BOUTIQUE TOURING EXPERIENCE

With a highly trained and qualified guide, you’ll be taken on an exploration of the countryside, the streets of the local towns (including the iconic Cortona and the majestic Montepulciano), where you’ll get to savour the traditional tastes and enjoy the finest of wines.
Some of the landmarks on your trip date back to the early 13th Century, so for fans of ancient locations, traditional attractions and everything in between – this is the tour for you.
As if all of the above doesn’t sound exciting enough; you’ll also get to enjoy a world-class cooking lesson with an Italian chef, where you’ll get to create a 4 course meal and enhance your culinary skills in the process.
Your tour will also take you to the famous Lake Trasimeno, as well as allowing you to explore medieval towns, walk through vineyards, and capture stunning panoramic photos. If you’re worried about driving your moped, we can even have a driver take the handles on your behalf.
As a personalised package, this can depart on any Saturday requested subject to availability.
