Beautiful Verona - What a great tour. Frederica was brilliant. She was so knowledgable about Verona and the venues we drank and ate in were great. Food and wine just perfect. A particular highlight was the main wine tasting in a perfect wine store by the River Adige.

Full foodie tour lots if delicious treats and excellent wine. - Great day with our amazing guide Alexandria who was not only informative about the food and wine in Verona but also told us so much about the history and families of the area. Lovely morning spent exploring areas and restaurants we would not otherwise have found. Well recommended.

A great way to explore and get a delicious taste of Verona. - I absolutely loved our tour with our guide Allesandra. It was a truly great way to learn about Verona history and culture whilst sampling local food and wine, ending up with dessert in a lovely traditional gelateria. There were largely couples in our small group (from Scotland, The USA and Australia) but my partner and teenager were part of the group too and my son really enjoyed the whole experience. Allesandra was charming and interested in everyone as well as passionate about her city. Good value and highly recommended.

Enjoyable small group local food and wine experience - As a solo traveler i was good to join a small group tour of English speaking, likeminded people. The tour was well organised, the guide provided lots of information of the local cuisine and wines as well as the area and a little history. We made 5 stops with a comfortable pace to independent family establishments, all quite different experiences enjoying the local dishes and wines. An enjoyable tour, well recommended.

Excellent & Outstanding Tour - I had a marvellous tour with Alessandra last Sunday. She was soooo lovely and told us many many valuable insights about Verona‘s history as well as about the food and drinks of this city and the region. Alessandra thankfully adjusted the pace of the tour to the hot&humid weather of this day and made it a very relaxed and enjoyable event for our group. Above all, you could tell that Alessandra loves what she is doing which made the tour even more precious! Thank your very much for the 3,5 hours of your time, Alessandra!

Verona Food & Wine Walking Tour in Small-group - recommended - We really enjoyed this tour, and we recommend it. There was probably a little more focus on wine, and a little less on food, than we might have liked, but overall what we tried was very good. Verona is a beautiful city, and in introducing us to it our guide Isabella was knowledgeable and engaging.
