  Visited many beautiful places. I particularly enjoyed Voltera and would have liked to spend one more niggt there. Romulus, our driver was amazing as was Daniele. There were many highlights not mentioned in the brochure such as the Theare of Silence. I particularly enjoyed the oul tasting. It would have been even better had we been able to see the actual harvesting. The cooking class was ok but it felt more like a demonstration and the food was very basic cooking. Il Pallagio, where the demonstration took place, really needs to be changed from the tour as no one in the group enjoyed staying there. My room was damp, smelly with mould on the ceiling. The shower was disgusting.

  My husband and I totally enjoyed TuscanTreats! It was our first tour as well as our first trip to Italy and did not disappoint! The countryside, the villages we visited, the accommodations, and the food were wonderful! Max did a great job guiding us with his knowledge and great sense of humor- we would definitely tour again with him!

  Our tour was fantastic. The tour was planned very well, giving us a great introduction to Tuscany. The pace of the tour was great, leaving us plenty of time to do things on our own. The time we spent with our tour guide Madeleine was superb. I can't imagine a better guide. She was knowlegeable, able to answer our questions and to do so in a charming way. The anecdotes she shared brought extra insight to the things we saw and experienced. We never traveled as part of a tour group before. Our experience made us eager to do more tours with tourradar again. Our bus was comfortable and our driver was very professional. My wife and I highly recommend tourradar.

  2 years on we're still taking about our Tuscan Tour with Flavio as if it were yesterday. So many great memories it's hard to name a highlight. As a traveller with Coeliac Disease though, eating safely is a huge challenge and Flavio took care of my meals in advance at every venue. The food was so much better than I had hoped for and I remained very well on the entire tour. We have toured a number of times in Europe and can say without a doubt this was a best tour and Flavio our best guide

  Tuscan Treats in April was amazing! I celebrated my 50th with an amazing group of travellers, enjoyed seeing and tasting the wonderful treats of Tuscany with my 18 year daughter and can highly recommend Flavio as the guide. He was fabulous, informative and engaging which really helped the group come together as a family....bring on 2020 adventures.

  So lucky to have Flavio as our guide on my first trip to Europe. As I was travelling on my own I was quite nervous but Flavio put us all at ease and I felt as if I was travelling with family. His knowledge and professionalism made the tour an experience to remember.

  We loved the tour...it was well organized to ensure we maximized our time. Our guide Flavio was wonderful, he was knowledgeable, engaging and really made the tour special. Our driver Renato was very professional and accommodating not easy with a large group. Overall we were thrilled with our choice and will book another backroads trip in the future hopefully with Flavio and Renato!

  The tour was exactly what we wanted. It took us to the places we wanted to see, provided the experiences we were after, in a small group with friendly and expert assistance. However with Flavio as our guide, we were provided with even more than we expected: he taught us the language, suggested further activities and restaurants and ensured that we developed the passion for Italy that he has (as well as the passion for travelling). In our particular case, Flavio even organised medical assistance and took a trip in an ambulance to the hospital where he remained with us for several hours at night to act as our interpreter. For this we will be forever grateful. We cannot recommend Flavio highly enough. He has a great sense of humour and encouraged us to have fun, but he was also professional and caring.
