The walking tour took around 2 hours and then you get an hr to roam around yourself until the boat tour. The boat tour was nice and informative. The only bad thing about the boat tour is if you have to sit inside then its hard to view everything and take pictures.

Small-Group Italian Cooking Class in Florence

My Rating

If you like to learn how to make pasta and tiramisu, this is the class to take because it is definitely hands on experience. We went on a tour to the local Central Market and tasted some olive oil, balsamic, cheese and bread. Chef Andrea and Chef Giuseppe then taught us to make tiramisu, pasta and ravioli. It was a fun class from 10am - 4pm. Thank you!

Cinque Terre Hiking Day Trip from Florence
Florence, Italy
My Rating

Katie and Rebecca was awesome for the Walkabout tour. The hike was definitely a challenge and I highly suggest to wear good hiking shoes and drink/bring plenty of water. We had lunch before our hike and the food was decent, but the wasp flying around made it less enjoyable. I highly suggest to taste some local Cinque Terre wine. September was a great time to go because it was harvest season.

Tuscany Towns and Chianti Wine-Tasting Tour from Florence: Siena and Pisa

Siena was a beautiful town, a local Siena guide was provided when we got there. We visited one winery, Machiavelli, and had appetizer and lunch there. The penne bolognese was good. The pork dish was okay. We got to taste 3 wines. I was disappointed that we didn't get to into the vineyard because the grapes were very ripe and the olive trees were beautiful in September. We didn't have much time in Lucca, but I thought Siena was better. In Pisa, it is just the church and the leaning tower nothing else interesting to see.
