Great experience

ana_m, Jun 2026

Good tour and great experience. Would recommend it. I enjoyed the history , the merchandise and stores visited

Easy going and informative.

Jake_A, Jun 2026

Was informative and laid back. Our guide gave us the details of different types of leather and how they feel different as well as what to look for to ensure quality brand. Felt very personal and we were being shown quality shops. Very flexible and willing to let us look around the shops.

Kasha’s was a great tour...

David_W, May 2026

Kasha’s was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable on the art of true Italian leather crafts. We had plenty of time to shop and now know how to tell authentic Italian leather and not get ripped-off. A great tour and great value. We highly recommend it! Thank you.

Kashyapi was amazing!

Tiffany_R, Apr 2026

Kasha’s was the best ever. Very thorough and so pleasant. Would 1000% recommend her and we learned so much. Great experience ❤️!

Lovely leather tour

We visited three workshops and learned all about leather production and the different qualities of leather. There was no pressure to buy anything, but of course after seeing such beautiful pieces we bought some items for our family members.
