Our guide Aram was a really nice guide with whom we had nice talks. She also told us some background information about the food we were eating. Unfortunately, some places where closed, but our guide knew some similar places, which were also quite nice.
Our guide was very good, proud of her heritage. Very fun and a very enjoyable tour guide. We experienced different food which was great. Highly recommend.
I chose the 5 pm experience. As the major market had many stalls already closed at that time, I would next time choose the 11.30 option. The organizers were very nice and called to clarify my gluten intolerance. They order dishes suited to my needs. The experience was set up to be quite social, with plenty of time to chat with others in the group over snacks and drinks, both standing at the food hall and sitting at a cafe. It was not so much a deep dive into local food — more of a social event with food. I was thrilled, too, to discover vegan gelato and other dishes I had not yet experienced in Padua. I would not have found these experiences by myself. The host mentioned this was her first time as a guide and the tour itself is quite new. They’ve established a strong start and I am sure will continue to improve. They are passionate about their work!
Chiara was amazing. We enjoyed the tour so much! She was fun and engaging and gave us lots of fun and historical information about the area. We tasted great food and wine. We would recommend this tour 100%! So glad we booked it.
It absolutely lives up to the previous reviews!!! Chiara is delightful, so sweet, attentive, interested, and has so many exciting things to tell. She truly radiates a love for Italy and captivates you immediately. She immediately addresses the individual wishes of the tourists and is always striving to ensure that everyone is satisfied. We were very happy!!!! Anytime again with Chiara!
This is a must do your! Our guide Anita provided us with lots of background of the area and a brief history of Italy, which help enhance my experience. The tour started with a refreshing spritz and a delicious small bite. We sampled local cheese and enjoyed a glass of white wine, which was the perfect complement. The pasta dishe with onions and pepper was amazing! I'm going back to the same restaurant again it was that good! The meatballs and pasta was delicious, too. The red wine we enjoyed paired perfectly. Last, we went to get gelato. It was the best and so refreshing with the warm weather. I would highly recommend this tour and Anita!!
A wonderful experience with amazing food and drinks. We started with a Spritz and small bite while listening to a very brief but informative history of Italy. The cheese tasting was delicious and I learned about how the aging process affects the taste. The white wine complimented the cheese perfectly. Our pasta dishes were very flavorful and paired well with the red wine. The gelato at the end was refreshing and delicious! Sometimes, touring solo can feel awkward but our guide Anita made the whole tour comfortable and enjoyable. The tour is a must do if you want to experience a variety of excellent food and wine in Padua.
What a great evening out. Chiara is a lovely, knowledgeable and organised host. Delicious food, great drinks and all while exploring the history and grandeur of Padova!
The excursion through the cuisine of Veneto and the city of Padua was a wonderful experience. Our guide Chiara contributed significantly to this fantastic trip. With her wealth of interesting information, enthusiasm, and cheerful nature, it was a truly great time.
Kiara was amazing! Informative about the area as well as Italian culture and life as a teen. She was enthusiastic and fun!
