This turned out to be a remarkable day but not because of what the website describes. We were picked up at our hotel and taken to Bergamo, which is a city, not a winery. Our driver was amazing but knew nothing of the city (which we didn’t plan on going to) and dropped us off at the entrance to a cable car. We went up, took some pictures, and returned to the car. Our appointment at the winery was 2:00 and it was 11:00. He took us to the winery hoping we could get an earlier tour but found not. The winery recommended that we go to a nearby town and have lunch, which we did. Iseo was lovely and we enjoyed out time there and meal. We then went back to the winery and had a marvelous tour before returning to Milan. As I said, a remarkable day, but more details of what the day entailed would have been nice.
Thank you very much Mason for your words, it will help us to get better in future. We really appreciate your time and we are glad it was a remarkable day. Please let us know if you need anything else. We are at your full disposal. Thank you once again. The Tour Travel & More Team
