It was truly a trip of a lifetime! Every place we went had a special surprise waiting. I will never forget any of it and appreciate all the hard work you did to make my first trip to Tuscany a real success.

What people are saying about traveling with Suzan and
"Italy With Friends".
Priceless, I traveled with Suzan last May and fell in love around every corner and I do mean every view/every village/every meal. First I didn't want to leave Florence, then San Gimignano, until we were in the next place and that was exactly where I wanted to be. Fun, knowledgeable, and passionate, along with her great sense of humor, Suzan makes everyday festive and memorable, as well as balanced and relaxed. Never a dull moment, from our group, to the people we met, the places we experienced, everything we learned, all we ATE/DRANK! I am on the 3rd "case" of olive oil from Contucci...Her passion is contagious!

Traveling with Suzan was the experience of a lifetime! Everything we did, everywhere we went, was wonderful. We were able to get close to the wonderful Italian people, landscapes, and the unique way of life found only in Tuscany. The food was outstanding. Learning about wine was really fun even though I am not much of a wine drinker. I am already planning to go back with a friend next year.

Suzan told me that I would become addicted to Italy. She was right! This is the perfect way to go. All the details are pleasantly handled by Suzan. All I had to do was enjoy...enjoy the scenery, enjoy the food and wine, enjoy traveling with great companions! It will spoil you. Can't wait to go again.

Suzan is like a walking encyclopedia! Not only did we get to enjoy fabulous food, sights, and accommodations, but we got a history lesson too. Talk about living the high life! Everything was first class and so much fun!!!! I want to go back tomorrow! I need to find someone to take the cooking class with me for an entire week. I can't believe I got to learn how to make real Italian Gnocchi and Veal Bochantinni. Plus, I will always cherish my red Birkin Bag.

This was the trip of a lifetime! I'm so glad that Regan, April, and I got to experience this trip with Suzan. There is nothing more exciting than traveling with the people you love. I never dreamed that this country could be soooo beautiful! We drank the wine, mingled with the people, bought the pottery, and most of all, learned so much history. Suzan----well--she just knows EVERYTHING. She could TELL us all of the history. I'm going back with my husband as soon as possible; he will love everything--especially the Italian Wine Dinners.
Ciao (I am now fluent in Italian)

Thank you for a wonderful, memorable and gastronomically fantastic tour of Tuscany. We will take home many fond memories and several extra pounds, not all of which will be in our luggage. We especially enjoyed the small hill towns, which I am sure are not on most tour itineraries. Our favorite day, however, was the extraordinary cooking class with Guido. We will talk about that for years!
Best Wishes for many more safe and enjoyable trips wherever you may travel.

We so enjoyed ourselves and hanging out with everyone on the tour. You are the consummate host, so diplomatic, yet kind. We were amazed at all the extra perks that you included in the trip. You are truly a gifted travel organizer and your passion for Italy shows in what you plan. We both are so glad to know you. Thanks again, for giving us the opportunity to explore the beauty that is Italy!

The trip was incredible. I think it was the best trip any of us ever experienced. We will never know the effort your work and planning took; but we want you to know your choices could not have been more perfect. Thank you for such a great time together.
