The tour was fabulous!!!! Barbara (I hope I am correct) and the driver were wonderful. Her knowledge of the area, Italy history and the locations we attended was amazing. I am so glad we took this tour while in Florence, we would never have gotten to so many great areas on our own. Even our 2 college age kids loved it. I am now a balsamic vinegar snob. Only the best for me. Again, great tour, lots of fun, great food and so happy they had extra umbrellas on hand too. Crazy rain that day.

Laura was simply the best. My daughters and I practically had a private tour so we got to know Laura a bit and talk about Italy and food and wine. The cheese and balsamic vinegar tours were interesting! Fascinating to see and hear how it’s all done. Bologna was quick; Laura allowed time for one of my daughters and me to pop into the basilica. The tortellini and mortadella stops were really good too. Laura was knowledgable and pleasant. We enjoyed this new tour.
