Doing what: Small-Group Cooking Lesson in Roman Countryside
This was a definite highlight of my time in Rome. Monica was an absolute gem, she is so enthusiastic about food and sharing her experience with tour participants. The location is magical with views over the river valley. The class was a great deal of fun and was hands on. Hand making pasta and local dishes was wonderful. The only drawback was there was too much food!!!! Everyone in the group was replete with good food and good wine and had a well deserved nap on the drive back to Rome. Thank you to Monica and our wonderful driver/kitchen hand for an experience to remember.

Doing what: Rome Food Walking Tour
this was one of the most fun (and informative tours) we've ever taken. We went to a part of Rome we've never been to, known as the 'foodie' part of Rome, and sampled food and wine of many different varieties. Sarah, our guide was amazing. This was not only great fun, but surprisingly educational. I'd do it again.

My husband and I loved this tour! We happened to be the only persons on the tour, so we had the tour guides all to ourselves. Our primary guide, Matteo, was training a colleague, Gianluca, on how to give the tour. Both of them were funny, polite, knowledgeable about history and wine – just overall really good people to take this trip with. I unfortunately wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t take advantage of the delicious wine and food, though I tasted it and could appreciate the high quality of everything they put out for us. My husband, however, thoroughly enjoyed the meats, cheeses, olive oils, etc., as well as the various wines served. The vineyards are gorgeous and the people there (including the owner at the first vineyard!) were incredibly gracious.
But, really, I can’t overstate how lovely Matteo was in his role as driver and sommelier. And easy on the eyes too! :-)
Definitely recommended for couples and groups of friends. I think it'd even be fun as a party of one. :-)

We had a fabulous time on this tour. Our tour guide, Steve, was very knowledgable and easy going, the wine and food was delicious, and the countryside was beautiful. If you enjoy wine tasting, I would definitely encourage you to try out this tour.

This was a fantastic tour with Monica as our chef and guide. We went in November which was low season and she picked us up cheerfully, even though it was only my husband and I, and we set off on a culinary/travel adventure. She is so lovely, knowledgeable, patient and kind. She asked what our goals and food interests were and then she developed a plan with us while driving to the country to fit our interests. My number one goal was to learn to make pasta and she taught me how to make artichoke/ricotta stuffed ravioli, lasagna with bechamel sauce, roasted pumpkin and sausage, and fettucine with wild mushrooms. I will never go back to box pasta. We also made a fantastic chicken dish with balsamic vinegar, bruchetta, roasted potatoes with rosemary and stuffed tomatoes. For dessert we made tiramisu. We chatted all day in the wildly unique environment-- an ancient but totally renovated house in the village overlooking the river-- great kitchen-- drank wine and learned a about food, the Italian culture etc. We were so spoiled by Monica-- we did have her all to ourselves, but I suspect she would treat everyone that way. She is a very hard worker. Fabio, the owner, is lucky to have her and so were we. Thanks Monica for your graciousness and a splendid day-- TC and Dennis

Walking tour was ok. Guide was nearly 20 minutes late and not much personality. Class was great -- memorable experience and wonderful food and wine. We highly recommend L'Amore restaurant for cooking classes or just dining.

The small group wine tour was a great experience. Our guide, Matteo, was very knowledgeable about the wineries and was able to take us around behind the scenes to see how the wine is made. The lunch was amazing - delicious foods pared with top quality wines. My wife and I have been on many wine tours before, in many countries, but this was by far the best one.

Doing what: Rome Walking Tour and Cooking Class
If you love to learn new things and have never had the confidence to cook pasta this is for you! We had an awesome half day with Mita. The wines and food were outstanding, not just because we made the pasta. The Rome Walking Tour was great to do in the early part of your trip as it gets your bearings and history intro into Rome. The five stars was due to the cooking class, a highlight of our trip. Fabio came to see us and we were very lucky that the class turned out to be just us two...vip class....

The cooking class was a wonderful experience. From the little tour as we gathered provisions for our meal to the last bottle of wine that we drank as we ate the food we prepared we had a wonderful time. Our chef was engaging and displayed his true passion for cooking. We were given the oppurtunity to prepare a wide variety of foods which was definitely a " hand on" experience. Even dessert back at his restaurant was a wonderful treat. Definitely worth the money and enjoyable for all levels of experience in the kitchen.

This was such an amazing tour, the best part of our northern Italy trip. The two wineries were amazing, the food was delicious and the wines were great. The trip to the wineries was beautiful and scenic, and once we arrived at each location we were stunned by the beauty that surrounded us. We learned so much from our guide, who was knowledgeable and fun. I would recommend this trip to anyone and everyone!

Our Tuscany Wine - Tasting Tour from Florence was excellent!! I think our tour guide's name was Marcel, he was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and well spoken. We came away from the tour with wine knowledge that we did not have before. We tasted execellent wine and food, the winery offered their best in all aspects! We would definitely take this wine tour again and will recomend it to our friends when they travel to Tuscany.
