    Had great fun with Fulvio. He is a wonderful, knowledgeable and gracious host. Walking around he would be greeted by locals and friends, testament to his knowledge of the area. He was a lot of fun and easy to speak to. I would do this tour again just to hang out with him. He also has a home cooking tour which I would love to do.
