    Fantastic trip! Awesome tour leader Flavio went above & beyond to accommodate all of us. The hotels were nice. I would have preferred to not stay on busy street in Minori. Lack of air conditioning left rooms stuffy and hot at times. Very interesting itinerary brought us to many quaint places and small towns which I loved!

    Everything was terrific… places visited, accommodations, tour leader, experiences … cooking classes, food & wine tastings, and more. Our tour leader, Flavio Lazzaratti, was amazing! He created a fun, friendly, educational dynamic amongst a group of travelers from Australia, New Zealand, USA and Canada … accommodating everyone’s expectations and needs. The BEST!!
