“Under the Tuscany Sun - I have used a lot of drivers in Tuscany but hands down Maximo was the best. Everything was perfect. I was concerned about lunch and left it to them. They told me it would be a light lunch it was a five course meal with pairings. Wineries were all different but all deserve 5 stars. Never rushed beautiful day and lots of fun with Maximo.” (Reviewed on 2023-11-12)
