Tourist attraction
Ponte Vecchio
The Ponte Vecchio is one of the most famous bridges in Florence, and when you visit, you'll walk across this iconic bridge full of history, medieval buildings, and sparkling jewelry shops. The bridge consists of three arches and was built in 1345 by Taddeo Gaddi, replacing older versions from Roman times. Long ago, butcher shops lined the bridge, but the Medici family replaced all the shops with wooden shutters, goldsmiths, and jewelers to clean up the area.
As you explore, look up to see the Vasari Corridor, a secret walkway the Medici used to move between Palazzo Vecchio and Palazzo Pitti. In World War II, it was the only bridge the Nazis didn’t destroy. In the middle, you’ll find a statue of Benvenuto Cellini, where you can leave a love lock like many tourists do—another reason to experience the charm of the Ponte Vecchio for yourself.

Great fun making pasta and gelato from scratch. Very clear instructions from the instructor so don't worry even if you do not have much cooking experience.

Registration was swift, you’re already reassigned your working group so no time is wasted to form your ownself. Chef James is very passionate to share his knowledge, and took on our questions candidly and also offered tips to better your pizza making. He went round to ensure people are doing it correctly. They were not stingy to allow you to put lots of ingredients on your pizza. We were given options for our gelato flavour, and got to try it pre and post to understand the taste change after it turned into a gelato. Comfortable setting to hold the class

Noemí was our instructor and she did a fantastic job. The class was fun and relaxed, and the food was really good but it felt like a long wait to eat since we got up very early to go to the market and cooked four courses before we got to eat anything. One piece of constructive criticism would be to have a sign at the meet up spot for people to know where to find you. We had to ask around before finding the correct group.

Trip is excellent and convenient. We went to Siena, San Gimignano, Vineyard and Pisa. Thoses towns are so beautiful. Vineyard came with lunch and wine tasting. Totally recommended! Pisa is nice but we didn’t have much time to explore much. Be prepare that they don’t have much toilets. We had to go to cafe and purchased drinks. Public toilets are not available much.

This Cinque Terre trip was very worthwhile! I visited the four villages of Riomaggiore ➡️ Manarola ➡️ Monterosso ➡️ Vernazza. The scenery was beautiful, and the colorful houses with the sea view were so healing. The itinerary was well-arranged and not too rushed (I personally think it would be better to spend an extra half hour in Manarola), and there was enough time for taking photos and walking around. The tour guide was very friendly, and the transportation was arranged smoothly, saving a lot of trouble by not having to transfer myself. If this is your first time visiting Cinque Terre, I highly recommend this trip. I suggest wearing comfortable shoes and leaving early. Overall, it was a great experience!

The line to enter the church was very long, and the Italian tour guide had a very strong accent. If you're a native Mandarin speaker, you'll need to pay close attention to understand the explanations 😇. However, being able to skip the long line in the Italian heat and enter directly is worth the price of admission! I highly recommend this tour.

This tour is perfect for those staying in Florence who want to visit the surrounding towns. The itinerary for the day is as follows: 7:20 AM Meet at the Florence SMN train station – Pisa (1 hour) – Winery near San Gimignano (Lunch + 3 wine tastings) – San Gimignano (1 hour) – Siena (1 hour) – 7:30 PM Return to SMN train station. The whole trip is quite compact, with only about 1 hour in each location. If you want to explore properly, the time is not really enough. However, its strength is its convenience, as you travel by bus and it's not tiring, so it's still very suitable. The tour guide, Barbara, is very friendly and responsible. I recommend this tour! (The entire tour is explained in English).
