A beautiful and delicious day in Verona - A great tour that showcased perfectly the local cuisine of Verona. Emma was very knowledgeable about all things Verona and her passion for her hometown is notable. She was super quick on her feet when the Gelato place was closed and quickly took us to a bakery to try a local dessert and coffee. We've had tours cancel on us in the past for being the only two people on the tour but this company was kind enough to see it through and gave us a mini private tour. Definitely would recommend due to the delicious food, kind and knowledgeable tour guide, and as a great way to learn and explore the beautiful city.

A relaxing and delicious day in Verona - Great tour to take to experience a variety of the local cuisine that showcase Verona specialty. Emma was a wonderful tour guide that had a lot of knowledge and background about Verona. You can definitely tell that she's very passionate about her city. We've had tour companies cancel on us in the past for being the only pair but they were super generous to still let us go on the tour and get a mini private tour. Towards the end of the tour the Gelato place that we were going to go was closed and Emma was quick on her feet to take us to a bakery to try some amazing traditional baked good and a coffee for my partner. Overall an amazing tour to take.

Magda was a great guide. - Magda, our guide, was tremendous. She was very informative and took us to some excellent places to eat and drink. She was very sociable and an experienced traveller, so we were able to share our experiences of both food and places in the world. This helped to make the tour even more enjoyable. The time passed so quickly. We loved all the food dishes available to us and all the restaurants were friendly and hospitable. We have been on a number of city food tours around Europe but this was the best yet. If you book, ask for Magda to be your guide, she is so good!

Gastronomical Tour - Verona - We had the tour with Giuli. First of all, the tour included everything that was described. We ate and enjoy the gastronomy of Verona and Italy in different ways and we also got interesting information about the food and the city.
In addition, Giuli gave us a very good conversation besides the touristic things and she also gave us very good recommendations adapted to our necessities and destinations not only in Verona but also the surrounding places and Milano.
In general, we enjoyed the tour so much :)

Amazing! Even after we showed up late! Emanuela is fantastic - Extra props to this tour and our tour guide, our train ran very behind schedule, so we were an hour late. However the tour guide gave us directions so we could jump right in the middle of the tour. The food was great and Emanuela was a fantastic guide. She was very knowledgeable and took us places we wouldn’t have thought or even tried to go. Very much worth it if you want to experience the food in Verona with the Italian culture. And again, major praise for Emanuela. Even after the tour we had walked the same direction away, and she stayed an extra 20 minutes and showed us where we could get Italian coffee to take home. 10/10!

Fabulous food tour with Giuli. - Delicious food and an interesting and informative few hours with Giuli. Would recommend as a great start to a holiday. Giuli took us to places that we later revisited and would not have otherwise found. Thanks.

Giulia was a delight and this walking food tour was a fun and dleicious way to spend the afternoon in Verona!! - I can't imagine a better guide than Giulia to host me and my Mom on a private culinary tour of Verona! Giulia was kind, witty and knowledgeable about the food, wine and culture. She showed us spots we wouldn't have otherwise discovered and gave us recommendations for things to do after the tour. It felt like we were spending the day with a friend or family member. Highly recommend!
