    This tour was fantastic! He hosted multiple events for our group ranging from bread making to olive oil tasting. He grew up in the area, knows exactly where to go, and involves family-owned farms to provide a rich range of experiences. The food was outstanding. My wife and I cook a lot at home and learned so much about the traditional ways to prepare so many dishes. There is quite a bit of walking but generally easy. One day had a steeper hike so he offered a second van to take part of the group to do shopping while the rest if us took in the view above a lake in the mountains. I would recommend this tour, and plan to look at thenither tours

    This tour was simply amazing. They thought and took care of everything! It was wonderful getting to know the real Abruzzo. Through making pasta, harvesting vegetables, herbs, peppers, etc. we got to know the family, the people, and the culture. By the end of the week we were all family. I was ready to give up my career and move to Vasto. It’s not your typical tour where you rush from museum to museum, place to place where you have 15 minutes to look around, take a photo and visit the gift shop. A truly relaxing immersion into the wonderful Italian culture. The views are stunning, the food is fabulous, and the wine amazing and plentiful! Fair warning, you will not to leave.
