Incredible flavors, relaxing afternoon

What an amazing food tour! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the food, the history and the culture. We tried a lot in a compact area so we were able to go at a relaxed pace and just enjoy the food, the surroundings and the people we met. There was a mix of the things you expected as well as surprises and food we wouldn’t have even known to try.

Our best vacation tour ever!

Our time together was worth far more than the cost of the tour. We have experienced many tours while in Rome, Sicily, Crete, etc., but this one was by far the very best. It was so helpful that our guide spoke perfect English. Thank you for a beautiful experie...read more
