From start to finish the tour, struck the perfect balance between delicious food, drinks, local history and authentic Florentine atmosphere.

“Amazing tour! I booked it last minute for my birthday and had a great time with the guide Francesco who went above and beyond to make sure he got me a slice of cake and - hear me out! - candles, which he had to run to the shop next door for, to sing happy birthday to me. So glad I chose to do this tour and met such amazing people. Also, the tapas experience was great. The black paella made of cuttlefish has me wanting to go back to BCN!!! Love it!!”

“I highly recommend this tour - no better way to spend an afternoon in Lisbon! Alex was a brilliant guide and she gave us great tips on how to get the best local food. I like walking but it wasn't a physically challenging tour at all, so I think it would be suitable for people with limited mobility or those who don't want to walk too much, as it stays away from the famously steep Lisbon hills. I tried all the food and drinks offered and everything was delicious - I arrived very hungry and left very full and very happy!”

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…”
