I went on a tour of an organic farm in Imola and the castle in Dazzo with Elise, who is a fantastic and knowledgeable tour guide and a delightful person. She seemed to enjoy spending time with the goats, sheep, pigs, cows, and horses as much as I did, even though I'm sure she has been there many times before. I am a historian with expertise in the history of crime and I was particularly appreciative that Elise was able to answer my questions about the punishment/torture areas of the castle. There is a small wine bar in the castle's basement, and Elise recommended some fantastic wines for me to taste - she clearly knows a lot about the regional wines, which was helpful for me because I like to try things that are produced locally. You should book this day trip with Elise - you will be happy you did!

My wife and I had a great experience with our host Elise over the course of 6-7 hours in Dozza (including a great place for lunch) and at the Cesari Winery (impressive place and also friendly/well-informed hosts). Everything throughout the day was well planned and well organized by Elise. The village of Dozza was a nice change of pace from city life in Bologna too. The main point I want to make is that Elise was fantastic, knowledgeable and comfortable to talk to. We simply connected well with her and loved the open/honest conversation and perspective she shared on wine, travel, etc. Hated saying goodbye at the end of the day! Overall, we highly recommend booking this or any other tour package offered by this company!  Excellent work and much appreciated!

Elise was wonderful what an experience. We got to see some stunning views, enjoyed great food and drank excellent wine. Book with them if you won't regret it

We had an amazing day with Philipo. He picked us up and drove us to multiple wine tastings experiences. We toured wine cellars, production of wine, olive oil mill and tastings. The town of Dozza was really unique. We toured the Castle, as well as, more wine tasting in the cellar of the Castle. Philipo went above and beyond our expectations. Thanks again Philipo, our new friend.  Highly recommend!

We had a terrific fun day in the countryside with Filippo, joined by Elise and his father in law, a very capable driver. Brisighella was gorgeous and we learned the art of olive oil tasting. We learned a lot about the villages we visited and even caught a glimpse of Valentino Rossi walking the track at Imola. We had a delicious lunch and later a wine tasting in the cellar of the castle at Dozza (it has a dragon!) It was relaxing walking around the village art of Dozza and there is even a Mona Lisa on show, no crowds. It was great to get away from the city, the countryside is beautiful and Filippo was a wonderful guide. It was the perfect last day of our Italian holiday. Many thanks Heather and Terry

Filippo and his team are the best! We had 2 days scheduled starting with a pick up at the port. We had a wonderful guide thru Ravenna. Unfortunately circumstances changed our plans for the rest of the day and they couldn't have been nicer. On Sunday we had to make changes again and they were worked with us so that we could have a unique experience in Italy.  Filippo is so interesting and worldly.  A joy to be around.  You won't be disappointed! Just book them!

This tour was a great way to spend the day outside the city and see two beautiful villages. We were fortunate to have Ilaria as our guide. She was knowledgeable, full of interesting stories about the area and such a delight to spend the day with. If you are interested in local experience, with a local outside the tourist area, I highly recommend this tour with Ilaria!

Our tour with Filippo was amazing. He planned everything we asked for and the day was fun from start to finish. We enjoyed the scenery, olive oil tasting and an amazing lunch at a local restaurant.  This tour company is extremely professional from the planning to execution of a private tour. Highly recommend.

nothing but positive things to say! Filippo is incredible—we did the medieval villages tour and it was incredibly beautiful, I loved absolutely every element of it! Highly highly recommend this can't-miss experience
