    A gracious and fun host
    John_C, Apr 2023
    We had a wonderful time. Giulia was a gracious host and an amazing cook. This was our best and final tour for the week.
    Cesarinewgreat/Viator not so much
    Pauline_C, May 2022
    Betty and I loved our time spent with Barbara, our cesarine. She was personable showed us how to pick certain items and why and demonstrated some of her techniques. Our issue is with Viator. Viator contacted us asking us to change the time of this experience. So we did as they asked. But Viator continued to send us reminders of the original time and place, not the rescheduled time and place. This became very frustrating as the reminders were relentless and continuous. So even though we changed the time and place at Vustirs request, they never acknowledged that we had made the changes.
