Could not ask for a better guide/friend in Italy. Your connections and knowledge are imeasurable.
It was beyond all of our expectations. Thank you for such an over the top introduction to Tuscany.
The itinerary that you put together for the group was nothing but spectacular! I especially enjoyed the balance between the culture, history and culinary tours and demos that you painstakingly put together. Also I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the variety of restaurants that you selected. Your efforts of combining Michelin rated restaurants with street vendors selling mystery meat gave everyone a true overview of the cuisine of southern Italy.
What a trip. Meraviglioso! Full of memories and fun. We know how hard you both worked to make this a success. And the group, who knew a Zen Buddist, a singer, a winemaker, and southerners could bond so well. BRAVO A TUTTI E DUE.
It was a wonderful trip and all of us learned so much about Sicilian cooking and way of life. Things we just did not know. You have such a variety of contacts that were so valuable in weaving together the interesting lifestyle of Sicily. We all have come away with a better understanding of that part of the world. Thank you for your guidance.
Elaine is so fun and knowledgeable to travel with! We enjoyed visiting all her local favorites, such a great way to travel!
We had a blast. The variety of stops and experiences were well thought out. The people we met, were unique and the "real deal". I never got the feeling they were big tourist sites. This was a trip I will never forget!!
