Cooking, Culture, and Laughter in Calabria
We had the most incredible experience with Tania from In Italy Tours! She customized our itinerary perfectly and made every day feel fun, unique, and seamless. Tania herself is an absolute hoot! Her energy and humor kept us laughing the whole time…and having her as our translator was invaluable.
Highlights of our trip included:
* A magical cooking class in the hills above Tropea, making traditional pasta and wine while enjoying our meal under the vineyards. We met fantastic new friends!
* A guided tour of Reggio Calabria to see the Riace Bronzes, plus exploring the gorgeous and historic seaside town of Scilla with a fresh seafood lunch by the water.
* A deeply meaningful Ancestry Day in Marcellinara, where Tania helped my best friend connect with the local community and even find some distant relatives! With the help of a local historian, my friend also got some family documents and saw the homes where her family used to live.
* A memorable trip to Pizzo Calabro, complete with a visit to the famous Piedigrotta grotto, a fish auction, and an unforgettable dinner on the beach at La Rada with Chef Enzo.
Every detail was thoughtfully planned, from transportation to food and wine pairings to local experiences that we would never have discovered on our own. If you want a tour that mixes culture, food, history, and a whole lot of fun, you need Tania in your life!
Highly recommend In Italy Tours—this was a once-in-a-lifetime Calabria adventure we’ll never forget.
