EXTRAORDINARY! I am an experienced and if I say so myself, a super critical traveler. Maria and her team went beyond my expectations. The guides were inspiring, the drivers wonderful. We had private cooking classes, meetings with a violin maker, textile designer, hunting for truffles, tastings of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, parma ham, various cheeses and seeing how all were made. This trip was worth every penny I spent and I can not recommend Maria highly enough.
