Oh, yes! If you get the chance, DO NOT miss this! We spent a week in Tuscany last month, and Roxanne planned the most enjoyable, informative and fun outings, from balsamic, wine and cheese tastings, to medieval towns and a fantastic cooking class. Trip of a lifetime!!! ❤️

I have traveled the world but nothing compares to my trip Roxanne Stella planned to Tuscany She made anything and everything happen for each and every one of us!! HONESTLY, best experiences, accommodations & hospitality everywhere we went!! Everything was organized for us and the daily activities were planned so that we would love Italy as much as she does. She has a big heart, great connections and she really knows how to wine & dine you again and again !!! Don’t miss this small group experience of a lifetime !!

This was the most amazing girl trip ever. Roxanne had everything arranged with the top excursions chosen for us to do. Cooking classes, trip to the marble Quarry,and wineries. Everything we could ask for. Our trip to Cortona wasn’t on the itinerary and it was very important to one of the girls so at the last minute she changed to accommodate us. Our drivers were hand picked and top notch. The food provided was phenomenal. There is no way to ever repeat this trip. Thank you so much Roxanne.

Roxanne planned and organized a fantastic trip for us. She presented many options for us to choose from and then coordinated our itinerary. The whole trip from accommodations to restaurants to guides to transportation went perfectly. Roxanne is very professional and kept us in the loop throughout the planning process and pre-trip preparation. Thanks to Steps in Tuscany. Highly Recommend!

It was such an awesome experience last year that we went back this year. There are so many things to mention about this adventure. The beautiful countryside, the pure and exquisite food, and of course the wine. meeting new people and making friends and memories. To sum it all up I say “ this is my happy place!!”

I still get tears in my eyes when I think about sitting under the Tuscany sky as we listened to the music of a beautiful soprano voice and the loveliest harp accompanist! Ending this awesome trip with an evening with Opera in the Kitchen was just the icing on the cake! I loved my trip with Roxanne! Not only were the planned outings perfect in every detail, I came away knowing I had many friends for life! Doesn’t get any better than this! Thanks for the best of food (I mean the best!!!), best tours and great friendships!

We had a fabulous time on our tour with Steps in Tuscany. What a wonderful experience, led by Roxanne Stella, staying in a farmhouse, touring Tuscany, having a delightful cooking class, and exploring the area. So picturesque! Don and I would highly recommend this tour! It was so fun and we loved every minute!! Pasta, wine, and meeting new friends and not to forget Opera in the Kitchen! Italy in the fall was beautiful!

This was truly the trip of a lifetime. From the time that we got off of the train from Rome to the time that we got on the train back to Rome, everything was planned. The first night was a chef prepared dinner to ease us into the Tuscan experience. The rest of the week was jam packed with truffle hunting, marble mining, wine tasting and cooking experiences. We also worked in a little shopping and touring Pisa. Roxanne plans everything. There is never a dull moment. You will not be bored. Friendships will be made and memories will be made. If you want a relaxing vacation, don't go on this trip. However, if you want to see Tuscany like a native, you absolutely have to go. Roxanne is the quintessential hostess and planner. Go, and when you get home, pizza and pasta will never taste the same.

Worry free, unique, well-designed itinerary. Everything is taken care of. The farmhouse is lovely, surrounded by vineyards. The owners are wonderful. It feels like your home away from home. Interesting, intimate activities planned specifically for our group. It felt like we saw the real Tuscany!

This was such a wonderful trip and I will always have wonderful memories. We traveled to so many villages, wineries and lunch at a working farm while taking in the beautiful scenery with our great drivers! Roxanne shares with you many of the discoveries of Tuscany she has made. All are fabulous! The cooking class at Tuscan Food & Wine was such a great experience as it was hands on! We prepared 3 different pastas and Tiramisu and enjoyed our preparations with wonderful wines. The truffle hunt at Savini Tartufi was quite the experience and our lunch was delicious with truffle inspired cuisine and of course delicious wines! Such a fantastic experience!

If you ever decide to go to Tuscany, this is a good way to go. Everything you do is private…meals, tours, guides, driver and transportation. STEPS in Tuscany Pam and I went to Florence first for 3 days, then we were picked up by a driver and taken to our private home in Tuscany (8 guests only).

My husband and I just returned home from this experience and it is the ONLY way to go! Private driver from beginning to end, private tours, private cooking class, private truffle hunt, private wine and olive oil tastings, private lunches, and dinners. Grab your friends and go on this trip! I promise that you will never regret it.

As an International Flight Attendant I’ve taken lots of trips..... this trip, Roxanne put together, for 8 friends surpasses every trip I’ve ever done!! Just trust STEPS in Tuscany to make the best decisions on what to see and how to see it!! Truly a trip of a lifetime!! Five star in every way!!! Thanks!!

Where to begin? When I decided that I was going abroad this summer I immediately reached out to Roxanne. She not only coordinated an amazing weeks itinerary, but as well transportation, markets, and my favorite SHOPPING! Alongside wonderful friendships that I now hold near and dear to my heart!
