His driving skills through traffic were amazing. He had a planned route but was happy to accommodate our specific requests … a bottle of wine (we’ll-priced at a grocery store), a shot glass (for our collection), and a sampling of the local focaccia bread (fresh out of the oven). Don’t miss this tasty local specialty, by the way. He even took us back to the ship! Highly recommend this tour!”
