We had an amazing experience with the help of the Best Rome Driver staff and our incredible driver, Salvatore. It was a beautiful day--perfetto! We customized the itinerary to go visit a special winery, Avignonese, which couldn't have been more lovely. This is our second trip exploring Italy with Best Rome Driver and we look forward to another one in 2024!

4 of us were looking for a relaxing day out of the Rome city limits and wine was on our mind. Our whole experience with the Best Rome Driver’s was first rate. Olena helped us set up our day. We selected a vineyard and Olena filled in the rest. The two wineries we visited we top notch. Great experiences. The cheese tasting was nice but not quite what we were expecting. If we did it again, we would have skipped the cheese tasting and took in another wine tasting. Now, I must comment on our driver. Michele was absolutely the best. His English was perfect. His driving was spot on. His knowledge of the countryside and enthusiasm to make our trip memorable was more than we could ever have expected. He truly made our drive and our day trip one of the highlights of our 24 days in Italy. We highly recommend Best Rome Drivers and would HIGHLY recommend Michele as your driver. You will not be disappointed.

Dopo un lungo periodo negli USA, sono tornato in Italia. Amo l’Italia, l’arte, la musica, ma soprattutto il cibo ed il vino Made in Italy. Grazie a Best Rome Driver e al suo team ho passato una giornata bellissima all’insegna delle degustazioni. Il mio driver Alex mi ha accompagnato nelle varie tappe ed esperienze di assaggi. Una guida sicura: questo è ciò che serve in questi piccoli viaggi. Fondamentale. Che delizia, il nobile di Montepulciano all’azienda Priorino. Alex mi ha consigliato il ristorante l’Osteria del Conte, Il pranzo era magnifico, il vino superbo. Ma ancora non era finita. Il Formaggio di Pienza…Wow! Sandra…. Che negozio. Wonderful cheese shop I formaggi.. la mia passione.
