We had a fantastic experience traveling with Andrew. The Harvest Tour exceeded our expectations. I would encourage anyone to visit Slovenia and Croatia-beautiful scenery and people! A great value too!
This was an absolutely fantastic trip, and we couldn't have asked for a better tour guide than Lisa, who has made this area her home for many years. She was so knowledgeable, as well as warm and kind.
The food and wine were incredible, and I loved going to spots frequented by locals. We were given a warm welcome everywhere.
It's hard to pick out highlights, but I would have to say I loved our walks in the countryside, with incredible views, and our truffle hunt with our four-legged guide.
It was so nice not to have to pack and unpack. Our Torino hotel was near the market, and our 7 day stay was at a Cuneo hotel which combined old world charm with modern conveniences.
Torino, while a big city, and Cuneo, much smaller, don't seem to have been discovered by many non-locals, yet they both have incredible assets--beautiful architecture, gorgeous scenery, great food and wine, castles, gardens, etc. I would suggest going there before too many outsiders discover their charms.
Highly recommend.
This was a wonderful trip as all are when Sarah of Adventures with Sarah is leading. Our group of 16 included wonderful people. It was great getting to know them. Our accommodations were grest-good food, close to everything, very clean and exceptional service. We experienced sights that the normal "tourist" does not see or do. I can't recommend this staycation more highly.
This trip was a great introduction to Rome. The hotel was comfortable and in a fantastic location - on the edge of the Forum Archaeological park, near the Capitoline Hill and a 20-25 minute walk from many other things we wanted to see. Rome has such treasures!! While the tour itself avoided the most crowded tourist destinations, we had a wide variety of experiences and saw some spectacular art and architecture. The tour was organized so that there was a balance of planned activities and free time, which also enabled us to explore on our own. But the biggest strength of the Staycation was the guides: Sarah and the other guides she brought in did a fantastic job helping us understand what we were seeing, and of bringing the history to life.
