Susan_O, Aug 2023
This was by far our favorite tour. Ilaria was a sweetheart. She went above and beyond to make our experience special. Her home is beautiful. She was very easy to communicate with and felt like she was a good friend by the end of the day. The food we made was delicious. Highly recommend.
