We had a great time being out in the Apennines with Alessandro. He picked is up with his car at the trainstation of Reggio Emilia and from there we started our tour. Alessandro is a great guy. It really feels like you are out with a friend, even if you haven’t met him before. He shows great interest in his tourguests. It’s great to experience his enthousiasm and passion to show you his region. It is so genuine and you cannot help but get enthousiastic yourself about everything the region has to offer. I liked the diversity of the tour. We started in a cheese factory, and we ended with a hike. The fact that we were with just four people and Alessandro made it feel very intimate, and, again, like you are out with friends. The couple that was with us on the tour already invited me to their house in Italy! To conclude, I really recommend to go on a tour with Alessandro if you want to get to know the region and it’s food, nature and history and want to be in the company of great people!

Amazing day tour, especially if you want to get to see the countryside. Very accommodating and knowledgeable about the region's history. I definitely recommend adding on the lunch option the food was some of the best we had on our trip.
