LOVED this tour and our tour manager, Andrea Vitali, did a phenomenal job of sharing insights to each of the regions we traveled to as well as food/drink recommendations for each region. Collette selected fantastic hotels/villas for each location and the personal experiences with the cooking classes were very fun. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND taking this tour. You won’t regret it!!
