Traveler reviews
Takes you beyond what you would normally experience.
This is the best way of experiencing local food and culture. The tour was very well planned and an enjoyable learning experience with the right blend of local food and drink. Our guide exceptional. Not only did Val know her stuff she was engaging and passionate about her local cuisine.
So much fun and so much food!
What a great food tour! We had a great time learning about the history of the food in Milan and tasting the local offerings. The guide was passionate and shared her knowledge in a fun and interactive way. Highly recommend!
Best time to spent with good people
The guide was well informative & she sang for us. I may have put some added stress on her by being late. GPS sent me in the wrong direction. She was gracious about it. Oh of course the foods & wine.
Foodie heaven
Such an awesome tour and was definitely a highlight of our month in Italy. Very informative, such a great introduction to Milanese cuisine. Food provided was very generous and they were able to accommodate our daughter’s gluten intolerance with alternative options. Highly recommend.
