Tip to organize your tripCook in Italy's packages are perfect to be part of your tour in Italy. When planning your holiday start by deciding the big picture (I want to see Rome, Florence, etc.), then plan some diversions from the most common tourist destinations. One of these will be the countryside between Florence and Siena, where you will experience a great culinary experience and relax in a medieval village.
