Booking should be done in advance. We recommend contacting us at least 3 months before your arrival, especially if you are booking a customised trip. Of course, we would do our best to satisfy your request also at a shorter notice but in high season (June, July, August) late bookings cannot be guaranteed.
The best months are in Spring and Fall when the weather is not too hot.
April, May, early June, late September and October being the best option.
Completely off the season tours are suggested also in Winter when the weather can still be surprisingly mild and there are very few tourists.
We usually avoid taking people around in the first three weeks of August when it is Summer high season over here. Places are packed and roads are very busy, especially along the coast and the heat can condition the visits to farms and vineyards.
This will depend on the number of guests. We supply comfortable mini vans or small buses.
