We began the class, and once we dispensed with a bit of stereotypical italian male behaviour, the class continued, and with our very experienced chef and two others we learnt a lot, cooked some great food, which we had a good time eating at the end, and had a lot of fun in the process. There was also good consideration for the one participant who was gluten intolerant. Have no hesitation in recommending this class to anyone.

I had a wonderful experience at the Uffizi Gallery with my guide Irina. I thought the 49 euro ticket was extreeemely good value for what was provided, I was able to skip the queue and Irina provided a huge amount of information. She was engaging and enthusiastic and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Furthermore, Irina emailed me on all of the information that she had mentioned afterwards, so I have the memories and stories of the Uffizi Museum with me forever now. I would highly recommend a tour with Irina! (I was here over a year ago in July 2018!)

We loved the hot springs and the setting along a river in the woods and found a small pool at a perfect temeperature for a long soak. The wine tasting at a small family vineyard was a pleasant way to round out the day and a nice introduction to the wines of Montalcino. Matteo was and excellent guide and driver - we enjoyed his insights into the countyside and hid frindly and professional manner. Highly recommended.

We spent a wonderful, full day with Mau! He picked us up promptly from our AIRBNB in FLR in a very clean & comfortable Mercedes van. Mau was very pleasant, charming and extremely knowledgeable about the Tuscany area. I highly recommend him! My family was not exactly sure where we wanted to spend the day, and Mau made some suggestions, which we followed and I am glad we did. The town of San G is very charming for first-timers to the area. Later at Casa Emma we enjoyed a tour, followed by wine tastings paired with a fabulous lunch, in a very lovely setting. It is much more enjoyable to try the wines with food, and the food was delicious. And, YES, we did order wine to ship home! All day long the landscapes and surroundings were gorgeous, and Mau made sure to show us some particularly lovely views. It was a terrific day, and after having spent the previous 2 days on foot seeing the sights of the city of FLR it was a very welcome respite for our feet.

My boyfriend and I booked this cooking class near Arezzo in Tuscany at a private villa with chef and host Fabrizio.

Fabrizio was a wonderful teacher and host and we highly recommend his classes and any cooking holidays he is offering for the future. Thank you Fabrizio !!

While it is impossible to see all of Rome in one day, our excursion through Trip Advisor came close. Our guide Paolo was excellent. He took us to places that we had no idea were there. Having the skip the line tickets was well-worth the investment! Highly recommend!!
