Friendly, knowledgeable, great local food and conversation - Manuela is an excellent guide. We do food tours everywhere we visit and this one really stood out. Because we're mid season there was only myself and my husband on the tour. The food was delicious and interesting but we really enjoyed the conversation with Manuela about the local culture in la spezia and all sorts of other things. Would highly recommend.

Excellent - It was just my husband and I. One day before the tour I got a message providing a link to google. maps to the meeting point, photos and telephone number of our tour guide. Very organized, never had that before.
Beatrice was very nice and provided professional and personal service. We got to sample focaccia and farinata first. We had lunch in a historic restaurant: Antipasti and Linguine al pesto. Delicious and typical. Drinks were provided. As dessert we had gelato. Overall it was a relaxed and fun time!!

Walking, eating and learning! - We had a wonderful time walking and eating our way around La Spezia with our knowledgeable and delightful guide, Gaia. We sampled focaccia, pasta with pesto, farinata, mixed fried fish and topped it all off with gelato. Gaia, born and raised in La Spezia, provided a home grown perspective to the tour.
