Most Inspirational Moment
So many to choose from - Learning about the contrada’s in Sienna - First vineyard walk and wine/ food tasting - the passion of the guide and his knowledge was great, only surpassed by the combination of his choice of ricotta (local farm produce) served with his olive oil, salt, pepper and his wine - sublime. Visit to Voltare. I could go on! The Spa trip, on the “down” day was brilliant, great place to relax.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Teresa, was everything you would want. A native - she could handle anything, dealt with issues well, was accommodating to my limitations. We had a relatively small group, 2 family groups, with a range of ages, but she managed to ensure we all enjoyed every day. Fabulous. On our “down” she arranged a spa day for us, where she took recommendations from local staff. It was brilliant.
Advice for Potential Travellers
I did more walking than I expected - we did between 10k and 15k steps on the guided tour days. Not a massive amount, but for some, with mobility issues, on the cobblestones, I found it tiring.
