Amazing! Learned so much! - Our guide, Guida, is incredibly knowledgeable about the area, its surroundings and history. Her passion for the city of Alba is evident. We learned so much from her. Enough to make isn’t to come back and explore more of the city and region! While on the tour we learned that Guida also did a walking tour to a nearby vineyard, so we joined that tour in the afternoon! Also amazing!!

Beautiful Alba with a fabulous guide - Margherita was a fabulous guide and is fantastically knowledgeable, accommodating and was amazing with our children (and all of their questions). The food is wonderful and the wine delicious. We would highly recommend this tour through the beautiful town of Alba.

Nice way to start you time in Alba - Great pace to learn a bit about Alba. The tastings were plentiful & Margarita was lovely. Small group of 10 was just right! The lunch was a perfect way to end our tour.

Truffle tasting was the... - Truffle tasting was the best. Guide was knowledgeable, friendly and English was very good. Food was delicious, but we would have liked more tasting of Alba wines. Overall it was a very nice experience.
