"We really appreciated all the
information you gave us. It was so
helpful. We went to the Gondola
station where you suggested, and
it was wonderful. Thank you again
for everything you have done for
me and my wife. She  
is grateful to you as well."

"Allie, Harry and I felt that it was a very special
experience to see how a Venetian might live... it
was relaxing and fun to go to the market and
come back and cook and enjoy a meal with you
guys! New friends for sure!

We all agree that the shopping in the fresh
market and the cooking and enjoying of the meal
was the BEST! Just up our ally! We are always
curious when we travel to see how people really
live.

This is not something the usual tourist
experience entails.  We just walked in and felt so
welcome -- like going to a friends for dinner! Your
skill is that you can make people feel so
comfortable."  --- Kathleen, Virginia
"Thanks . . . for the magnificent treatment you afforded the
kids while they were in Venice. That's all they've talked
about since their return. After cooking in Rome, Bologna
and Venice, you and Mike won hands down for the total
Venetian experience. While they felt the other classes
were delightful and beneficial, it was your warmth and
personalities that gave the two of you a "ten." And I'm sure
the five bottles of wine* didn't hurt, either!  . . . What a
wonderful way for them to remember their trip to Italy. Erik
chose Venice as his favorite city and I'm sure that was due
in large part to the two of you."  --- Gayla, San Francisco

*Editor's note: It was really only four bottles of wine.
"Thanks to Mike & Karen, my group (3) couples, had an
amazing Cicchetti Crawl.  Without their "Venice Experience"
we would have never found the intimate, tucked away, local
pubs.

We all enjoyed the variety of appetizers & libations.  But the
"Grappa" was the best night cap!" --- Anita, Harrison Twp.,
