Where do I begin? My husband and I recently returned from the Amalfi Coast with Francesca. AMAZING! Francesca planned everything to the T! Great restaurants, fabulous cooking classes, wonderful accommodations. This was my husband and I's first group trip. It was the perfect blend of together and seperate time. She has a love of Italy that is so lovely to see and hear. We 100% recommend a trip with the Lazy Italian Culinary Adventures!! It's a true vacation. Looking forward to Tuscany!

The Amalfi Coast trip with you as our guide was amazing. From the weather, the Aurora Hotel, the restaurants, the towns visited, the Italian people to our travel mates; everything was perfect. Thank you for the experience.

"Just returned from Francesca's tour of the Amalfi Coast. Everything was spectacular. Food was great, scenery was unmatched and the people that were in our group were great. Your tour several years ago to Sicily was really good, but Amalfi is now my favorite. I'll keep a watch for upcoming events, and thanks again! Mangia!"

My husband and I were nervous about going on a group culinary tour to the Amalfi Coast in May 2022 but by 5 minutes into the first dinner we knew we had made a great decision. Francesca arranged ALL of the details so our minds were free to enjoy the sights and activities. The excursions to Ravello, Positano, Capri, Naples, Sorrento and the lemon grove in Amalfi were well organized and fun. Every meal was delicious, especially the ones the group cooked ourselves! Sharing the experience with the group of interesting and friendly people from various parts of the U.S. added to our enjoyment. Thank you Francesca for the hard work you put into organizing the transportation, tours, meals, hotel and even the Covid tests required to return to the U.S.! My husband and I definitely want to book another trip with Lazy Italian Culinary Adventures soon, the only question is “Which one?”

"Francesca, Dave and I would like to thank you for an amazing trip to Tuscany. Every adventure, every day, exceeded expectations! Everyone asks what was the best thing - and I say "Everything". We enjoyed our travel companions, cooking lessons, truffle hunting, olive oil producers, cheese making, gardens, cheeses, wine, vineyards and more wine. All the hosts were incredibly gracious to welcome us into their homes and families. We loved our villa and sunsets. I keep thinking about the impact of the climate on our animals and crops, on the yield and quality of our food. It was a gift to reconnect to food this way, and pace of life. Thank you!!!!"

"We have just returned from a culinary tour with Lazy Italian Culinary Adventures last month (May 2022). There were 14 of us on the tour and we all had an outstanding time. We enjoyed many great Italian dishes, experienced some cooking, experienced some Italian wine tasting, attended a forest hunt for fresh / live Truffles - that were later used in preparing our dinner; and experienced the making of Italian cheese. Over the entire week we spent several hours socializing with some GREAT Italian people and tour guides. By end of the tour we gained feelings of true friendship real Italian family Traditions."
