The most incredible train ride of my life!!! Giovanni was such an amazing tour guide that really went out of his way to show us around. The train ride itself through the Swiss Alps was breathtaking. I will most certainly come back and do it again.

If you enjoy some time in Milan, don’t miss the opportunity to visit Bergamo, easy to reach by train. Bergamo is a beautiful medieval city composed by Upper and Lower Bergamo. The most interesting part of the city is Upper Bergamo that you reach by a cable train, the“Funicolare”, with your guide. At arrival, explore the city with its defensive walls and old buildings, and spend some time in“Piazza Vecchia”, the most important square of Bergamo. The tour continues at the “Campanone”, the bell tower, from which to see at the whole city. Then, you admire the church of Santa Maria Maggiore built in Baroque style, a real gem! The wonders of the city are not finished, you walk to the “Antico Lavatoio” and the “Cittadella Viscontea” house of Visconti,a Real family of Bergamo. It’s time for a sweet surprise, you can taste the “gelato” in the ice-cream shop that invented the Stracciatella, a flavour composed by milk ice-cream and chocolate chips. A delicious ending not to forget this day!

Inclusions: Funicolar Tickets

Exclusions: Gratuities

I wanted to send a gift of wine to someone in Verona, and I reached out to Sara for help. She was extremely helpful and very generous with her time, and always replied quickly and kindly to all of my questions. With her excellent wine knowledge, she helped me put together a selection of local Italian wines and get them delivered (with no charge for the local delivery!). She even took the time to translate and hand write a beautiful letter to include with the wines. I can't say enough about her gracious professionalism. I look forward to a day when I can travel to Verona again and enjoy some of the wine and food tours that Sara and Virginia offer. If I could rate them higher than five stars, I would!

Follow your local foodie, live a one-of-a-kind experience and, just like a real local, start your day in the right way drinking an authentic Italian espresso. After a very Italian beginning, a classic aperitif is waiting for you. You'll stop in one of the most traditional "Osterie" of the city, where you will savor some local products, such as Soppressa (a type of salami), Monte Veronese cheese and the famous meatballs from Verona. The next step will make your mouth water: enjoy a traditional dish and discover some local culinary traditions with your expert guide. Continue your visit in the food district of Verona, where the most "Osterie" and botteghe are located, and enjoy the great wines of the city. Then discover the aromas and main features of the traditional local wines, such as the Valpolicella red wine, or the white wines coming from the East of Verona and Lake Garda. Finally, stop in an historical Gelateria to taste an artisanal Gelato to refresh your mouth.

My husband and I did the private Online Fresh Pasta and Tiramisù Cooking Class today and it was simple incredible. It was our first cooking class of any kind and it was perfect. So well paced, easy to follow along, and fun! It felt so natural at times I forgot we were on Zoom. Definitely recommend, and would do it again.

Francesco was absolutely brilliant. Despite Juliet's House being closed due to the storm damage the previous day, he organised a one-off visit to Club de Juliet where my my daughter was able to answer one of the many letters addressed to Juliet arrive every year - a real highlight for her. He then undertook an amazing experience around Verona and topped everything off by booking our lunch for us at a restuarant that had formed part of the tour! The care and attention was such that he organised his colleague (Maria) to meet us and take us to Juliet's House the following day so that we didn't miss out on that experience. The photo's that Maria took were superb and allowed u to have a picture of the experince together as a family. I can highly recommend this experience and perhaps the highest compliment I cna pay both Francesco and MAria is that for that day (and indeed the rest of our stay) we felt like true Veronese citizens. Thank you.

We did a private wine country tour with Francesco in October 2019 (it has taken me entirely too long to write this review). We had a great time with Francesco. He is so personable and was so much fun to spend the day with. Ask him to tell you the story of why there are black roosters on Chianti Classico wine bottles. Francesco is very professional, was able to accommodate a change in plans based on our preferences, and delivered top-notch service throughout the day. If (when) we go back to Florence, we will be giving Francesco a call!

The view from the garden was amazing. Jacopo was very informative about the wine making process, how to pair them with food, and how to tell the quality of the wines made in Italy. Each wine that he brought out had its own distinct flavor based on the process of how it was made and it made the experience more enjoyable. If you haven't had a chance to try some Italian wine but are interested, this is a great place to start!
