– What do you think about franciacortatour.com website? Are the packages and the proposals clear?

Honestly, it was a while ago but I do not recall feeling that anything was unclear. The emails back and forth were the most helpful part.

– How your experience was with assistance during the booking process?

Excellent, good communication

– Did you enjoy the Franciacorta area and the wines?

Loved it. We were already familiar with the area, maybe a bit unusual for Americans.

– How did you evaluate wineries and restaurant?

A good cross-section of wineries. Lunch was very good. Enjoyed the location and food

– What do you think about your tour guide during the day tour?

Great job. Really enjoyed him. He was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Really wanted us to tour and appreciate the wines

– Do you have any suggestions to give us to improve ourselves?

My only thought would be to provide a list of what wines are available in the US through what distributors. While your shipping service was an option, it still adds a good bit to the cost. That said, your group did a great job and I would be happy to recommend you to others.

Hi Marco,

Hope you are well. We just wanted to say a massive thank you for our tour on the 9th. We had such a lovely day and felt very welcome and at home throughout the day.
Just wanted to let you know we had a bottle of Franciacorta Saten on our last night (they had multiple Franciacorta bottles on the wine list!).
We only had fish (Diego had recommended Saten) and it was a perfect match!
We’ll definitely be recommending the tour to our friends and family, and hope to see you in the near future.

Many thanks,
Andrew and Esther

Highlight of our trip. Highly recommend!

We contacted Marco pretty last minute for a private tour for 7 people.
He was exceptionally responsive and organized through email and made booking very easy!
A private car picked us all up in Milan and brought us to one winery in the morning, lunch, and one winery in the afternoon.
The wine was delightful, the portions hearty, and the food delicious.
I would highly recommend this experience to anyone traveling to the area.
Thank you, Marco!

Thanks a lot for organizing a fantastic tour for our family last Friday in Brescia/Franciacorta.

Thanks!

Group Trip to the winery

My friends and I visited Milan for the first time. One of the activities that we wanted to do is a winery. The Franciacorta Winery Tour was not a disappointment.
Marco picked us up from our hotel in Milan. We visited two wineries and had a lovely lunch. Although it rained during the tour, the rain did not stop us from having fun.
I would highly recommend the tour. Marco was our guide. He was very attentive. We learned a lot from him and enjoyed our time with him.

Excellent, informative wine tour

We very much enjoyed our time in the beautiful Franciacorta region & this tour definitely helped to acclimate us to the area & educate us about the local wine, with which we were previously unfamiliar.
Marco was our guide & he was very friendly, knowledgeable & reliable. We were able to customize our tour based on our schedule.
He picked us up from our hotel in a comfortable, air conditioned Mercedes van. Our tour consisted of visits to two beautiful wineries, Mosnel & Bonomi, and lunch at an excellent local restaurant. The wine was amazing & both wineries provided informative tours, in English, & generous tastings.
We did not feel rushed & everyone seemed genuinely excited to accommodate us. Unfortunately, due to import restrictions & shipping costs, it was not practical to ship wine back to Florida, so we had to satisfy ourselves with purchasing several bottles from each winery, which we happily enjoyed over the next several days of our travels!
The cost for the tour was very reasonable & Marco was prompt & accurate in communicating with us, via email, in advance. Would definitely recommend if you are in this locale. Bravo Marco!

We had a wonderful time! See my answers below:

– What do you think about franciacortatour.com website? Are the packages and the proposals -clear?

The website was very well designed and everything about the different packages was clear.

– How your experience was with assistance during the booking process?

Booking was very easy and fast…especially since we did this on short notice.

– Did you enjoy the Franciacorta area and the wines?

It was a beautiful area and a wonderful set of wines!

– How did you evaluate the wineries and the restaurant selected for you?

Both the wineries we visited were wonderful! I would go back to either if I were ever in the area again. Really, superb!

– What do you think about the assistance during the day tour?

Wonderful and better than expected. Keep up the good work.

– Do you have any suggestions to give us to improve ourselves?

Overall this was a wonderful experience that we won’t forget. I don’t think you need to change much. Perhaps trying to find a winery that pairs their wines with the different lunch courses would be better than going to a separate place for lunch? Just a thought.

Thank you for everything and we hope we can come back to that Franciacorta sometime soon!

Dear Franciacorta tour, Marco and Enrico,

We have a general comment that we are very pleased with the Tour, we have met interesting, knowledgeable people and learned a lot about the laborious wine industry. We will definitely return to this very nice area again. Your website is very good and we are very pleased with all the information we have received, and the gorgeous wines from your area.

Thanks again for very interesting day.

Regards,
Grethe and Jan
