This
is an email we received on
3rd July 2009 from Jana and Roddrick
on their honeymoon in Tuscany and
doing a truffle hunting tour and a
pastry class with us:
Massimo,
Here
are the pictures we promised! We had
the most amazing time on this whole-day
tour with you. We thank you for custom-making
this tour to fit all the things we
wanted to do! It was simply amazing
and we had more fun than we knew what
to do with! I know we went to bed
smiling and talking about it for many
days afterwards. Every part of it
was memorable, fun and perfect! If
we are ever fortunate enough to come
back to Italy, we are certainly booking
with you guys and spending more time
in that region. I have recommended
you guys to my friends who are planning
their trip to Italy in March. I know
you will give them the same spectacular
treatment that you did us! Thank you
from the bottom of our hearts for
making our honeymoon memorable and
exciting! Hugs to Massimo and all
our Italian friends we met along the
way!
