We have provided tours for all kinds of groups and individuals. The following are just some of the comments and feedback we have received: “I am a travel agent who contacted Tuscany Cooking Tours to arrange a Tuscany tour for my group this past year. From the very beginning, my experience with Tuscany Cooking Tours was very professional. The personal attention from Jim West with everything from designing the itinerary to escorting the trip was a phenomenal experience. His staff was competent, friendly and exceeded any expectations I had regarding the planning stages of our tour. I cannot say enough about how everyone in our group was treated during the tour. Jim West and his Tuscany Cooking Tours staff were funny, kind, accommodating and paid very close attention to detail. Our Italian grandpa chef was charming and very, very entertaining. I highly recommend this tour company to any travel agent who is looking to be represented in first-class fashion. They will make you look great and your clients will thank you for many years to come.” “My husband and I were passengers on a Holland America cruise ship that docked for the day in Livorno, Italy. We participated in a Tuscany Cooking Tour shore excursion and were completely impressed with the value and quality we received. The winery was very nice, the cooking class was a riot, and the day will rank as one of the best days of my life. I know my husband was very impressed as well. In fact, when we returned home from our cruise, that following Saturday he made homemade noodles from the recipe we learned on this tour, and invited friends over for an Italian meal. Thank you to every one of you!” “I want to thank all of you for making my 35th wedding anniversary so special. Our Tuscany, Italy tour was really a dream come true for all of my family. My brothers and their wives and my sister and her husband all agree we couldn’t have had a better time. The highlight was when you arranged the bus to take us to our dad’s childhood home in Pistoia. Words can’t describe how special that was to all of us. God bless all of you and all you do to make people feel so special.” “We just wanted to say how much we appreciated the hard work you put into making our honeymoon so exciting and so much fun. The cooking class, the wineries, the people we traveled with on the bus, and of course the unforgettable time we had at the villa for our farewell dinner have made a lasting impression on us. You can be sure we will tell all our friends about your company and your staff. It was a fantastic time.” “I work with a lot of tour companies, but I have never felt the need to send a letter of thanks for the way my group was handled. Jim, you and your staff went above and beyond anything I’ve ever experienced with Globus, Collette, Perillo and even Abercrombie and Kent and we really appreciated it. Your standards are very high, and I appreciate all you did for my group. We’ll be traveling with you again, and hopefully providing a Tuscany Cooking Tour every year as an annual event!” “Grazie, grazie, grazie! The entire tour was Molte Bene! I can’t remember the last time my entire family had so much fun together. I will recommend your company to every one of my friends. By the way, we have the limoncello in our freezer and we have three bottles of wine from the winery on our shelf. You’re invited anytime.” “My husband and I planned a Catholic Pilgrimage to Italy with a group from our church, and your Tuscany cooking tour was part of our trip. I just want to say, second to seeing the pope; this was the highlight of our tour. What a great time we had with our grandpa chef, and what a delicious meal we were served at the winery. The entire morning and afternoon were special. Thanks for making us feel so welcome and for the little extras you did by giving us the apron and pasta cutter. I wear the apron whenever I make spaghetti now! I am planning on organizing my five sisters and their daughters for a girls getaway to Italy next year, and your company is the one we will use to plan the entire trip. Thank you again, everything was very, very nice.” “Thank you very much for the wonderful day we had in Livorno. All our friends who were cruising with us said we should make our shore excursion reservations with the cruise line, but I took a chance after seeing and reading about your company. I am so glad we did. It was a wonderful day, and when we got back to the ship and told all our friends all the things we did in just 7 hours, they were very jealous. I think you are giving the cruise lines a run for their money with your tour. Keep up the good work. Thanks also for the recipe booklet. I got my third graders together last Wednesday, and we made the homemade pasta noodles. All the kids were covered in flour and the place looked like a bomb went off, but it was loads of fun.” “What can we say? The entire tour from start to finish was superb! On behalf of my entire family, especially my mom, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It was my dad’s wish to go to Italy, and I’m so glad we had that opportunity to travel with your company. When dad passed away shortly after our return home, we all commented how grateful we were that we went on that trip, regardless of his failing health. Your compassion and unfailing helpfulness Jim, in seeing that my dad was not overdoing it and that he was comfortable the entire time, is something we will all appreciated so much. Excellent job to you and your staff! I wish you continued success with your company. You not only know travel, but you know people, and that makes all the difference.” |
