Matteo, we can’t thank you enough!
Our trip was 100 times better than expected. I’ve posted a review that reflects much of my feelings, but not how impressed I was with the level of detail in the planning.
We met the nicest people. Our guides had distinct personalities but the two we liked best were the ones in Siena and at the Vatican.
The cooking classes were amazing. The chef in Sorrento was so inspiring I truly wished I’d been her daughter.
So many times during the trip I wished I had been raised in Italy. I loved the food and the drink, the caffès and the vineyards. Climbing up to the farm in Amalfi was meditative. I was never sure of our guide’s name but he seemed to be well known. He, too, was inspiring. The driver he worked with was great, too, who sent us to a delightful restaurant for lunch.
I could go on and on about all the wonderful people we met, the friendliness of Italians, and Mamma Mia, the food! The wine! Negroni!
I hope we were good Americans. Italy deserves these two good seasons of tourism, as I didn’t realize how difficult COVID was for the country and I hope it continues.
I thank you so much, Matteo. It was the perfect trip of a lifetime!
Thank you again.
