Here is where Ligurian cuisine and Michaelangelo's marble, where Cristopher Columbus and the unsung heroes of 5 Terre and the finest wine all seem to pour from a cornucopia unique in theworld.
Each tour is designed for the demanding traveler who wishes to deepen his understanding of Italian dishes (Ligurian or Toscan), the maritime coast (from which many a sailors besides Columbus has emerged) and the opera at which Italy reigns dominant.
Each step of each tour is under the careful personal guidance of a specialist in the field of interest. Paramount is context, the matrix of culture and the artefact that emerged from it. Only by immersion in the mix can the traveller fully comprehend the connection. There can be no substitute for the scent of saltspray as one cruises the Riviera, the taste of Limoncino as it issues from its source, the vision of whitness as marble is hewn from mountainside, or the feel of ancient village streets I call " home. "
Selected for your experience is the farmhouse, the castle, the medieval village, the cliffside vineyard emblematic of an Italy that is intimate and unforgettable, far from the usual tourist crowd, an Italy only Italians know yours for the having with quality and insight always the determining standard.
A Recent Review of this guide
Read ReviewsThe most beautiful place on Earth also boasts the most wonderful guide! Fulvia's trip through Cinque Terra was seamless. From the transportation (van, boat, train) to the history, to the landscape she was knowledgable, charismatic, and cheerful. EVERYONE knew her, and she kept us ahead of the crowds. The restaurant she pointed us toward was great, and my whole group holds a fondness for her in our hearts forever! Thank you, Fulvia - you made our "trip of a lifetime" even better than expected!
