Toni was a very good guide for us. The monastery portion was interesting and special. We then traveled to the Castle and really appreciated that Toni took us on an adventure up to the Castle, as it is a long trail through town. He is very knowledgeable, and the wine tasting was very good. I will say that this trip is not for the faint of heart, but it is well worth the climb, and the view from the top is special.

Hollis H

Was a wonderful tour. Toni was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. Would highly recommend. And suggest good walking shoes and water, as there is some hiking involved.

Leslie H

The food and wine were excellent, and the historical sites were phenomenal. There is a long and difficult uphill walk with many stairs to get to the historical sites, but the experience was worth the struggle. The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and informative.
