La Spezia Cinque Terre Food Tour

Meet up point was easy to find and the guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. First stop was a local bakery for Foccacia and then nit too far away for a local delicacy made faith chick pea flower - can’t remember what it was called. Then onto the oldest restaurant in La Spezia, opened in 1905 and still in the same family. The interior of the restaurant was beautiful. Food and wine was really good, but unfortunately I was full and didn’t do justice to the spaghetti with pesto. I didn’t continue to the next stop as it was so hot and humid I was feeling a faint, so headed back to the ship.

A perfect way to experience some local cuisine you won't find on your own, and to meet interesting people.

I’m sure this is usually a good tour , but I’m afraid this particular one didn’t hit the mark for us , our guide though lovely , was training two other new guides. All good but this actually made us feel like the third wheel, as she spent most of her time talking to them 😢 she also didn’t give enough history as we walked around , I realise it’s a good tour but it’s also a showcase of the town. This was lacking My food intolerance’s were not taken into account ( possible issue with communication through Viator ) but I ended up very sick and we both felt the good was below par ! Poor possibly off wine served , so all in all a lot of improvement needed

Fantastic tour with Sofia! Wonderful introduction to La Spezia and local foods/wine. Sofia was engaging and genuinely interested in learning about her guests. Come hungry - there is a lot of food! Recommend planning this tour early in your stay to take advantage of all the information that Sofia provided us.
