Important notes

- Please note that in accordance with Italian law and for the car insurance to be valid, before the experience starts you will be required to sign a brief car rental agreement, where also our driver will be mentioned. Just to clarify, you will not be held responsible for any damage to the car or driving-related issue (as you won't be in fact driving the vehicle), and this is just to grant insurance coverage for the participant's safety.
- When showing up for the tour, please dress according to the weather conditions. If rain is predicted, bring rain gear! We do not automatically cancel the tour due to rain - you may cancel if you want to, or reschedule space permitting. In addition to this, you will want to bring your sunglasses, camera hat and sunscreen and be prepared for an active day out in the Tuscan countryside.
