The scenery was breath taking and the guide was knowledgeable. I am a novice and this was above my fitness level. However, with the guidance provided, I did finish the return up hill ride. Part way back, my legs gave out from fatigue and when I stopped to walk up hill, I fell over. I was not injured except for some scratches.

This time we have chosen to discover Palermo in a walking tour. That was our first time in Palermo and our guide, knowing this detail, made a point in explaining and making us discover the main landmarks of this beautiful Sicilian city. After that he suggested a wonderful local restaurant where we had lunch and it was indeed very good food reasonably priced and the restaurant was full of local people, which is, when you don't know a city, the best token for good quality. After lunch our guide walked us back to our cruise. Thank you very much Tour Travel for this great experience

My passion for cooking and the family recipes passed down through generations have been refined in the best Italian and international cooking schools, including the Paul Bocuse Institute (3* Michelin) in the beautiful Ecully castle. Together we'll find out the secrets of ravioli, easy and tasty, or tagliatelle with the recipes of my bolognese nanny. You'll learn to prepare the original, soft and unique tiramisù, easier than you thought.

The view from the garden was amazing. Jacopo was very informative about the wine making process, how to pair them with food, and how to tell the quality of the wines made in Italy. Each wine that he brought out had its own distinct flavor based on the process of how it was made and it made the experience more enjoyable. If you haven't had a chance to try some Italian wine but are interested, this is a great place to start!

We had a great time with Ben. A very gentle guy from London sharing with us his favourite adresses (churches, bar and restaurants) in Florence. We recommend the longer tour of 90min. This tour with golf cart allows to park very close to the different sights. This is a perfect way for a first panoramic tour in Florence. Ben is definitely a nice fellow!

Walking tours are usually not very child friendly. But this was fantastic. Firstly it was stroller accessible which was great as we had a 5 year old who tire easily over the course of the 3hrs+ tour. Secondly our tour guide Francesca was just lovely. She is patient and interacts well with children which is a nice change from tours which tended to be more adult centric. Francesca was very knowledgeable and you can see her passion as she explains. Finally we loved sforza castle and the duomo. So much history and just so beautiful. This was a really wonderful tour.
