Great Guide to the History and Food of Bolzano - Piero was a great guide. He gave us a great summary of the history of Bolzano and the Sudtirol, and explained why they are happy to be "Italians who speak German".
After our history lesson, Piero took us through the outdoor market (held daily) and stopped in at several places for appetizers, wine, and dessert.

Lovely Tour with an even Lovelier Local Guide - The tour was fantastic! Even though the weather was grey and rainy, the guide’s sunny disposition made up for the lack of sun and warmth that day. The food was all delicious and gave a lovely overview of the local cuisines and the locals who made it. The guide was so knowledgeable and able to answer questions on a variety of topics all based around what the group’s interests were, from politics to architecture to even how wine is made. We had an amazing time and I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who loves learning about food and culture from a local.

Best tour of our trip! - We booked Claudia’s Bolzano food tour as a part of our Italian honeymoon. Claudia went above and beyond to make our experience extra special. We learned so much history about the town and ate delicious food. Bolzano is a really neat, beautiful city and We really did feel like a local with her by our side. She was so knowledgeable and kind and we really feel like we made a new friend. She also went out of her way to email us an itinerary for our next location stop in Lake Garda. We did everything she suggested and it was so appreciated. Claudia offers many other tour experiences, so I would highly recommend looking into all she had to offer. We wish she could be with us the rest of our stay here in Italy! Thank you Claudia ! 10/10

Wonderful food & drink tour of Bolzano - What a great day with Claudia exporing the food and drink of Bolzano. This was much more than a food tour as Claudia is incredibly knowledgeable about the area and its history. We sampled some street food and visited a couple of "locals" taverns that was a lot of fun. Thanks Claudia - you gave us a fantastic experience we won't forget!

Wonderfully Delicious - We really enjoyed this walking food tour of Bolzano. Claudia taught us so much about Bolzano and its unique history while showing us hidden gems throughout the city centre. The foods and drinks that we tasted during the tour were fantastic! Some of the items we tried were tailored to the foods that were in season (November) that we otherwise wouldn’t be able to have. Claudia was also very generous and provided us with recommendations on restaurants to try based upon the things we told her we wanted to eat during our time in Bolzano. Whether you’re in Bolzano for the day or for multiple days, you should absolutely take Claudia’s tour.

Fun, interesting and delicious. - My daughter and I loved our tour with Claudia. It was a highlight of our vacation. She was very knowledgeable and organized the tour very well. Learning the history of the South Tyrol region while eating and drinking the specialties of the region was a perfect combination. I would highly recommend this tour and hope to be back soon.

Great intro to the area - We loved our tour with Claudia! We did this our first day in South Tyrol, so it was so helpful to get an overview of the history of the area, as well as have a local to explain the food and customs of the region. We tried tons of great foods and drinks, and really enjoyed chatting with Claudia in general.
