“The two of us were the only people on the tour. So, it was a private tour. We are grateful that GYG did not cancel for that reason. Our guide, Matteo, treated us like visiting friends and gave us special insight to all of the interesting stops on the tour. He was terrific. Thanks Matteo. Thanks GYG.”

The view and home were beautiful, the food was great and the recipes were simple. The wine and olive oil were also SO good! Cannot wait to make our own pasta and focaccia when we get home.”
