Travel Review: Italy Anniversary Vacation, Milan, Florence, Tuscany, Sorrento, Lake Como, Automobile Factory Tour, Cooking Class

We truly enjoyed the private tours for the various museums and duomo we had visited; the local guides were so knowledgeable and helpful and the experience definitely surpassed one with an audio guide.

We also enjoyed our cooking class in Sorrento. We thought it would happen in a commercial style kitchen but it turned out to be the chief's home by the mountain side of Sorrento. We started off by picking our ingredients from their organic garden and did the preparing and cooking in their back yard open kitchen. We loved their home made wine and we made salad, bruschetta and the eggplant parmesan was simply amazing.

Our agent was also able to rent us a classic Alfa Romeo convertible for a couple days to tour around the Tuscany region. Nothing beats touring in our own pace and driving through the twisty Italian mountain road.
