Fabulous day! Do this hike!

Sheila_H, Nov 2024

Great host, organized pickup, day plan, etc. Very knowledgeable about all things: history, geography, agriculture, etc. Very good hike leader, pace was set appropriate for us. Trails each provided great views & rewards for the climb. Hiking thru the vineyards & then above was amazing! He was prepared & conscious of our safety at all times. He even took pic of US & points of interest & the scenary. Then forwarded to me via Dropbox. He made sure we didn't miss any of the views. Good car & good driver as well. Pickup & dropoff as planned.

Michael was an excellent guide. Provided umbrellas since it was raining. It was a fun day hiking around the vineyards and up to the castle. I would highly recommend this hike. Michael was knowledgeable about the history of the area. We had a nice stop at the end for a snack. Great day!!!!
