Florence Tours

We met at Piazza San Lorenzo at 9:50am and easily spotted the assistant in the yellow jacket. The chef took us through the market to pick seasonal ingredients, then we cooked a four-course meal at the school. Lunch came with Tuscan wine and a relaxed vibe.

Southern France villages stole the show—Eze and Cannes were stunning, Monaco yachts impressive. Guides in Venice/Rome gave deep insights, not just reciting scripts. Hotel locations perfect. Highly recommended!

Perfect for time-pressed travelers! 9 cities in 7 days, each day brought new surprises. Loved Florence's art vibe and Venice's canals. Guide sent daily schedule ahead—very convenient. Spacious bus seats for long drives. Only complaint: limited dinner options near Eiffel Tower, but guide suggested a good pasta place nearby.

Well-planned route from Paris south and back, no backtracking. Milan Cathedral and Lyon old town were highlights. Dijon mustard shop was fun. 4-star hotels but clean with good breakfast. Guide helped with extra luggage for our family of three.

First European tour and it exceeded expectations! Loved Cannes, Monaco, and Eze like a postcard. Free time in Florence/Pisa was enough for photos. Smooth ride, new bus with Wi-Fi. Guide spoke clear English. Only downside: lunch break in Venice was too short. Overall fantastic!

I took the morning slot for the Accademia tour and the guide's explanations were quite detailed. Seeing the original David was still impressive, though the one-hour visit felt a bit short and we went through things fairly quickly.

I cooked a full four-course Tuscan meal with a professional chef in Florence's old center, using seasonal organic ingredients. Dinner afterward was what we made ourselves, with Tuscan wine. It felt quite rewarding.

I took the cooking class in central Florence and made three types of fresh pasta with three sauces plus a dessert, all from seasonal organic ingredients. We ate what we cooked for dinner with Tuscan wine. I liked that the lesson doubled as my meal.

I really enjoyed this wine tasting. The sommelier, who won the Best Sommelier 2014 FISAR title, was very knowledgeable. We tried three Tuscan wines, two olive oils, and three local cheeses. The small group setting made it easy to ask questions and learn about the Chianti region's history.

The tour stopped at two organic wineries in the Chianti Classico area, each with tastings paired with local snacks. I enjoyed the ride along Via Chiantigiana through the hills and vineyards—it felt like the heart of Tuscany.
