"I have been on three trips to Paciano with Denise, each one was a different adventure, all equally wonderful. One of the great things about Denise's trips is the small group size. Denise always selects wonderful villages and towns to explore. Her choice of tour guides is always spot on.
-Debby, ME
EXPERIENCES
Here is some of the excitement you will experience. But not all:
A private pasta making class at a gorgeous agriturisimo where you will learn to cook like an Italian and eat like one too.
A fabulous day in historic and beautiful Orvieto with our favorite tour guide, Lucianna. You will be amazed at the history of this stunning town. Especially the duomo built in 1210.
A day in Cortona, where the movie Under the Tuscan Sun was filmed.
Day trips to Pienza, Gubio, Cortona, Pitigliano, Sovana, and more stunning villages. You will love it!
Stunning walking tour from Paciano to Panicale (or you can choose to ride the few miles).
And much more Italian fun and a few surprises!

"Denise DeSimone handles the details and stress of the trip beautifully. She is amazing at handling people. She has a great sense of humor, she is loving and kind and treats people with love, using what some might call "ruthless compassion". I loved being with every member of our small group and loved being in Italy."
