on homegrown produce.”
