I also very much enjoyed Luca’s company. I had a blast talking to him and learning about the area and their family history in the area. I was traveling by myself and was a bit nervous about doing an experience alone but Patrizia and Luca were so friendly and made me feel at home. Thank you for an amazing evening!”
