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.
Fantastic trip. Wonderful agenda. Elaine, her team and her network of friends and artisans were fantastic. It was clear that a lot of effort was put forth in planning for our best experience. We are well traveled globally, but doing this Puglia trip on our own we never would have experienced the special agenda Elaine put together. Thank you Elaine!!!
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!
Especially thank you for arranging so many visits that we would not be able to do on our own - it makes your tours unique.
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!!
