Charming Walking Food/Wine Tour

5.00Manuela was a wonderful guide who shared insights about Verona and its food culture. We visited small shops with food/drink/sweets specific to Verona and the region. We especially appreciated that even though the tour did not fill up ( only the two of us + Manuela), he did not cancel for whatever reason, as so often happens. We highly recommend the tour. Very much worth it.
Great tour

Great Food and City Tour of Verona

5.00Our guide, Leonardo was fantastic! It was only my wife and me on the tour but that didn’t throw him. Leonardo was very knowledgable about Verona and the food and wine from the area. While there were not as many tastings as other tours we’ve taken, we learned a lot about the items and how they fit into Verona’s food history. The walk around town was also very informative. We really felt coming away from the tour that we certainly got our money’s worth and spent a few very pleasant hours learning about Verona.
Good overview of city & food

Just OK for a light bite

3.00This was not as good as other food walks I've taken in other cities, but it was fun. Our first stop, an olive oil tasting on bruschetta, was not informative at all, but the oils were interesting and different. The candy stop was an intense rapid overload of sugar with hardly any information. Our cake stop wasn't a stop, it was a pick-up and eat in the street, again, with no information. Our final stop we actually learned a bit about the two wines, but nothing more about the meats and cheeses than their straightforward descriptions. As we walked through Verona our guide pointed out a few historical points of interest. While we had a very good time with our guide and the other guests, the food choices didn't thrill us.
Delicious Verona

5.00The tour was tasty and informative. Our guide Leonardo was passionate about the food we tried and very knowledgeable about the wine too. We were not rushed and enjoyed the experience
Disappointed and underwhelmed

2.00Disappointed by an underwhelming tour. I've been on a few food tours in Italy, they are usually filled with interesting stories and inspiring food. Our guy was lovely but spoke quickly and didn't make it a memorable experience, no fun stories to make Verona or the food come alive. We basically had some toast with olive oil, a few sweets, a cake, and some wine and unremarkable cheese and salami. I was underwhelmed.
Carlo was a wonderful...

5.00Carlo was a wonderful guide and so knowledgeable about the history and culture of Verona and it's good. We learnt so much and enjoyed being introduced to stores and foods we otherwise would not have tried without his guidance. Unfortunately they were not able to cater well for my friend who has coeliac when it came to food, which was absolutely not the fault of the host who tried his best to adjust the experience. Would recommend for anyone interested in Verona culture, food, wine and history but would caution for those who are gluten intolerant or allergic/coeliac.
