Fantastic! - Lorenzo was fantastic! He kept the tour even though I was the only customer and was very accommodating (despite me being late). He has great insight on his own city, Genoa, and is very passionate to share his knowledge. The food was great as well (better than the food I tried on my own!). Definitely recommend it!

Highly recommend - delicious food, great guide, excellent value - Highly recommend this food tour with Lorenzo - we had an amazing time learning about Genoa and trying the traditional food (which was delicious). We felt it was very good value - we got to try the pestos, focaccia, fried fish (with great veggie alternative), traditional ice-cream and then two glasses of wine. Would definitely recommend booking this tour :-)

Good food, fun tour - Lorenzo was a great tour guide! He gave both neat historical facts and told us about the food. The food was specific to Genoa and tasty! It honestly wasn't as much food as I was expecting, but it was still good. There was 3 people in total which I think was a good size.

Highly recommended - The tour was really awesome. We came from the cruise port, and it's about a 20-minute walk to the Piazza De Ferrari, the meeting point. The food that we tried were really good, and they were all significant portion. The wine tasting was a great way to end the tour. Lorenzo was a great guide and a local, and we had a great interaction. It was just me and my wife during the tour, which made the experience more personable. He gave a great explanation of the food and the site we visited. The experience was really good for the two hours; and since everything is walking distance, you can visit the other sites afterward. Lorenzo gave us a lot of suggestions of places and other food to try. I highly recommend this tour to anyone.
