“My wife and I had a fabulous week in 2004 staying in the village of San Quirico d' Orcia in Central Tuscany and being shown the hidden delights of the area by Barry. Thanks to Barry's local contacts, knowledge and personal attention we had a wonderful time exploring the sights not usually seen by visitors to Tuscany.”- Bill and Carol Joyce, Middle Park, Vic.
