Doing what: Small-Group Tuscany Wine-Tasting Tour from Florence
This was a terrific tour. We visited two distinct wineries with our host Tom. He was a wealth of information on the Tuscanny wines and brought us to a small boutique winery as well as a larger one. The tastings and accompany food were great. This was a great tour.

Doing what: Taste of Italy Food Tour to Chianti and Umbria from Rome
The tour was wonderful and the views were absolutely breath taking. Driving to Cortona you see these these amazing views of the Tuscan country side, once in Cortona we instantly fell in love with the charming town. After our visit in Cortona we drove to a local farm where we had lunch and got to purchase local wines and mixes for pasta. The food that the farm served was very good and homemade. After eating lunch at the farm we drove to Montelpuciano where we got to taste wine at Contuci Cantina, it was very nice here.

Doing what: Chianti Region Wine-Tasting and Dinner Half-Day Trip from Florence
This trip was one of the highlights of our time in Mexico. The castle/winery was breathtaking and the wine was delicious. We loved being able to stop and visit a couple small towns after the wine tasting. The dinner was not only delicious, we really enjoyed being able to dine with the other travelers and enjoy the traditional food of the area. Our tour guide was wonderful - both friendly and informative. I would recommend this trip to anyone (of drinking age anyway).

I had an amazing time on the tour. The wine and food was great, Matteo knew the answer to every question we had and the people in my group were great company. Couldn´t have asked for more!

My husband and I absolutely loved this tour, one of the highlights of our holiday! We went to two wineries, having lunch at the first one, where for the 'tasting' they were putting whole bottles of wine on our tables! The food for lunch was wonderful and more than enough. We have been on winery tours before in other countries such as in France and Australia, but we have never had a more informative and friendly guide as we had on this tour, nor as generous hosts. The second winery was more corporate and wasn't as great as we were given a few sips of only 3 wines, and honestly they weren't as nice as the first place but the garden at the second place was beautiful. I highly recommend this tour, an experience we will never forget!

Doing what: Rome Walking Tour and Cooking Class
The walking tour was brief but good - and that was handy because we just wanted to get to the cooking! Mostly it's just making pasta, but it's lots of fun (especially for families) and you get to eat great food (and drinks lots of wine) when you're done!

Doing what: Small-Group Cooking Lesson in Roman Countryside
LOVED LOVED LOVED this class/tour! My dad, sisters and I surprised my mom for her 70th bday with a trip to Rome. We were looking for something to do outside of the city and this was the perfect day! Not only is the village adorable, but the cooking experience was top notch. And, our chefs picked us up and dropped us off so we had plenty of time to ask questions about all things Italian/Roman! We enjoyed fresh food from the tiny grocery store and wonderful teachers to turn it into an amazing meal! We learned a great deal and still had plenty of time for wine and laughter. And we actually just made homemade pasta again while we were together back at home! Because there were only 5 of us in our group, the class was rounded out with a single traveler as well as a gap-year student and her parents. All of us (a variety of ages) had a fabulous time and left with full bellies! I would strongly recommend for families of all ages and sizes, couples, singles...anyone looking for a great Italian experience!

Fantastic day trip from Florence! Glass after glass of beautiful wine (Chianti Classico, Super Tuscan), great food and simply gorgeous scenery. Our guide Matteo was really knowledgeable and friendly -- telling us everything we wanted to know about the region and the wine-making process. We felt like proper wine buffs by the end of the tour!

We really enjoyed our wine tour in the hills outside of Florence. It was great to escape to the countryside and get a feel for just how much wine and olive oil is produced in the region. Matteo our guide was excellent … friendly, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the food and drink which form a key part of the Italian way of life. We visited two vineyards during the day, where they provided tasting sessions for their varieties of wine and olive oil. The food provided for lunch was also delicious. A great way to spend a day!! Big thanks to Matteo!

Loved, loved, loved, this tour. Cortona and Montepulciano are beautiful. Our guide was knowledgable of not only the towns themselves, but of the land, trees, and other towns along the way. The bus was crazy hot though, but it seemed like we were always warmer than most of the locals. The restaurant we stopped at was wonderful, quaint, the food amazing. I absolutely adored the old man at the winery. Amando or something. Overall a wonderful day trip, and a beautiful day.

Excellent trip to the countryside, the guide was excellent and tried so hard to give us a bird-seye view of the overall countryside! Food was excellent, no complains, for a day tour, and the wine was magnificent. In short, this was a good day trip for a short respite from the grandeur of Rome and its numerous visitors!

Fantastic! Not too many people going on this trip, which made it feel less like we were a bunch of tourists. Very easy with hotel pickup even though my hotel wasn't even on the list, I was picked up. The bus was very comfortable. My guide, Stefano, was great informative and personable! The locations were beautiful! The food and wine were wonderful! We were given time in each place to stop, shop and explore on our own, which was great! It was a memorable and delightful experience!

Italy wine and food tour was the highlight of our 2 week trip to Italy. The tour guide was excellent and the town of Cortona is one of a kind - you woun't want to miss it. If you can talk your tour guide into letting you spend more time in Cortona and less time in Montelpuciano - that would be great. The wine and food was excellent and the drive was short and comfortable.
