After receiving your request, we will check availability and send you a quote with all the details.
To confirm, simply pay a 30% deposit (the balance will be required 15 days before departure).
If the date is very close, full payment may be required.
We accept bank transfers, credit cards, or Satispay.
The quote always has an expiration date, which is clearly indicated.

Can I speak to someone on the phone?

SlowDays communicates mainly via email. It is the best way to respond clearly, neatly, and quickly to every request.
Write to us at claudia@slowdays.it or fill out the form on the tour page: we will reply soon. Everything we discuss will remain in writing and available for everyone to see.
If we need to talk, we will assess whether this is necessary at a later stage.
We prefer this method because it allows us to manage time, quotes, and information effectively, ensuring a more accurate service for everyone.

Can I find out in advance which facilities, wineries, restaurants, and hotels are included in the quote?

Tour details will be communicated after confirmation and payment.
SlowDays is not a third-party portal: we personally organize each package, selecting the most suitable partners for style, quality, and availability on a case-by-case basis.

The exact details may vary depending on the type of event or package chosen.

Are prices fixed or can they vary during the quotation phase?

Our prices do not officially vary between high and low season: we maintain the same rates throughout the year.
However, it is worth noting that in autumn—the peak season in the Langhe—some facilities or services may apply surcharges that we are obliged to pass on. Booking well in advance is always a good idea! Furthermore, since each quote is personalized, there may be slight price differences depending on the accommodation or suppliers available at the time of confirmation. We always strive to maintain the best possible balance between quality, availability, and price. 🌿

Can I customize the tour? Can I add other experiences?

When you make your request, you can ask to customize your tour:

Incredibile tour a piedi di 4 giorni e ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo Incredibile tour a piedi di 4 giorni organizzato da Claudia e dal suo team: cosa possiamo dire ma perfetto dall'inizio alla fine. Le passeggiate tra i vigneti e in cima alle colline erano fantastiche, lo scenario era incredibile, il nostro alloggio a La Morra era perfetto perché non dovevamo spostare le valigie ogni giorno, i nostri trasferimenti all'inizio e alla fine delle nostre passeggiate ogni giorno erano fluidi, confortevoli e sempre puntuali . Anche i tour aggiuntivi del castello e della torre con pranzi locali inclusi sono stati un'esperienza fantastica. 10/10 a tutti i soggetti coinvolti: grazie a tutti i fornitori e torneremo presto.

Tre tour in Italia di Claudia Slowdays Vorrei farti conoscere i tre tour che ci hai fornito. Il primo è stato a Milano. Sara ha fatto un ottimo lavoro, anche se c'erano problemi al di fuori del suo controllo: l'ascensore salta fila per l'Ultima Cena non funzionava, quindi ho dovuto unirmi alla coda "normale". I taxi erano quasi impossibili da trovare. Ma ha fatto comunque un ottimo lavoro. Abbiamo apprezzato il tour dello straordinario Duomo di Milano. Il secondo (Torino) è stato piuttosto carino. Laura, la nostra guida, era molto ben informata e ci ha fornito molte informazioni sul tour a piedi. Era molto gentile e parlava abbastanza bene l'inglese. Ci ha fatto conoscere molte usanze locali di cui non avevamo mai sentito parlare prima. Laura è stata estremamente gentile e il suo inglese era molto buono. Il nostro terzo tour (delle cantine) è stato un gioiello. Claudio, il nostro autista, ci ha fornito un commento sulla zona mentre guidavamo da un posto all'altro. Ogni azienda vinicola era ben rappresentata. Le degustazioni erano tutte abbastanza buone. Per me il "pranzo leggero" è stato un vero pasto! Niente cena per me quella sera! Il furgone su cui viaggiavamo era pulito e confortevole. Le tre cantine che hai selezionato erano meravigliose. Volevo farti sapere che ci siamo davvero divertiti in ogni tour e abbiamo imparato molto sulla vita (e sul vino) in Italia. Grazie ancora. Hai sicuramente la mia raccomandazione!

Ottimo tour delle Langhe. Claudia di Slowdays ha organizzato una settimana in Piemonte per me e mia moglie durante la festa del tartufo. È stata molto reattiva a tutte le nostre richieste via e-mail e alle nostre varie modifiche. Abbiamo trascorso 2 mesi in Italia ma Claudia ha contribuito a rendere il Piemonte una destinazione in cui torneremo. Un punto culminante è stata la caccia al tartufo con Charlie e il suo cane. È stata una mattinata fantastica fare trekking tra i noccioli per vederlo scavare i tartufi, un tipo molto simpatico. Claudia ha anche organizzato tutti i nostri alloggi, ristoranti e autisti e tutto è andato liscio. Il nostro autista e guida per 2 giorni Gabrielle e lui sono stati assolutamente fantastici. Abbiamo visitato diverse cantine scelte da Claudia nel Barolo e nel Barbareso e sono stati i produttori di vino più appassionati nella maggior parte dei posti che ho incontrato. I pranzi erano fantastici e poiché la maggior parte delle cantine e dei pranzi eravamo solo noi due. Non posso raccomandare abbastanza Slowdays. È stato organizzato esattamente come lo volevamo, assolutamente su misura per noi. Claudia ha anche cambiato per noi l'orario di partenza con breve preavviso di domenica e questo è un servizio che raramente ricevi da nessuna parte. In conclusione, se desideri una visita guidata privata da single a gruppi di familiari o amici, questa è l'azienda da utilizzare. Claudia mi ha davvero stupito.

Excellent tour of the Langhe. Claudia from Slowdays organised a week in Piemonte for my wife and myself during the truffle festival. She was most responsive to all our email requests and our various changes. We spent 2 months in Italy but Claudia helped make Piemonte a destination we will return to. A highlight was the truffle hunt with Charlie and his dog. It was an awesome morning trekking the hazelnut trees to watch him dig for truffles, a most engaging fellow. Claudia also organised all our accommodation, restaurants and drivers and everything went without a hitch. Our driver and guide for 2 days Gabrielle and he was absolutely amazing. We visited several wineries chosen by Claudia in the Barolo and Barbareso and they were the most passionate wine makers in most places that I've encountered. The lunches were great and because we most wineries and lunches were just the 2 of us. I cannot recommend Slowdays enough. It was organised exactly as we wanted it, tailored absolutely to us. Claudia also changed a departure time for us at short notice on a Sunday and that is service that you rarely receive any where. In conclusion, if you want a private guided tour from singles to groups of family or friends then this is the company to use. Claudia really did amaze me.

Wedding Anniversary in Alba Claudia went out of her way to organize the ebike tour for my husband and I even though she was "closed" for logistics matters. It was a fantastic and breath taking experience cycling through the rolling hills of Langhe through La Morra and Barolo. The biking guide was friendly, attentive and made sure that we were "safe" every bit of the way. We also signed up for the truffle hunting tour. The truffle hunter was so passionate about his work. His dog Gigio even found a white and black truffle for us that day. Thanks to Claudia and her team, my husband and I enjoyed ourselves tremendously.

Superb visit to La Langhe! We spent 8 days between Torino and La Langhe in a tour organized by Claudia... we were two, world-travelled couples intent on learning about and tasting Barolos, Barbarescos, Barberas, Dolcettos and sparkling wines who also have a focus on food, local experiences (truffle hunt, cooking) and history of the area.Claudia's ability to capture her clients' needs is uncanny: we had both Michelin-starred and hole-in-the-wall, delicious dining experiences. She worked with us to ensure we visited key producers in Barolo, Barbaresco and Dogliani; accommodated last minute requests (which by the way, allowed us to meet Chiara Boschis in person!!), selected hotels of the level we expected, and works with an outstanding team providing all transfers (led by Nadia, who is not only a very pleasing person but also extremely knowledgeable about the area).This trip had been planned for March of 2020, we had to cancel it due to COVID. But the 2-yr wait paid off thanks to the extraordinary work Claudia and her team did. You will not be disappointed, she knows every nook and cranny in La Langhe, and is equally good at selecting the highest end restaurants and visits as she is in picking small restaurants and locally managed activities that are "must-do's"Superb experience!

A perfect day in wine country! I contacted Claudia only a few days before arrival and was so happy that she still had availability for me! Everything worked so smoothly, from the bike pickup to the tasting and the great stops along the way. The e-bike made the uphill climbs so easy - and gravity made the downhill parts lots of fun! I loved the tastings and the friendliness of everyone I met along the way. It was perfect!
