Summary:
My daughter and I had the best day trip with Emma and Alessandro as our guides! They offered a perfectly paced day tour to all 5 villages with time to explore each on our own. They provided options for all interests and energy levels and we loved how they gave us a bit of history some and recommended spots for wine, gelato, etc. it’s a full day but well worth it. I would do another Walkabout tour for sure!
