At the end of the night, it felt like we were the best of buddies just walking around the streets of Rome enjoying amazing food and wine. The place where you start was a cute little shop and initially I wasn't sure these little bites would provide enough food to fill us up for the evening, but by the end of the tour I was more than full and happy from the libations. Everything…”

“We went on the food tour having not been to Milan before. Our guide took us to five stops: a balsamic vinegar shop, a place for crecia, a pizza place, takeway pastries and gelato. All the food stops were very nice, but we had been to the balsamic vinegar shop and they do the tasting for any visitor. We would have liked more information about the food, and the areas we were visiting. The walk between some stops felt very long when we were not being told about the area or food as we travelled. Considering the cost, I don't think the tour was particularly good value.”
