Testimonial

Marcello, we met several years ago when my husband and I took your cooking school in Umbria.  Sorry that it took me so long to write to say what a great time we had and it was so fun to meet you.  If you remember, it was just the 2 of us and you, as your other guests cancelled at the last minute.  I still have very fond memories of that trip.  I’m hoping that this e-mail finds you well.  I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been thinking of you!

Words cannot express what a wonderful experience this has been for us. I will always treasure this time in my heart and I look forward to seeing you again in the future! Please, keep in touch and know that wherever we are, our door is always open to you and your family. Much love.

Thank you so much for everything! I cannot wait to be home to spread the news that there is a special tour in Italy that everyone must experience! It was a memorable experience!
May God keep you and your family strong, healthy and united in love.
We will be in touch!

Marcello and Raffaella, thank you so much for an unforgettable experience in Bologna!
You have not only taken us by hand and explained about food and traditions, but you have opened your hearts to us as well.
This experience will be one that we will never forget.
Thank you so much!

Raffaella and Marcello, thank you for providing us with a wonderful experience in Italy. We could not have imagined a more wonderful place to celebrate our honeymoon!
The food, landscapes and good company were incredible.
We will always remember this trip and your friendship.
Thank you!

What a delight the two of you are! Lori and I had an amazing experience and would highly recommend your tours to others.The opportunity to experience the culture of Bologna and Emilia Romagna was a once in a lifetime memory and was and was enhanced tremendously by your charm, grace and hospitality....
We wish you continued success and looking forward to experiencing Prosecco or Puglia or Umbria with you in the future.

Thank you so very much for making us feel like a part of your family!

Once again, Marcello and Raffaella, your attention to every detail allowed us to have an unforgettable experience. The varied scenery of the seacost, the mountains and the countryside was spectacular. Combining that with gracious hosts sharing their homes and their cooking secrets made us feel very special. With great food, great company and a very knowledgeable, attentive and entertaining guide, how could it not be a week to remember. Grazie mille!

I want to thank you again for the wonderful trip to Le Marche, an area that is so special yet still relatively undiscovered by tourists. The seafood on the Adriatic coast was just wonderful as were the wines and cooking lessons. Our dinner in the 17th century winery near Offagna was one of the highlights. I loved being by the beach and collecting seashells, then just a short ride later, being up in the rolling hills. Every part of the program was planned so beautifully that I can't wait to come back and enjoy more of your hospitality and another special trip.

This is my second Bluone tour, and it was fantastic! The group size was just right, and the activities varied and interesting. We were well cared for, and there was none of that "being herded around" feeling you get on some tours. In fact it didn't feel like a tour at all! I loved the opportunity to spend time with local people and learn their cuisine, cooking, wine and customs. Where else would you prepare fresh calamari and sole in the kitchen of a fisherman with his wife giving you expert cooking instructions and then eat the fruits of your labour around the family table?
