5.00Alessandro is an amazing guide. This was a great combination of a food tour, a city tour and a storytelling delight. The food selections were a great mix of local favorites, topped off with an amazing dessert. The best parts of the tour were the colorful explanations of sights we needed to see. We recommend the tour - and especially with Alessandro. We also recommend you taking the tour on your first day here. We cannot wait to go back to revisit the areas we covered on the tour. Bravo Alessandro!
