Excellent

This tour itinerary was excellent. Our guide Benedetta was really good. She was knowledgeable and engaging. She k kept explanations simple and clear. The tour was well thought of, and food quality is very good. Vendors selected for this tour were very established in their own area. Highly recommended.

This was a super enjoyable tour. Our guide Ela was very engaging and insightful. We were a small group of 6 and everyone was very friendly so it made the tour so much more enjoyable. The places Ela took us to were amazing and the food and drinks were great. Would definitely recommend this tour to everyone.

Simply excellent in every way. Guide was knowledge of not only the food we had but local history. Can’t say enough about the experience.
