Claudia was wonderful! We enjoyed our entire day. It was filled with interesting information, amazing scenery and great food and wine. I think it was because of her our experience was that much better. Just perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide. I would highly recommend City Wonders! And if you are fortunate enough to have your day be guided by Claudia, that will make your experience that much more perfect. Thank you for an amazing day. We enjoyed it immensely!

He was great on the tour. Learned so much about the regions and the towns visited. It was so much fun at the wine tasting as he explained everything. He was very conscientious about my motion sickness from the wobbly bus we were on and kept checking in periodically. Was very kind of him to do so.
