"My wife and I have previously been on several tours in Italy, but this one was our best experience ever! Everything was arranged to perfection, and all we had to do was relax and enjoy it all - the daily excursions to various villages and other places off the beaten track, the excellent choices of restaurants, the time spent together in the villa's kitchen with Sioban learning about Italian cooking, and above all the very happy atmosphere that Carlo and Sioban created for us all. The value was also outstanding!" Ian Ried, Perth WA
