The whole house, in fact, was filled with interesting knick-knacks from all around the world. We cooked batter-fried vegetables, homemade tagliatelle, chicken and strawberry tiramisu. Simple but truly delicious recipes along with a... More

“Wonderful day in Tuscany”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

I spent two weeks in Italy in May 2013, and this tour was definitely a highlight of our trip. First of all, it was private for the four of us who were traveling together--no crowds, no cranky museum employees--just us and our tour guide, Luca, in a beautiful Tuscany setting. Luca is proud to come from the Tuscany region and... More

We spent two days with Massimo touring a cheese factory, an olive mill and the greatest adventure of all -- truffle hunting with a man and his dog. All three experiences were some of the best I've had in Italy mainly because Massimo tailors the tours to your individual needs and expectations. He is extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to...
