The rain adds a romantic touch to the rolling vineyards, making the wine tasting experience even more memorable. The tour includes a light lunch, which, as one reviewer noted on 2023-11-12, turned out to be a sumptuous five-course meal with perfect wine pairings.

Under the Tuscany Sun - I have used a lot of drivers in Tuscany but hands down Maximo was the best. Everything was perfect. I was concerned about lunch and left it to them. They told me it would be a light lunch it was a five course meal with pairings. Wineries were all different but all deserve 5 stars. Never rushed beautiful day and lots of fun with Maximo.

A Day of Discovery: Cinque Terre and Pisa

The rain adds a mystical quality to these ancient sites, making your visit even more unforgettable. As one reviewer shared on 2024-10-06, the experience is nothing short of breathtaking.

Great experience - Cinqueterre is breathtaking! GO! Our driver was courteous, professional, knowledgeable and accommodating. He made visiting the villages easy. We also squeezed in Pisa and made it back to the boat on time. Beware that the optimal route is to take a train between the villages which is an additional expense. Loved the trip.
