4.00Stefania was a great host, she was enthousiastic and helped us with the pharmacy. She took her time to explain us the history of Pescara and other stuff. Also we talked about random stuff to know each other better.
Very happy

5.00Me and my partner took part in the food tour of Pescara Vecchia starting from the Porta Nuova market the protagonist was the food: Sandwich with porchetta, Paillotte cacio e ove, local cheeses and delicious Pasta alla Chitarra. The guide Luca was courteous and prepared.
FUN, TRADITION AND TASTE.

4.00Interesting, relaxing, tasty and fun tour! The proposed tour offers really satisfying culinary stops that start from Pescara Market, followed by pizza tasting by the sea, first of typical pasta on the farm and closing artisan ice cream parlor. Perhaps, overall, if I may give a little advice to optimize the service, a little too gastronomic (lots of food) and a little eno (local wine to taste that is really spacey).
Buyer beware!!

1.00Twice cancelled. Second time we were already in Pescara by train. Stay away. We never went on tour. So the choice is yours to make. Killed a half day on train back and forth from Giulinova and had a cafe.
Assolutamente da fare in questo tour gastronomico!!!

1.00Was told the tour guide was sick so it was cancelled and we are hopefully getting a refund. Looking at the other comments this seems to be a common occurrence - do not book.
Have a Plan B for the day

1.00You might want to make sure you have an alternative planned for the day, as this was the second experience in two days cancelled at short notice the operator, Gustabruzzo. And I mean short notice - we got an email at 6:16 for a tour meant to start at 10.00 am. No reason given and there was nothing in the booking that said the tour would be cancelled if enough people didn’t book it. I get that life and emergencies happen, and would be more understanding if there was just a brief reason given for the cancellation. In the absence of any explanation, I’ve been left feeling that Gustabruzzo have not been very honest about the terms of their offering or caring about their customers. The one saving grace is that Viator have been super helpful about it all - can’t fault them.
Dramatic

1.00Dramatic. Not to eat half a rooster. Complaint was ignored. How dare you serve something like that. Pay the full price. Once never again.
Tour cancelled an hour beforehand

1.00I received a message an hour before the tour that it was cancelled because of the “sudden illness” of the tour guide, which, looking back on past reviews, seems to be a frequent occurrence. While we were offered the option of rescheduling for two days later, we had to leave Pescara the next day. We were told we’d get a refund. I guess I don’t understand not having a back-up tour guide.
