“The tour you took us on made us feel we could dip into Italian life both past and present in a way which had not been possible on our previous trips to Italy. In fact the trip was up there with the best experiences in our lives.”

"I have  been to Rome many times but was amazed at the wonderful places we visited in the city that I had never previously discovered. The Lazio region itself is a treasure house of fascinating sites ranging from Etruscan through to towns built according to best architectural principles in Mussolini’s time. The knowledge and enthusiasm of John and Andrea for food leads them to search out the best of local cuisine, and their architectural expertise provides a new dimension when touring. Great company, great trip!”

”Veneto: The wonder of Venice, Palladio’s world renowned villas and Carlo Scarpa’s contemporary buildings, The romance of Juliet’s balcony in Verona contrasts with the awe inspiring Scrivengi Chapel Giotto frescoes in Padua.  The friends of Andrea and John who welcomed us into their homes and the charming hotels plus the high tech Grappa distillery were just a few of the exceptional experiences I heartily recommend”

“APULIA ,the trulli houses in Alberobello, the Sassi district of Matera (a sight never to be forgotten), the hill town of Locorotondo, are only some of the amazing places visited, and the fabulous food, all go into making everlasting memories of a wonderful trip. Andrea and John such fantastic hosts, with their expert knowledge and humor, helped to make the tour so very enjoyable, and one I thoroughly recommend”
