We had such a fantastic day with Alessio and his family. We arrived to espresso and local Italian cakes which were lovely. We were introduced to all of his family and they were all so kind and welcoming. We were then able to make a pasta sauce with his wife and then we created pasta from flour and egg - with Alessio and his wife explaining what to do and why every step of the way. We then let the pasta dough rest and Alessio took us on a tour of his farm which was amazing to see. We picked and ate fresh tomatoes and melons which tasted incredible! We then went on a tour of the local village and tried the most fantastic gelato! Upon returning to the farm we rolled and cut our pasta using traditional methods and cooked it before sitting down to a traditional Italian lunch with Alessio's whole family. After lunch we had more coffee and Alessio took us to see some local attractions we had been asking about earlier in the day. Alessio and his family really went above and beyond for us and we were made to feel so incredibly welcome. Alessio and his whole family are so passionate about their farm and their products. He gave us so much information and we really felt like we were experiencing 'the real Italy'. I honestly cannot recommend this day highly enough if you want an authentic experience with a lovely Italian family. We spent a week in Italy - including some days in Rome doing various excursions - but this was by far the best day we had during the whole holiday. Thank you so much and we will definitely return!

We wished we could see Pope Francis but we could never expected we could see him so closely thanks to Rossana great effort. Rossana and our driver Luigi are both great persons and the visit to the Pope very well organized. They both were professional, supportive, engaging and very helpful. Rossana took really a great effort to make the visit tailored to our needs and she had great sense of humour. Big thanks to R and L. We would highly recommend this tour.

I have spent an exciting morning with Lorenza in Bologna together with my family. We visited some of the most interesting objectives of the old city, enjoying Lorenza’s stories which only a local can know.
