What to expect
Your driver collects you and takes the wheel whilst you settle in and absorb the landscape rolling past. You'll climb to several villages perched on ridges—expect to step out frequently for photos and short walks through village centres. The driver stops where it matters: a sunny square for coffee, a viewpoint where the entire valley spreads below you, perhaps a small shop selling local produce. Conversation flows naturally; your guide fills gaps with stories about who lived where and why these villages cling to hilltops. Lunch isn't included, but your driver knows spots worth eating.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes for village exploration. The route adapts to your pace and interests—tell your driver what appeals most. Bring sun protection and water. Public transport alternatives exist if you'd prefer independence; specialist car seats available for infants.
