As always, Kate Bolton-Porciatti does an excellent job in providing interesting and very useful information in an engaging format. I would recommend this and any of her other conversations to everyone.
Kate's presentations are superb and this one falls into the same category. The action packed seminar and the document that followed were filled with wonderful information to make your time in Florence educational, fun and even relaxing!
Kate takes you on a virtual escape to places it’s obvious she know and loves. She has the ability to describe, explain, and illustrate locations that make you feel like you are actually there. She is a gifted story teller who takes you on a journey and gives context to destination. She created smells, tastes and longing for the experience of Florence. It was a delightful escape on a Sunday afternoon!
