It was a wonderful vacation. Our organizer Sam, tour manager Sergio and various city tour guides made sure that everything went well. The itinerary was a perfect mix of activities, sights, free time, wine tastings and food. Plus we had an incredible group of people who came together on this trip to experience southern Italy.

We had a great time! Great people to share the experience with, great food and wine, and good accommodations! I definitely recommend this tour and look forward to doing more in different areas in the future. We have our eye on the New Zealand tour early next year.

Cheers!

Sam/Crush Wine planned an extraordinary cultural immersion tour. The experience was awe-inspiring. Food was exceptional. Accommodations were impeccable, and the guides were extremely knowledgeable. The wine and the tastings were sublime. A truly remarkable, and memorable journey. I look forward to future adventures with our wine expert, seasoned and gracious host, Sam Kimball. Bravo!!!

Favolosa esperienza in Toscana. Ogni giorno un turbinio di panorami nuovi ed emozionanti, sapori enogastronomici e bei ricordi. Tutti i dettagli che non avremmo potuto fare da soli. Meglio di quanto avessimo mai immaginato, Grazie Mille Sam, Marco & Crush, Bruce & Lynne Robertson, Touring Tuscany, Oct. 13-20, 2024 (Fabulous Tuscany experience. Every day a whirlwind of new and exciting views, food and wine flavors and fond memories. All the details we couldn't have done ourselves. Better than we ever imagined.)
