Claudia took us to Aresco, a town she knows intimately, and shared exquisite details about the history, buildings, architecture, art and the life, when all the history began. The town was uncrowded, unlike Florence, so we enjoyed an intimate, leisurely stroll throughout the day. I should mention she arranged all the train fares, a welcome service. Our lunch was special. We dined in a spacious back room in a family owned "ristorante". The Grandmother and daughter served us. The food was FRESH and full of flavor. I ordered a "buffet" of fresh, grilled, roasted vegetables from the local farms. My pork roast was so tender it melted in my mouth. The variety-Abbondanza di cibo! I walked out feeling light as when I entered. Claudia gets all credit because she recommended the tour based on our input. It's a pleasure when a person listens and then performs accordingly.

My trip to Arezzo with Claudia was a pure delight. My desire was to see a beautiful Tuscan town and this totally met all expectations. It was not a sunny day during our trip, but we were still able to enjoy all the town had to offer. The Christmas Market was still in swing on our Saturday in town so it was a lively and fun day to be there. All the cathedrals and sights we enjoyed were spectacular and Claudia was so knowledgeable and a real expert on the city. I appreciate all she did for me!!

We had a wonderful day in Arezzo with Claudia. She shared the beauty of this city which was so nice because it is still somewhat undiscovered. Great food, wine and the view was spectacular

Claudia provided a tour for us in Arrezzo that couldn't have been more enjoyable, especially with her as the guide. Without a doubt she's one of the very tour guides that we've ever had in Italy and we would rebook with her in a second. She's also very kind and charming. Thanks Claudia!
