I don't have all the notes, but all of our travels inside Italy were great. The drivers were friendly, the cars were clean, and they all had great advice. Venice was my favorite for food, Verona was my favorite for wine and just walking around (and seeing a Serie A match!), and Florence was great for experiencing a larger city.

It was good to have WhatsApp, as we were easily able to communicate with Melanie, drivers, and lots of restaurants.

We got so much detailed history about Venice on this trip, it was fascinating.

Our guide was so authentic and personable. We talked about a very wide variety of topics and we never felt like we were being lectured to from a script.

I absolutely loved this experience. I was nervous going in, but it's amazing what you can do with the right ingredients and just a little guidance. I was amazed at the quality of food we were able to make in just a short amount of time. I would absolutely recommend this to anybody visiting Florence!

Quality of Experience
The food ended up being delicious and I wasn't sure I could do it. Getting to drink wine while we finished the meal was also great.

I'm a big fan of wine tasting tours and we got very lucky to have a really fun group of couples along for the ride. Our guide was entertaining and knowledgeable and kept the tour moving without rushing us.

Hi Pat and Kat,
thank you so much for your review and I'm so pleased you had a lovely time! Wow didn't realize you made it to a football match too (definitely an added bonus).

Thanks again for booking with me :)

I look forward to your next Italian trip!

A presto,
Melanie
