Traveled with four girlfriends - all new(ish) empty nesters. What a fabulous way to start our life “after kids”. Sicily and culture discovery FAR exceeded our expectations!
New friends, warm sincere hospitality, a true local experience, we wanted to stay longer!
We loved everything about this trip, our guides, the food, the places, the cooking. It was so nice for us to be all together to celebrate a big birthday.
Our tour guide, Tomas, was knowledgeable, passionate , and made us feel like family from day one. Claudia and her family were amazing and I can't wait to go back.
Portugal is a country of families, food, fun, wine and especially port.
Highlights of the trip were the visit up Mount Etna, visiting the pistachio farm, the Greek ruins, and staying at the gorgeous resort in Menfi. Of course, the cooking experiences were memorable too!
Yes I would recommend this travle company. We stayed at some really nice places and met some awesome people. We saw Sicily. Our guide Massimo was awesome. Extremely knowledgeable, kind and caring.
Great group of people; lots of cooking, eating, and drinking; visiting fun places and having wonderful experiences.
A luxury boutique hotel, fun & delicious cooking experiences, beautiful towns to visit...what more could you ask for!
Such a diversity of Sicilian cultural experiences
There’s nothing like the time we spent with this group. Fun and soulful. I think it attracts the kind of people I like…unpretentious, thoughtful and fun
Wonderful wines, great cooking lessons and gracious knowledgeable and caring hosts
Amazing people and beautiful countryside. The experience of being with local farmers, wine makers and learning the simple cooking ways of natural local foods was exceptional.
What a wonderful time in Portugal with CDV. We didn't go to any of the touristy places; we spent time being immersed in the culture and cuisine of Portugal. Staff was so caring and genuine.
Incredible wine! Gorgeous scenery! Perfume making. Truffle hunting!
Loved the beautiful Soriano location. The villa and grounds are gorgeous! Everyone starting with darling Inez was incredible! Carla, Katia, Pepe, Daniela, are truly family you’d like to see again.
Hands-on, immersive, educational
Wonderful, educational, friendly
This was my granddaughter’s first trip abroad and we couldn’t have picked a better way to introduce her to international travel!
cooking, eating, walking, singing, shopping, and socializing! It was a very warm and fun experience yet exhausting all at the same time!
My wife and I had a wonderful time in and around Porto with the CDV hosts and guests. We were given the chance to learn what makes Porto so special as Portugal’s premier city.
