Great tour and tour guide - We had an amazing time on our tour. Beatrice was our guide and she was amazing. She was friendly, fun and knowledgeable. It was just me and my 2 daughters and we really connected with Beatrice and she introduced us to foods we never would have tried on our own.. Highly recommend this tour.

La Spetzia Cinque Terre Food Tour - Do Eat Better Experience - We had an amazing food tour in La Spetzia led by the lovely Beatrice. She was a warm friendly guide and she took us to sample food and wine in various locations which we wouldn’t have known about. We were a small group of 6 and we all became friends during the three and a half tour. A very enjoyable way to spend time in La Spetzia.

Exceptional Day in La Spezia - Beautiful weather, exceptional food and a terrific tour guide named Manuela made the day just perfecto! She was very knowledgeable about the area, as she was born here. I recommend that you do not eat before your tour because you will eat plenty. It was a great way to learn the city and experience the more traditional dishes. Highly recommend

THEE BEST!!! - THEE BEST!!!
We met in Piazza Garibaldi. Loads of restaurants and shopping if you like and a great way to see stores of your interest.
Instructions for meet up super clear and concise.
Gaia was our guide. She is AMAZING!!! We communicated prior to ensure we were in correct area. Gaia was punctual, professional yet friendly with a super sweet heart! She even offered for us to contact her after the tour if needed, being we are tourist.
We enjoyed great food with Gaia and another American family. Had loads of flavorful food options which covered a variety of local favorites.
We walked a good deal which was great as we ate so much. Some restaurants we took the food to go, other restaurants we sat and ate, which was really nice.
Definitely a tour to experience!!!
Definitely recommend!!

Food tour - Tour with 6 ppl through the hustle and bustle of La Spezia. Our guide Manuella was very friendly and easygoing. One of us doing the tour have some allergies which she kept track off and made sure there always where good alternatives. We have been to other food tours where they just wanted to present the local cuisine where available, Manuella was keen to show the best versions of those dishes not just the dish itself.

Friendly, knowledgeable, great local food and conversation - Manuela is an excellent guide. We do food tours everywhere we visit and this one really stood out. Because we're mid season there was only myself and my husband on the tour. The food was delicious and interesting but we really enjoyed the conversation with Manuela about the local culture in la spezia and all sorts of other things. Would highly recommend.
