The design and management of this Italian experience were very well planned and professionally run. There is no better and stress-free way to experience Italian culture, art, architecture, culinary styles, and regional wines.

You don't have to do anything thing except come along for the fun. Everything is taken care of for you to make for a wonderful experience.

A trip you must take. The country was clean and the people were very pleasant. The scenery is breathtaking. Joy's attention to detail was remarkable. She always listens to our suggestions regarding the trip. Will be travelling with her again.

We did not really know what to expect. The food, the wine, the truffle hunting, the cooking class were all terrific. Not too much time spent on the bus. The private tour of the Vatican was so inspiring and wonderful. It would be very hard to replicate this trip as an individual. This is a unique experience to meet some great new people, taste some delicious wine and to learn more about them. This is a trip anyone who has not been to Italy can enjoy as can people like us who have already visited Italy numerous times.

We had experiences and saw things we would have never known to exist if we had tried this on our own.
