Martina was a fantastic guide and good company. A great way to see some of verona and understand more about the food.
Valeria is a great tour guide, full of pride for her culture and heritage. We had a great time with the food and wine pairings
This is a must do for your first day in Verona, you will get to visit all the local traditional food places and taste some amazing wines. Francesca was the perfect host, it was like having dinner with an old friend, there were 5 in our group which led to easy conversation while we ate drank and walked through the streets of Verona. Thank you!
This is a fantastic food tour of Verona. There are two local delicacies in this area. The first is donkey meat and the second is should we ask if we horse meat. On this tour you were able to get both or neither if you like! I had both and they were delicious. Donkey ragu and then horse stew with polenta. Also had nice anti pasta to start and gelato to finish. Our guide, Martina, was excellent. Very knowledgeable and personable and such a great person
Francesca gave us a wonderful tour of local food and drinks in various restaurants . We should have done this at the start of our holiday! Francesca was so good at explaining not only what we were eating but the origins of the dishes. I highly recommend this tour and thank you Francesca!
Great experience! We had traffic so we were a little late and our guide Francesca was so understanding and accommodating and made sure we got to do everything and every stop! She had great recommendations both during the tour and for our time in Verona. Would definitely recommend this to others!
Francesca was just as amazing as the food. We had a great tour and absolutely tried things we may not have been exposed to if we were on our own.
Anna was a great tour guide full of local history and tips to share about Verona. The food stops were tasty, generous and a great exposure to some of Verona’s traditions. Each place we stopped the staff was friendly and welcoming. Where needed, dietary restrictions were substituted easily. The gelato at the end was amazing! Would highly recommend this tour! Thanks Anna!
We really enjoyed this food tour and would highly recommend it on your first day in Verona. Francesca was so lovely and it felt like hanging out a good friend all afternoon! She was warm, personable, and accommodating with our little kids. She knows everything about her city and answered all of my questions. I especially love the food guide and wish we were here longer to try all the spots! Definitely book this tour. It will be a highlight of your trip!
Great food tour sampling traditional Verona food and wine. Francesca was a great guide. Highly recommended.
