Excellent food tour

Manuela was a delight. Very knowledgeable and pleasant with a great knowledge of La Spezia and the local delicacies. Highly recommended

Fantastic foods and great times

Steven_M, Sep 2024

The focaccia and the Franatta were amazing… it was also great to be a small group for more intimate setting. Beatrice was a great guide and knowledgable of the area and history. Would recommend 10/10!

Great food and wonderful Tour guide makes for a wonderful afternoon experience.

Aaron_R, Sep 2024

An easy 5 star review for me. First, the tour was led by the wonderful Beatrice who kept the tour moving at a nice, gentle pace so we could enjoy each of 5 stops/food tasted along with her stories on local cuisine and history. The food at all places was plentiful and delicious. And this coming from a couple with access to all great good we can eat on the Sun Princess cruise. Well done!

Don’t miss out on this!

This tour was the perfect way to wind down our time in La Spezia. Our guide was pleasant and knowledgeable on the cuisine and local restaurants we visited. We walked around the town to local dining spots we had not yet visited during our stay. All of the food was delicious and the portions were generous. I highly recommend adding this tour to anyone visiting this lovely town.

Excellent.

Marie_J, Jul 2024

Gaia was phenomenal. She was very knowledgeable about the food and area. She was accommodating and gave great recommendations for shopping and visiting the port and different parts of Italy. I highly recommend this tour and Gaia as a guide. I would book her tour again without hesitation. Bravo!

Excellent

It was just my husband and I. One day before the tour I got a message providing a link to google. maps to the meeting point, photos and telephone number of our tour guide. Very organized, never had that before. Beatrice was very nice and provided professional and personal service. We got to sample focaccia and farinata first. We had lunch in a historic restaurant: Antipasti and Linguine al pesto. Delicious and typical. Drinks were provided. As dessert we had gelato. Overall it was a relaxed and fun time!!

Enjoyable, friendly and informative tour

Carinne was an awesome tour guide who showed us more of La Spezia than we would have seen otherwise. We loved learning about La Spezia and trying the amazing, authentic food

Best tour so far!

Dana_P, Jul 2023

What an amazing experience we had! We sampled the local foods and wines. Some we liked an others not so much. Our guide was fabulous, taking us on a tour of the city as well. We had a great experience. Be prepared to walk a lot! Even my daughter tried foods I never thought she would touch. Would do this again in a heart beat!

Incredible Food Tour

Gayla_B, Jun 2023

Beatrice was the best guide we could ask for! She was very knowledgeable of the city because she is native to the city. The he food was amazing and the initial place where we started were the nicest owner and so helpful. The pesto pasta salad was amazing and ending with the gelato was the final touch! We recommended it to friends already and will continue to do so!!!!! Beatrice was the reason it was so great because of the relationships she has developed with the places we went! Highly recommend!!!!! Gay Belt - Dallas Texas

Florence/Pisa (La Spezia), Italy At it’s best!

We had a great experience and I to a guy was the best she made us feel so at home and every restaurant we went to. We enjoyed each one of them. I tried to upload my pictures, but they wouldn’t upload.

Way overpriced for what...

Christine_K, Mar 2023

Way overpriced for what you get. We had 4?meals in other cities for same price. The guide was lovely but save your money.

Great food, great guide!

sasha_k, Mar 2023

We had a fantastic evening! Our guide, Daniela was excellent and shared so much information about the food, the city, and the culture. We enjoyed everything we tried and got to see places in the city we never would have found otherwise. Fantastic tour!

Wonderful time!

Michelle_P, Sep 2022

We had the most wonderful guide for this tour. The food was delicious and plenty of it. It was our first day in town and so glad we did this tour as we learned a lot and were able to go to wonderful restaurants without doing our own research and reservations.

Excellent
