Our guests say it all

It was like going on holidays with a group of friends. It just happened that two of them had a knack of picking great restaurants, great places to visit and the ability to jump queues when required. The sharing of information by both Mario and Gianni throughout the tour enriched our experience. It was well balanced and with easy going tolerance for those who wondered off to take photos.

Grand Tour of Italy

What a wonderful way to see Cinque Terre - your personal style together with a passionate love for Italy provided the value-added experience for the group. Loved the combination of train and ferry ride to see the 5 towns and plenty of opportunity to walk through at our pace. Excellent accommodation and a highlight was the cooking demonstration. Thanks again. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Northern Lakes & Dolomites

We loved every minute of the tour. Thank you for showing us 'your' Italy and sharing your passion for the arts, architecture, food, wine and people. It was everything we wanted in a tour - structured without being over the top. It all felt so comfortable, like we were travelling with friends who just happened to know the lingo, the country and great places to eat! Thanks for your great company and sense of humour and of course your excellent driving skills!!

The Best of Tuscany, Umbria & Le Marche

The tour provided a great opportunity to discover and experience traditional methods of producing cheese, balsamic vinegar, prosciutto and tortellini. The tastings and restaurant meals were fantastic! A tour highlight! The positive, friendly environment you create on your small group tours makes the experience so enjoyable.

Culinary Delights of Tuscany & Bologna

Thank you for squeezing me in at the last minute. Le Marche was a place on my bucket-list, and I was not disappointed. I was extremely impressed with the content of the tour. Our guides were very knowledgeable, patient and welcoming. It was a region I knew little about but Viny made it an unforgettable experience for me. The food served in the many restaurants on our journey was delicious and very traditional. The pace was perfect. You conveyed a passion for this region and I am now a convert.
