Everything was perfect! The hotels, and the tour guides and even the drivers were all wonderful, exactly as decribed and on time everyday. We loved the hotel in Cinque Terre, The Hotel Porto Roca, with the balcony overlooking the sea and town. We hiked the hills and enjoyed the free time shopping and exploring. We enjoyed the beautiful Cathedral complex of Pisa and had enough time to eat lunch where Maria recommended, overlooking the leaning tower. The central location of Colle Val D'Elsa was very nice to be able to drive to the hill top towns. The choices of wineries were all amazing, with views, history, delicious wines and food also. We loved each one and learned that 2 in one day was too much! Our favorite may have been Colle Bereto. They were so hospitable, and had top quality organic wines & olive oil. They even showed us the pasta being made for our lunch that day, delicious! The amazing landscape and historic hilltop towns were beautiful, we loved getting lost in these towns, and eating gelato along the way. Lucia was very accomondating in every way, even when we had a change on the last day of tours. We will recommend KimKim and it's tour companies, and plan to travel with them again. Maybe Austria? Thank you and Ciao!!

Our very nice driver with Maria, our guide, arrived on time to travel to Pisa. Maria was very informative and sweet and explained all about the Catedral complex. It was all so beautiful and amazing.

Beautiful drive, and our driver was wonderful. The Chiappini Winery was so beautiful, we even were able to meet the owner. We enjoyed delicious organic wines, and a wonderful meat and local cheese tray. We purchased a case of wine to be shipped home. Wonderful!
