5.00Chef Abram's food tour in Torino was a lot of fun. My wife and joined the tour that had a group of tourists from NY going as well. We all had a lot of food, drink, conversation and laughs. Chef Abram facilitated a very fun and celebratory atmosphere every step of the way. We tried gelato, vermouth, wine and cheese, focaccia pizza and then ended the tour at a fantastic restaurant where we were served a lot of great food and seemingly endless bottles of wine. What a blast. My wife and I like to do food tours our first night in a town so we can get some suggestions on local food, customs, culture, must-see spots, etc. Chef Abram was full of good advice. The next day we tried a restaurant that Chef Abram recommended (the restaurant wasn't on the tour, he just gave us the advice while walking us around). It ended up being our favorite restaurant in Torino. It is always so great to get good recommendations from somebody in the know than just rolling the dice when deciding what to do and where to eat, and the suggestions Chef Abram had made our stay in Torino so much better. I highly recommend Chef Abram and I Eat Food Tours if you are in Torino!
Thank you so much!

5.00Our first food tour, and it was an amazing experience! Not only is Abram a keen connoisseur of Italian gastronomy and the city of Turin, he is also extremely kind and humorous. We enjoyed these 4 hours (almost 5, even!), it passed too fast! A moment of joy and sharing that we would like to live more often! We hope to meet Cecilia next time; thank you again!!!
An excellent tour

5.00This food tour was so much fun. Cecilia was so friendly and took us to some great locations. We started with a coffee and pastry and then went on to have bread and cheese from a local market. We finished with a Turin specialty 'bicerin', which is a delicious chocolate coffee drink. Everywhere we went Cecilia knew the owners/managers and it felt more like visiting friends than a formal tour. I particularly enjoyed trying Gianduja chocolate - another Turin specialty.
