About

"A fantastic tour of southern Italy from the Amalfi Coast to the Adriatic Sea. Kathleen makes the entire tour interesting and fun; full of history, culture, and cuisine. She has a knack of finding fabulous restaurants and accommodations that are absolutely first-rate but cozy and comfortable as well. Just take it all in, relax, and enjoy knowing Kathleen has all the details taken care of."

“Today's traveler has so many options - where to go, how to get there, where to stay, what to see. If you are seeking a small group, a well-constructed and varied travel experience with informative guides, some independence, high quality hotels, and top local restaurants, consider A Cook's Tour.

The activity mix includes a few cooking classes, where you learn and eat local dishes, visiting area wineries, and touring the important local sites to get some history and cultural feel of where you are. Kathleen, the owner and Director, plans every detail. If you want to explore more in your free time, she is there to help with recommendations and arrangements. The type of tour attracts an interesting and fun mix of people from all over, creating an environment for friendships.

I'm taking my fourth trip (2026) with A Cook's Tour and have loved every one."

"I recently embarked on the Piedmont tour with my family, and it surpassed all our expectations. From the incredible food and wine to the lovely accommodations, every aspect was meticulously curated. The warmth and hospitality of both the locals and our fantastic tour guide/owner (Kathleen) added a special touch. The sights were beyond beautiful, creating unforgettable moments.

The wine tours were both educational and delicious, providing insightful glimpses into the local winemaking culture. The wines, a delightful discovery, were so impressive that I ended up buying some and had them shipped back. Now, as I enjoy those wines at home, I reflect on a truly enriching and tasteful experience. I highly recommend this tour for anyone seeking a perfect blend of culinary delights, beautiful landscapes, and memorable encounters."

“Another fantastic adventure with 'A Cooks Tour'! This time in Southern Italy with Kathleen and Troy as our guides. We enjoyed local food, super hotels, fun and interesting fellow travelers, great wine and historic site seeing. We had time on our own to explore  or just relax. But the group dinners, cooking classes, cocktail hours, and tours of wineries were the most memorable. "
