I really loved our tour guide Sarina. She knew a lot about the history of the culture and the background, and she truly made it of most enjoyable journey.
It’s a great introduction to some good food available by an easy walk around the central historical area. Manny was an engaging guide and if the other couples and families on our tour are anything to go by, it’s a fun way to meet some people from other places
We had a great time with Francesco. He was very informative & interesting. We ate great food, & tasted olive oil & balsamic vinegar. We would recommend this tour to everyone.
Francesco was incredibly knowledgeable and delivered information that kept us both informed and laughing. We made many stops and left too full to have lunch.
Our guide was amazing!! We loved the tour so much to sample. We were stuffed when it was finished. Loved the history lesson!

Our tour guide Franscisco was awesome. very informative and engaging. great personality. The stops were great and the food was amazing. he had very good insight to offer as well. would definetly recommend.
Food and drink is absolutely fantastic on this tour. There was a wide variety and plenty of it with excellent quality. Central Market and lunch stops are particularly good and entertaining. Our guide actually was not that good but the food was so good it more than made up for that.
