“It was wonderful. Daniel and Marco were terrific. My dad had mobility issues and wasn’t able to ride a Vespa. My mom and I tried and felt too nervous to drive them. Because the Tuk Tuk was being used on another tour, they could not accommodate us, so they recruited another driver and let us be passengers on the back of their Vespas for the tour. It was actually better because we got to enjoy the beautiful scenery and not worry about steering or traffic. They took videos of the experience. The food at the lunch and wine tasting was delicious! Highly recommend. These guys are terrific!”
