Review of Montmartre’s 3-hour food walk, with French pastries, cheese, wine, local history, Sacré Coeur views, and practical tips.
“This was a fabulous tour with a fabulous tour guide, Julie, who lives in Montmartre and gave us a little history of the area in addition to the tastings. At each of our stops we got a taste of delectable, quintessentially French food and a real sense of why the French take such pride in their cuisine. Everything was incredibly fresh—quiche, a marvelous “merveilleux,” a macaron made that morning (usually a dry, thawed-out tasteless cookie from La Durée) that has spoiled us for life, pork rillettes with a tapenade on the side, and even more before sitting for a gorgeous selection of cheeses and charcuterie with baguettes to accompany it…”

Review of Gray Line’s Krka National Park tour from Split or Trogir, with Skradinski Buk, a river cruise, free time, and wine tasting.
“Easy to find right off the bat. Wonderful host that took us to our tour bus. Our guide, Dario, was helpful and provided lots of information. This made the tour very straight forward. Peter was our driver, felt safe on the smaller roads and he drove slower past a great view so we could snap a few pics! We did the wine tasting and it was a great add on. Would recommend this tour to friends!”

Review of Rome to Pompeii by high-speed train, with guided ruins, Vesuvius winery, wine tasting, lunch, price, tips, and drawbacks.
“I joined the one-day tour from Rome to Pompeii and a local winery, and it was a truly wonderful experience. Despite bad weather and road closures due to Winter Olympic events, Ida and Fabrizio did an amazing job arranging everything smoothly and making sure the group was well taken care of. Ida’s explanations at Pompeii were especially impressive. She brought history to life by describing what society was like back then and how people actually lived day to day. It made the ruins feel much more vivid and meaningful rather than just a sightseeing stop. The winery visit was also excellent, with great wine and a lovely atmosphere. I even…”

“Lovely tasting at Poças. Our guide, Cindy, was absolutely lovely and very knowledgeable. There weren’t many other people there when we had our visit so it made the experience more personal.

Taste 20-plus Roman specialties on a four-hour Trastevere walk with wine, handmade pasta, old-oven pizza, truffles, and artisanal gelato.
“This tour is absolutely fantastic and takes place where the Romans go to eat and drink. Fi our guide was absolutely fantastic and incredibly knowledgeable and went out of her way to explain all aspects of the food on the tour. This isn't at all, where you walk in and expect to get a little bit of pasta in a bowl or a slice of pizza. This tour is an in-depth look at the finest food Italy has to offer. If you're serious about Italian food and cooking, then you have to do this, all of the products used in the tour, are also presented in their original packaging so…”
